Sinn Fein welcomes the decision of Unionists to end its Stormont boycott
DUP

SINN FEIN welcomed the decision by Northern Ireland’s largest British unionist party late on Monday to end a boycott that left the region’s people without a power-sharing administration for two years.

After a marathon late-night meeting, Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Jeffrey Donaldson said today that the party’s executive had backed proposals to return to the government. 

He said that agreements reached with the Westminster government “provide a basis for our party to nominate members to the Northern Ireland Executive, thus seeing the restoration of the locally elected institutions.”
