The British and Irish governments must play an active role in helping to restore the Stormont Assembly, Sinn Fein MP John Finucane has said.
Mr Finucane was speaking after Sinn Fein made large gains in the Northern Ireland local government elections to emerge as the largest party.
But DUP MLA Jonathan Buckley said voters had endorsed his party’s position of keeping the powersharing institutions down until concerns about the Northern Ireland Protocol are addressed.
