The President, Mrs Robinson, is to be briefed at Aras an Uachtarain today on the STOP 96 peace campaign by two of its founders, Mr Paul Burton and Mr Gearoid O'Keeffe, and a group of children from both sides of the Border.

STOP (Solidarity To Organise Peace) will be asking the President to become the first signatory of a "Peacemobile", a mobile peace sign which it hopes will be signed by as many celebrities and members of the public as possible.
