Cameron to meet McCartney family IRA 'must become old boys group'
(about 5 hours later)
Conservative leader David Cameron is expected in Northern Ireland later, his second visit within a year. Conservative leader David Cameron said he wants the IRA to become an "old boys association".
He is due to meet PSNI representatives and the Institute of Directors. Mr Cameron, who is on a visit to Northern Ireland, said he would prefer if "the IRA went away".
However, most attention will focus on a private meeting with the sisters of murdered Belfast man Robert McCartney who are continuing a fight for justice. However, he said it "would be acceptable if they eventually became an old boys organisation".
During the Troubles, the IRA killed several Tory politicians and came close to killing Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher in Brighton in 1984.
Mr Cameron, on his second visit within a year, was speaking during a visit to the PSNI training college.
He went on to warn that Sinn Fein must not only join the Northern Ireland Policing Board but "must work fully with the PSNI".
