DUP will seek SF exclusion from Northern Ireland Executive

The DUP's Nigel Dodds has said others must live up to their responsibilities and that those who have done wrong "must be punished".

He was speaking hours after the Ulster Unionist Party's Mike Nesbitt said his party intended to leave the Northern Ireland Executive.

Mr Dodd's said that if Sinn Féin is not punished and other parties exclude it, then his party will take action "to protect the integrity of Northern Ireland".
