Ministers Set To Attend Talks In Scotland

The First and Deputy First Minister are due to meet with their Scottish and Welsh counterparts for talks in Edinburgh today.

Peter Robinson, Martin McGuinness and First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones will attend the meeting at Bute House, which is being hosted by Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond and Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

It is the first time that the heads of the devolved governments will have met since the elections earlier this month.

It is thought that topics on today's agenda will include the issue of lowering corporation tax in Northern Ireland.
