Paisley and Ahern to discuss shared World War memorial

The North's first Minister, Dr Ian Paisley has said he will hold talks with the Taoiseach about developing a shared memorial for Irish people from North and the Republic who died in both world wars.

Dr Paisley said the time was right to remember those who gave their lives to save democracy.

He said Irish men and women contributed just as much as those from the UK.

He also added that he will gladly come south of the border more often if organisations are prepared to invite him.
