Democratic Unionist Party officials are to meet the Northern Ireland Secretary, Mr Paul Murphy, later today for talks on resuming the peace process.

This follows meetings between the British Prime Minister, Mr Blair, and pro-Agreement parties last week.

The talks are aimed at restarting the North's power-sharing institutions, which were suspended on October 14th following allegations of IRA activity.
