Direct exchanges in NI Assembly

From The BBC:
Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams and the DUP's Ian Paisley have had direct exchanges across the floor of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

The party leaders first debated the religious composition of the United Irishmen before moving onto wider political matters.

The debate was being held to discuss how proceedings on 24 November were handled by NI Secretary Peter Hain.

The motion had been tabled by Ulster Unionist leader Sir Reg Empey.
