Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill has hailed a “momentous” election result with her party becoming the largest in councils in Northern Ireland.
As the local government elections concluded just after midnight on Sunday, May 21, the republican party ended their election campaign with 144 seats, an increase of 39 from the last council election in 2019.
Ms O’Neill used the latest election victory to repeat her call for the DUP to return to the powersharing institutions at Stormont.
