Leaders hail deal to save Northern Ireland power-share agreement
Leaders from Britain, Ireland and Northern Ireland appeared together Friday to hail an agreement that saves the province's power-sharing government.
The leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) called it a "good day" for the province, and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it opened a "new chapter" for Northern Ireland.
"Let it be said in times to come that after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate, this is the day we secured the future, a lasting peace, power being where it should be -- in the hands of the people of Northern Ireland, the strongest answer to those who would bring violence back to our streets," Brown said.
