Norman Stockton reports for Good Evening Ulster on the
latest meeting of secretary of state Tom King and Irish tanaiste Peter Barry as
part of the Anglo-Irish Agreement at Stormont Castle. Unionist protestors
outside the grounds include DUP councillor Gregory Campbell and Assembly member
Jim Wells, who try to break through the barbed wire fence with a cutting tool
and are arrested. There is also a symbolic gesture by elected council
representatives, who hang their chains of office on the barbed wire.
There is footage of
workers in East Belfast blocking off the Sydenham bypass for a time and Peter
Robinson voices his continuing anger at the presence of the Irish delegation to
reporter Norman Stockton. Tom King, meanwhile, hopes that people will begin to
see the facts about the Agreement and not believe the misleading narrative that
it gives the Irish government joint rule over Northern Ireland.
