Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said he cannot confirm a report that the SDLP has officially ended its partnership with his party, Fianna Fail.
The Belfast Telegraph reported that the formal partnership between the two parties had been ended after three years.
The parties first announced a link-up in January 2019 when it was hailed by SDLP leader Colum Eastwood as the birth of a policy partnership which he said would build for a better future.
