Stormont to discuss motion calling for O'Neill apology

.

It is a Non-Statutory Motion, which means there is no requirement for a cross-community vote in the Assembly for it to be passed. Such a motion would have failed as Sinn Féin members would have blocked it. It acknowledges "the immense sacrifices that people, families and communities have made during the Covid-19 emergency and pays tribute to those who selflessly prioritised the need to keep each other safe above their own personal needs, particularly during times of trauma, loss and grief."

It calls on the Deputy First Minister and the Finance Minister "to apologise for their actions, which have caused immense hurt."
