Paisley says time running out for SF to prove bona fides
DUP leader Ian Paisley has warned that time is running out for Sinn Féin to prove its bona fides on policing.
Sinn Féin is in the process of arranging a special ard fheis to end its opposition to the PSNI ahead of the planned restoration of devolution in March.
However, in his new-year message, Dr Paisley reiterates that the DUP will judge Sinn Féin on its actions rather than its words.
He says there is not much time for republicans to prove their commitment to policing before the devolution deadline due to their begrudging approach to the issue in recent months.
