  Trimble and Mallon sanctioned DUP ministers over rotation plan - Minutes of an Executive meeting from 2000 show a warning that other action would be taken 'as appropriate' against the DUP ministers.

The article from MSN discusses a historical political event in Northern Ireland where David Trimble and Seamus Mallon, key figures in the peace process, sanctioned two DUP ministers, Peter Robinson and Nigel Dodds, in 2000. This action was taken because the ministers refused to rotate their positions as part of the power-sharing agreement established by the Good Friday Agreement. The rotation was intended to ensure fair representation and cooperation between unionists and nationalists in the Northern Ireland Executive. The sanctions were a significant moment, highlighting the tensions and challenges in implementing the peace accord, particularly around the issue of power-sharing and the inclusion of all parties in the governance of Northern Ireland.
