Adams to nominate Paisley for first minister

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams is to nominate DUP leader Ian Paisley for the position of Northern Ireland's first minister when the assembly returns.
He has also confirmed party colleague Martin McGuinness will be put forward as deputy first minister.
Mr Adams said Sinn Fein would take part in a business committee at the assembly to ensure the election of ministers.
However, Mr Paisley said until Sinn Fein "met its obligations" there would be no first or deputy first minister.
"I have very good news for Mr Adams - he can't do it," Mr Paisley said.
"There'll be no proposing of anybody who doesn't accept it and I certainly will not be accepting anything from Gerry Adams."

It would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact that the country is going to wreck and ruin while the rest of us wait for them to do the job they've been paid to do.
