Neeson: end republican greed

12.00.00am UTC (GMT +0000) Tue 20th Feb 2001

Alliance Party Leader Sean Neeson claims that Republican and Nationalist political greed is undermining the stability of the Good Friday Agreement.

Mr Neeson says: "The Good Friday Agreement was built on political compromise but Republicans in particular have undermined confidence in the process because of their intransigence over policing and putting armaments beyond use."

"One must seriously question their commitment to the Agreement at this point in time."

"The further of all the people of Northern Ireland is much more important than the selfish demands of Republicans who look on the process as a one way street".

ENDS.
