The prime ministers of Britain and Ireland will hold a two-day summit next week with Northern Ireland political leaders amid signs that Britain is growing increasingly impatient with the Irish Republican Army’s refusal to disarm.

Britain’s Northern Ireland secretary, John Reid, said it was hoped that a change of venue would help “recapture the vision that was in the Good Friday agreement” of 1998.
