Description

Press conference featuring Northern Ireland Secretary, Tom King, following his meeting with the Irish foreign and justice ministers at Stormont, Northern Ireland. He has told the ministers that he expects them to immediately review their extradition treaty with Britain following the decision by the Irish Government not to extradite alleged IRA sympathiser Father Patrick Ryan. King says the row has damaged relations, but should not mean the end of the Anglo-Irish Agreement. Reporter (not heard) identified as John Alcock.
