LOYALISTS linked to the UDA have asked that their ex-prisoners be allowed visas for the US in recognition of the decommissioning of guns.
The Ulster Political Research Group (UPRG) said a delegation met members of the US Congress in Dublin yesterday.
Last night the UPRG said it had held the meeting for several reasons, including to request that ex-prisoners be able to access visas.
A statement read: “This would be an appropriate way for the US government to recognise the significance of loyalist decommissioning.”
A UPRG spokesman said the meeting was “very productive and positive”.
