The president of one of Northern Ireland’s most influential business bodies has called for the Executive to reform as soon as possible and end the current standoff.
Northern Ireland Chamber President Gillian McAuley told guests at the organisation's Annual President’s Lunch that politicians need to set aside their differences and focus on what they agree on, “rather than what divides them”.
She said a functioning Executive is vital for both the economy and society and promised the support of business if they return to governing.
