Nesbitt challenged on executive claims

Statement from Sinn Fein Assembly member for North Belfast Gerry Kelly accusing Dermot Nesbitt of `distorting the truth' after his claims on this mornings radio that the UUP are not opposed to an inclusive executive including Sinn Fein.

Mr. Kelly said:

``Dermot Nesbit's claims that the UUP are not opposed to an inclusive executive involving Sinn Fein are clearly a distortion of the truth. When people look behind the words of Dermot Nesbitt and examine the actions of the UUP it becomes clear that they have opposed the formation of an inclusive executive and sought the collapse of the institutions agreed under the Good Friday Agreement.''
