The Forum for Peace and Reconciliation is due to meet again on March 15th following a four week suspension because IRA bombing of Canary Wharf.

The chairwoman of the Forum Judge Catherine McGuinness, said yesterday that all parties, including Sinn Fein, had agreed to the suspension. The forum would continue to be "a safe place and neutral SC" where parties could meet.

Its suspension was "the one course to take" and was the result of full consultations between all the parties, said's Judge McGuinness. "The bomb in London total shocked and horrified the members of the forum so it would have been very difficult to meet."
