The rise of Sinn Fein, will it be poised to be in the government in the Republic of Ireland after the next election. Comments from D.O'Malley, Pat Ribbite, F.O'Tode and the Minister for Justice, O'Donoghue. Sinn Fein now has four MPs, and two Ministers in the Northern Executive, without discarding the IRA, this programme asks will it be able to do the same in the Republic. ( ... ENTRY TO BE COMPLETED) From the BBC Web site: "After greatly increasing its vote in the general and council elections, Sinn Fein is now the largest nationalist party in Northern Ireland. It has the potential to become the first all-Ireland party with real political power since the Act of Union. It entered government in Northern Ireland without shedding its paramilitary links. So-called punishment beatings are carried out by terrorist groups from both communities but a 40% increase in republican attacks has apparently not affected Sinn Fein's vote. Reporter Mandy McAuley examines Sinn Fein's growing power and how that sits alongside this rising level of violence and intimidation." |

Report from New York on the World Trade Centre terrorist attacks. Interviews with local people (originally from Northern Ireland) who survived. From the BBC Web Site: "The devastating terror attack on the World Trade Center on 11 September forms the background to this first programme in the new series of Spotlight. Reporter Kevin Magee went to New York to hear from Irish Americans caught up in the atrocity; people who were working in the twin towers and managed to escape with their lives and others who, as members of the emergency services, came to their rescue. One of the people who told of their experiences was Myles Donnelly from Enniskillen. On the morning of the suicide attacks he was at his desk on the 78th floor of the South Tower, the second one to be hit by a hijacked airliner. His experience of the violence in Northern Ireland taught him to get out quickly. Several of his closest colleagues who did not do likewise did not survive." |

Paisley said he didn't trust the DeChastelein Commission even if he swore on a bible, M. Durkan (SDLP) welcomed Adams comments.

Adam's answered questions on his speech today, it's not yet a certainty he says, but he says the IRA will respond and that must be met with generousity by British and Unionists.
