Tom Griffin (London, OK): The Northen Ireland Executive is set to meet for the first time in months on Thursday after the DUP and Sinn Féin agreed a way forward on the disputed issue of policing and justice today.
Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness have written to the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive Review Committee, stating that a Justice Minister will be appointed under interim arrangements that will last until 2012.
The planned process remains somewhat opaque, and there's a lively debate over on Slugger about who blinked first to allow the deal to happen.
