NI Secretary: all conditions in place to restore power-sharing
NI Secretary: all conditions in place to restore power-sharing
“All the conditions are now in place” for the return of the Northern Ireland Assembly and executive, the UK’s Secretary of State for Northern Ireland says.
Chris Heaton-Harris’s comments follow an announcement in the early hours of Tuesday from the Democratic Unionist Party.
Heaton-Harris says hopes to finalise the deal “as soon as possible” – with details published tomorrow.
The breakthrough came after a dramatic, hours-long meeting of the DUP’s executive that was plagued by security issues, with a protest taking place outside.
The DUP started boycotting NI’s devolved power-sharing government nearly two years ago in protest against trade arrangements after the UK left the EU.
“What has changed has been, I guess, an understanding on my part of the needs of unionism in Northern Ireland, and on the UK government’s part,” he said.
