Image: Niall Carson THE DUP AND Sinn Féin are due to resume talks today aimed at resuming a power-sharing executive at Stormont, days after facing each other off in various close-knit races in the general election.
The talks have been confidential, but it’s widely understood that the disagreements are mainly over Sinn Féin calling for the establishment of an Irish Language Act, and for Arlene Foster to stand aside as First Minister of Northern Ireland over her role in ‘cash-for-ash’. MLAs have been getting paid £14.9 million since the Executive collapsed almost three years ago; their salaries have been partially cut to from nearly £50,000 to £35,888.
