A party source said they expect to collect the required 30 MLA signatures that would see the Assembly recalled next week.

Sinn Fein has launched another attempt to recall the Stormont Assembly to elect a speaker and restore the powersharing institutions.

The motion states: “That this Assembly expresses deep concern that struggling families and households have not received the £600 payment that many are desperately relying on, calls on the DUP to end its boycott of the Assembly and supports the immediate appointment of an executive to provide urgent help for those struggling with the cost-of-living crisis through the winter months.”

The DUP boycott is part of a campaign of opposition to Brexit’s Northern Ireland Protocol and it says it will not return to powersharing until decisive action is taken to remove the protocol’s economic barriers on trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Households in the region are due to be credited with a £400 payment automatically, to help with energy costs this winter as part of a UK-wide scheme.
