Sinn Fein attacks ‘lack of leadership’ as DUP rules out deal before Christmas
The Government has been urged to “call time” on its “endless negotiation” with the DUP after the unionist party ruled out a deal to revive Stormont before Christmas.
Sinn Fein MLA Conor Murphy criticised a “lack of leadership” from the DUP as it seems unlikely that powersharing institutions will be resurrected this year.
Earlier the DUP indicated the process of negotiations to restore the institutions at Stormont is not yet complete.
Representatives from the Northern Ireland political parties reconvened at Hillsborough Castle on Monday for more talks with the Government on a financial package for the region.
