Robert talks to David Davin-Power, Northern editor for RTE in Belfast, about why John Hume, leader of Ireland's SDLP Party, spoke out against the IRA's refusal to declare another ceasefire in Northern Ireland. Hume was one of the politicians who first initiated peace talks with Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, before the 1994 ceasefire. He feels Sinn Fein's lack of cooperation shows they are not committed to peace in the region.
