North West needs a real peace dividend 27.03.07

Donegal Sinn Fein is today celebrating the ‘truly historic’ agreement between their party and the DUP to go into government together on May 8th.
Cllr. Pearse Doherty was at Stormont yesterday as part of Sinn Féin's negotiations team.
He said the deal must now “include a real peace dividend for the North West” and real all-Ireland development. This included co-operation and integration in areas such as health, transport and communications.
"The agreement between the DUP and Sinn Féin on the establishment of the Executive under the Good Friday Agreement is a hugely important and welcome development,” said Cllr. Doherty.
He said the agreement had the potential to open up a new era in the politics of the island of Ireland.
"Every effort must be made to ensure that the Executive and all the attendant institutions, including the All-Ireland Ministerial Council, get up and running in the time agreed.
“There is a special obligation on the Irish and British governments to ensure that the Executive is fully supported and that it has the resources to do its job.
"Together with Sinn Féin colleagues throughout the North West, I will be pressing the Irish Government to fulfil the potential of this political progress to the full.”
