- DUP leader Ian Paisley was holding firm last night to his commitment to share power with Sinn Fein in May despite the resignation of senior colleague MEP Jim Allister.

- Driver error has been blamed for yesterday morning's motorway crashes in which up to 60 vehicles were involved in a series of crashes in dense fog on the M7 and M9 in Co Kildare.
