Blair meeting rival Northern Ireland leaders to discuss peace

British Prime Minister Tony Blair scheduled separate meetings Thursday with Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley, the leaders of Northern Ireland's two major rival parties, in hopes of building on the Irish Republican Army's week-old peace declaration, AP reported.

Blair was meeting first with Paisley, whose Democratic Unionist Party represents most of the province' British Protestant majority - and has denounced Britain's decision to launch a wave of military cutbacks in immediate response to the IRA peace. Adams then was to lead a delegation from his IRA-linked Sinn Fein party to Blair's Downing Street office.

Last Thursday, the IRA declared it had made its 1997 cease-fire permanent and promised to resume disarming soon. Britain on Monday published a plan for slashing its 11,000-strong garrison in Northern Ireland to 5,000 within the next two years - and drew particular Protestant anger by announcing that three locally recruited, overwhelmingly Protestant army battalions would be disbanded.

Blair is hoping eventually to persuade Paisley's party to form a power-sharing administration in Northern Ireland alongside Sinn Fein, but Paisley says his party is unlikely even to talk directly to Sinn Fein, much less share a Cabinet table.

A cross-community administration was the central goal of Northern Ireland's 1998 peace accord, but a moderate-led coalition fell apart in 2002 after suffering repeated breakdowns over IRA activities. Since then, voters have switched majority support to the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein, giving those two parties veto power over any revival of power-sharing.
