Said O'Connor today, "As we said at the weekend, we have exhausted every avenue to engage the government in dialogue, only for our efforts to be rejected. We understand the decision not to engage us was taken at Cabinet level and that Ms Harman's comments were a deliberate calculation to mislead the media and public.'

'What else can Fathers 4 Justice do in these circumstances other than to resume direct action.'
