Irish parliamentary election called May 24

DUBLIN, Ireland, April 29 (UPI) -- The president of Northern Ireland, Mary McAleese dissolved parliament Sunday as Prime Minister Bertie Ahern announced an election next month.
The move came after Ahern met with British Prime Minister Tony Blair in London, Sky News reported.
However, in a joint statement issued in London, Ahern and Blair said the proposed May 24 vote could be called off if a power-sharing agreement wasn't reached by Ahern's Fianna Fail party and the right of center Progressive Democrats in the 166-seat parliament known as the Dail.
"If at any point it became clear that parties were unwilling to fulfill their commitments ... and support for policing, it would be unreasonable to expect the people of Northern Ireland to continue with an election to an assembly which would not exist," the statement said.
Ahern is seeking a third term in office, and a report said the race is expected to be close.

The Washington Times is owned by the Moonies, isn't it? Not surprised at the level of journalist acuracy from that source

It is and few buy it and it costs them a fortune a year to keep it going.
