DUP "posturing"

Gerry Adams must be sick of the sight of me. Nothing to do with a certain biography, but more to do with me first following him around various parts of Armagh and Down, then detaining him for 20 minutes to record Inside Politics. In the interview, on the airwaves tomorrow, the Sinn Fein President describes the DUP's talk of requiring delivery before they agree to devolution as "posturing". Questioned over DUP demands for a safety net, which could see republicans excluded from government if they break their committments, he says the Assembly rules cover this already. But in general terms he didn't seem keen to start the tug of war which is likely to follow the vote on March 7th. Instead his strategy is to appear above the fray and play up his policies on bread and butter issues.

Inside Politics is on Radio Ulster at 12.45pm, or you can catch it on the web after transmission via this link
