The DUP and British Government must accept and respect the democratic result of the Northern Ireland Assembly elections, Sinn Féin vice president Michelle O’Neill has said.
Ms O’Neill said there could be no delay to the restoration of the Stormont powersharing Executive and her nomination as first minister, following her party’s election victory.
But DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has stated that he will not re-enter the Executive without "decisive action" from the UK Government on the Northern Ireland Protocol.
