DUP could learn from Sri Lankan strategy

By Jim Gibney (for the Irish News)

Sri Lanka, smaller than Ireland, is an island off the southwest tip of India. For almost 200 years it was a British colony called Ceylon. In 1948 the people secured independence and in 1972 renamed their country Sri Lanka.
