The Rev Ian Paisley may have face-to-face talks with the Archbishop of Armagh Dr Seán Brady according to the DUP's Gregory Campbell.
Mr Campbell wrote to the Archbishop after Dr Brady called for Unionist assurances on a commitment to power sharing and equality during an address in Milan last month.
Mr Campbell said today: "I had a meeting with Mr Paisley this morning and he is happy to have a meeting, as we have done in the past, with political and religious leaders.
"The only people we don't have meetings with are Sinn Féin because of their attitude to violence."
