TIME is of the essence to resurrect the Stormont Assembly and seize economic opportunities, Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald said today.

Ms McDonald was speaking as the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) continued to consider the deal struck between Britain and the EU to address unionist concerns around Brexit’s Northern Ireland Protocol.

The DUP has said that it will consider the Windsor Framework, with no timescale yet given on when it may decide to go back into the Assembly.
