Northern Ireland could see the end of devolution because of Sinn Féin's links to the IRA.

That's according to the deputy leader of the Democratic Unionist Party Nigel Dodds, who was reacting to news that the Ulster Unionist Party may pull out of the power-sharing government in the North.

It's after the PSNI linked the murder of ex-IRA member Kevin McGuigan to members of the provisional IRA.

Last night Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan said she had no reason to believe that the PIRA were militarily active.

But Nigel Dodds says that Sinn Féin's IRA connections threaten the future of politics in the North.
