Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has appealed to the DUP to "for goodness sake work together" with her party at Stormont.
Ms McDonald said that "God knows there's plenty of work to be done" as she urged the DUP to end its boycott blocking Northern Ireland's power-sharing institutions.
Speaking in Newry at Sinn Féin's manifesto launch for the upcoming council election, she said the region "cannot stagger on indefinitely with no government".
