UUP to vote against Northern Ireland justice deal
 Sir Reg Empey's UUP will not back the vote |
The Ulster Unionist executive has endorsed the party's decision to vote against the devolution of policing and justice powers to Northern Ireland.
The assembly is to vote on whether the powers should be devolved on Tuesday.
Earlier on Monday, the UUP accused Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward of political and emotional blackmail ahead of Tuesday's vote.
Danny Kennedy said he had linked the vote to the anniversary of the murder of Constable Stephen Carroll.
The vote takes place exactly a year after the police officer was murdered by the Continuity IRA in Craigavon.
Mr Woodward said transferring justice powers on Tuesday would send an important message to those responsible for his death and dissident republicans in general.
Bur Mr Kennedy, the UUP's deputy leader, said the secretary of state was guilty of "political and emotional blackmail" and called on him to consider his position.
 Ian Paisley is stepping down as MP for North Antrim |
The UUP has been refusing to endorse the Hillsborough Agreement, insisting that matters such as education, parading and "the dysfunctional nature of the current executive" must be addressed.
On Monday night, former DUP leader Ian Paisley said the UUP would be making a "colossal mistake" by not backing the deal.
Mr Paisley was speaking to DUP members in Ballymena as he announced his retirement as MP for north Antrim.
The DUP selected his son, Ian Jnr, as its candidate in the forthcoming Westminster election at the same meeting.
It also suggested that 70% of unionists favour Northern Ireland politicians being in charge of policing issues, compared to 83% of nationalists.

Device fired at police station
Saturday, 27 February 2010
An explosive device has been fired at a police station in Craigavon, Co Armagh.
It did not hit the station at Craigavon, Co Armagh, and there were no reports of injuries, police said.
Last March, dissident republicans shot dead a policeman not far from the site of the attack and there has been an upsurge in paramilitary activity in recent weeks.
A nearby road was closed due to the separate discovery of a suspicious object.
The police station is in the Brownlow area of Craigavon, a sprawling urban centre of housing estates and roundabouts.
Pc Stephen Carroll was shot dead by the Continuity IRA in Craigavon last March.
Kieran Doherty, 31, was bound and shot by the Real IRA in Londonderry on Wednesday night. He had served time in prison in the Republic as a Real IRA member and his family claimed he had rebuffed MI5 attempts to recruit him.
On Monday night a 250lb car bomb caused damage to the wall and security hut at Newry courthouse, Co Down.

The war is over chapter 2
The Official IRA declare ceasefire in the 1972. In 2009 they declare decommissioning as the INLA.
Gordon Brown claimed that all the paramilitary groups in Ireland are over and he takes the credit for that.
He also thanks a lot of people involved in the peace process, like George Bush, Clinton and Tony Blair.
