Jane Loughrey reports for UTV Live from Dublin Castle, where the Northern Ireland peace process has temporarily relocated to give fresh impetus to the process. However, the talks are immediately overshadowed by a huge disagreement on Sinn Féin's place in the talks. The Chief Constable of the RUC has reported that he believes the IRA are behind the murder of two individuals in Northern Ireland recently and, as such, Sinn Féin face exclusion. 

Gerry Adams talks to the press outside, claiming the British government want an excuse to remove them. David Andrews of the Irish government and John Hume of the SDLP talk of keeping the talks inclusive, but David Ervine of the PUP believes that the there is no choice but to expel Sinn Féin. Monica McWilliams of the Women's Coalition believes that expulsion shouldn't happen but the argument proves a distraction to any meaningful talks, and a few days later the decision is made with Sinn Féin once more on the outside of the talks process.
