When Jeffrey Donaldson finished his "Champ" Breakfast in Manchester this morning, he headed straight to New York where he is attending a Cooperation Ireland dinner. Together with his counterpart as junior minister Gerry Kelly, he is accepting a "Peace Dove" award (so it's only in the Stormont Castle Executive room that our ministers can't meet).
Also flying out is Gerry Adams, who is meeting the New York officials behind the "Emerald Fund" announcement and attending Bill Clinton's "Global Initative".
I don't know if any of our politicians are hoping to bump into Senator John McCain. The Republican candidate, however, has been talking about Northern Ireland at an He pledges to appoint a Special Envoy and to do whatever he can to help us over the "last major hurdle" of the devolution of justice.
