Looks like the powers to be want it to happen - will they bend the knee to unionist intransigence once more or will they force Peter to do what he is told like a good boy?

We should be shaping an Ireland based on full respect for the human and civil rights of all our people, an Ireland of which Larkin and Connolly would be very proud.

Yeah, looks like there will be some more negotiating going on over the summer. But they've passed all the tests so far, so I'm sure they'll get around this one at some point. Whenever everyone is ready. Can't see either the DUP or SF walking away now.
"The thing that always annoyed me about traditional Irish historiography was the paradox of its Anglocentrism. People are now prepared, I think, to confront the possibility that many Irish problems are, in a sense, indigenous to the Irish situation." Roy Foster (1989).
The Irish Language Act was envisaged in the SAA just like the policing and justice powers. It is up to the locally elected politicians to agree and make the decision on a suitable time for powers to be devolved.
I cant see it going down well in the unionist community if e.g. Gerry Kelly is appointed as the minister responsible for policing and justice.
He wouldn't be, if it's D'Hondt the SDLP will get it.
They were saying on Stormont Live that Paisley wants to make sure there is enough money for the police. I envisage a tug-of-war over the summer over the financing of this again. I'd say SF and DUP have this pretty much decided already amongst themselves how it is going to be triggered.

There was a few papers naming Kelly as the prospective candidate for the job!!He wouldn't be, if it's D'Hondt the SDLP will get it.

Wouldn't that mean it would become part of OFMDFM and not get a separate ministry?
