DUP 'to spread devolution gospel'

Peter Robinson has said he wants his new DUP ministers to get out and "spread the gospel of devolution".

The DUP leader was speaking as his reshuffled cabinet took part in their first executive meeting on Thursday.

Mr Robinson said the executive should not be allowed to be brought down by "wreckers" either through violence or politics.

He said his new ministerial team would remain in place until the next assembly elections.

The first minister again declined to give any timetable for the devolution of justice but said the parties were "leading to the situation where it's clear we could identify who the future justice minister might be".
