SINN FEIN became the largest Northern Ireland party in the Westminster Parliament today, having already gained dominance at Stormont and at council level.

The landmark results of Thursday’s British general election gave the Irish republican party seven seats, the same number as it won in 2019.

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) secured five seats, down from eight, while the Social Democratic and Labour Party and the Alliance Party each remained with two seats.
