.BillClinton pays tribute to John Hume and David Trimble who he says put their lives and careers on the line for the GoodFridayAgreement
Former US president Bill Clinton has paid tribute to John Hume and David Trimble as men "who put their lives and careers on the line" for peace.
He said Mr Hume and Mr Trimble "embodied wisdom we all like to believe we share but often, when the chips are down, cannot live by". He said her life "was a testament to the unlimited potential of the people of Northern Ireland and especially its rising generation"."And her death is a reminder that there are few permanent victories in politics or life and if we believe something we need to be willing to stand for it as long as we draw breath."
He said he expected the barriers to re-establishing the executive would be removed in the "not too distant future".
