Deputy first minister calls for Dee Stitt to stand down from Charter NI

A stand-off between the UDA and the Government in NI - that's how the leader of the opposition Mike Nesbitt has described the situation around Dee Stitt. Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has called on Dee Stitt to stand down. First minister Arlene Foster remains silent after the deputy first minister's intervention. The Executive Office, tasked with issuing joint statements on behalf of FM and DFM, say they are saying nothing.

We got reaction from UUP leader Mike Nesbitt, TUV leader Jim Allister, Alliance's Stephen Farry, SDLP's Nichola Mallon, former Assistant Chief Constable Alan McQuillan and solicitor John McBurney.
