Stormont talks to restore power-sharing

Prime Minister Theresa May has met with the leaders of the DUP and Sinn Féin in an attempt to revive efforts to get Stormont up and running.

An emergency move to ensure funding for vital public services in NI does not run out has cleared its final parliamentary hurdle.

Prime Minister Theresa May has urged the DUP and Sinn Féin to “bridge the gaps” on outstanding issues fuelling NI's political stalemate.

Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire has stayed in Belfast to provide an update on the state of powersharing talks.

Secretary of State James Brokenshire is expected to update Parliament on Wednesday about the ongoing political stalemate in NI.

Sinn Féin's Conor Murphy says talks at Stormont have entered a key phase as the UK and Irish governments arrive in the hope of progress.

The Secretary of State has given NI’s political leaders another 24 hours before he decides his next move, amid the ongoing Stormont impasse.

The DUP has dismissed the notion an agreement to restore power-sharing in Northern Ireland is imminent, despite optimism at Westminster.

The NIO has said it is determined to see power-sharing restored, responding to a call from the DUP’s Sammy Wilson to end the “sham” process.

Secretary of State James Brokenshire has confirmed a new round of talks to try and save power-sharing at Stormont will commence next week.
