    From the bbc : Proposal briefings for parties

    The DUP has briefed party members about the latest proposals to break the political deadlock and the Sinn Fein leadership is expected to do the same on Friday evening.
    The British and Irish Governments put their proposals to the DUP and Sinn Fein on Wednesday.

    While Sinn Fein and the DUP still have concerns, there is cautious optimism that a resolution is possible.

    After two years of stalemate, Stormont remains suspended, but signs are emerging that it could be back in business within months.

    The DUP assembly team gathered at Parliament Buildings on Friday morning to hear details of the plans drawn up by the governments in the UK and Ireland.

    The meeting ended after about two hours, but further briefings are to take place on Saturday.

    The party has shown some enthusiasm for the plans, but DUP leader Ian Paisley has warned there are issues which need to be resolved.

    He wants to know whether the IRA is truly committed to the plans outlined by the governments, including allowing clergy to witness decommissioning and providing other evidence of putting weapons beyond use.

    Sinn Fein's leadership also plans to consult with party members in meetings in Belfast and Dublin. The party's assembly team will be briefed on Friday evening.

    More meetings are expected in Downing Street in the next few days.

    Both Parties have the Agreements. Will an Agreement be finally reached?
