Talks to restore Northern Ireland's Assembly look likely to begin tomorrow following Friday's general election in Britain. .
Stormont has been in cold storage for more than 1,000 days due to a stand-off between Sinn Féin and the DUP on issues such as Irish language legislation and a ban on same-sex marriage. Likewise, Sinn Féin lost its seat in Foyle to the SDLP by a huge majority, in what is being seen as resurgence in support for Colum Eastwood's party. Good calls with all five party leaders this morning. Look forward to starting positive process tomorrow to get Stormont back up and running pic.twitter.com/O2qPXcfoqE
Sinn Féin TD Martin Kenny appeared on RTÉ's The Week in Politics today, saying his party "absolutely wants to be back in Stormont" in January. Mr Coveney said he thinks an all-party Executive would be the best option for Northern Ireland that could put an end to the polarisation of the last three years.
"We need even to get basic political decisions made around housing, healthcare, education - all the things that have been put on hold."
How can anyone get out of a mess like this? Well the answer is simple the R.O.I should rejoin the U.K. The Westminster government would offer us devolution, let’s face it that’s as much sovereignty as we have staying in the E.U. 🇮🇪🇬🇧
