First Minister Michelle O’Neill said on Sunday: ‘Now more than ever, what we need to see is cohesion.’
Northern Ireland’s political parties have been praised by the UK and Irish governments for emphasising the need for stability following the shock resignation of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson.
“Our collective priority now is around cohesion, it’s around leadership, it’s around working together and it’s around making politics work for today, tomorrow and into the future.” Further Education Minister Simon Harris, who is expected to be voted in as Irish premier in a few days’ time, also praised Ms O’Neill and Ms Little-Pengelly for putting “the people’s business to the fore”.
“I very much welcome the comments of the First Minister and the deputy First Minister in recent days in relation to ensuring that the people’s business remains to the fore of all their minds.” “I think all the leaders up north and all the parties have an obligation, in my mind, to provide that now.” Ms Little-Pengelly, who was Sir Jeffrey’s choice as the DUP nominee for deputy First Minister, said she was “devastated” at the disclosures.However, she said her focus was on providing stability and delivering for the people.
