In Northern Ireland, the future of the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement is in jeopardy following last week’s elections. One of the hard-line Protestant parties that opposed the agreement, the Democratic Unionist Party, won the elections. The party’s head Ian Ian Paisley has called for the renegotiation of the peace treaty. His son Ian Ian Paisley Jr. said the peace agreement was ”dead in the water.” Ian Paisley has also ruled out working with Sinn Fein, the political party which secured the most seats among the Catholic political parties.
