David Trimble has the authority as First Minister. He is bound to the Agreement and needs to use the time frame and the chronology to implement the Agreement. The pace should not be set by those against change, but should be set by the two governments and the rest of us who are pledged to make the Agreement work.
Gerry Adams after his meeting with David Trimble last week at Stormont.
He said this week that, in the Agreement, there is ``an obligation'' on Sinn Féin to begin decommissioning now. He insisted that he is not setting preconditions before moving forward with the appointment of Ministers, but that the Agreement calls for what he is advocating. The man is lying through his teeth. the Agreement calls for no such thing. The wording is quite clear and unambiguous.

The small minority who have been creaming off huge profits in areas like housing should pay more towards the cost of running this country after this budget.
ICTU Secretary Peter Cassells on the ICTU's plans for a three-tier tax system in the 26-County December Budget.
The struggle to sustain a life of human dignity and worth demands almost impossible courage. Such situations quickly become the breeding ground for drug barons and gangs that rule by force. The victims are lost in a nether world of addiction and lost hopes. Far from the city streets, another poverty grows in the green fields of small farmers, and not so small also. The landscape may be different, but the inability to live decently, to have enough to survive the cost of living today, to ensure a viable future for children, is equally dispiriting.
Fr Pat O'Brien writing in Ireland On Sunday. 4 October.
Yes, 1968 was a watershed in terms of ending unionist domination of politics in the North. That generation, those who got off their knees would in years to come, in the words of one civil rights song ``sow the seeds of freedom in their daughters and their sons''. Things would never be the same again.
Mary Nelis writing in the Irish News on the 30th anniversary of the civil rights march in Derry. Monday 5 October.
I am very glad that things from the South can be slain in Northern Ireland...
Ian Paisley in the Assembly talking about `imported' pigs from the 26 Counties. His remarks drew laughter from the Unionist benches.
Housing issues were at the heart of the civil rights campaign when it was launched... The Housing Council has only nominated one nationalist to serve on the board in its 25-year history, and it has now reverted to a firm `unionists only' policy. The Housing Council certainly cannot be allowed to continue insulting its nationalist members year after year. If it is not prepared to act in a fair and impartial way, then it deserves to be abolished.
Editorial in the Irish News on the Housing Executive's `advisory body', the Housing Council, still a unionist dominated body 30 years after the start of the civil rights campaign. Wednesday 7 October.
