Belfast

Sue and I flew to Belfast yesterday and have spent today in a series of meetings with various people engaged in political and public life in Northern Ireland.

Our first visit yeaterday was to Stormont, the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly. We had a private meeting with the First Minister Peter Robinson who then took us on a tour of the building.

In the afternoon we had meetings with an SDLP Candidate from the European Elections, a security expert, the Conservatives Area Campaign Director and an officer from the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
