SINN FÉIN LEADER Mary Lou McDonald has said that there is “absolutely no excuse” for the DUP to continue to block the Northern Ireland Assembly after an updated Brexit deal was reached between the EU and UK.
The deal, known as the Windsor Framework, was agreed at the end of February by both the UK and EU as part of efforts to resolve tensions over the Northern Ireland Protocol – which sparked the DUP’s blockade of Stormont in early 2022.McDonald added that she understood that the DUP needed time to reflect on the deal, but said that it was not reasonable to further delay the establishment of both the Assembly and an Executive.
“We believe that Dublin, the Government here needs to bring a sense of pace, a sense of urgency and purpose too that.
