The next generation of Northern Ireland depends on the outcome of any deal struck between the UK and the EU in the coming days on the Northern Ireland Protocol, the DUP leader has said.
In a weekend message to party members, seen by the PA news agency, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said now is the time for "Brussels to stretch itself" to restore political stability in Northern Ireland.
There is mounting speculation that the UK and EU could unveil a deal aimed at breaking the impasse over the contentious post-Brexit trading arrangements early next week.
