Sinn Fein has again denied that Martin McGuinness’s resignation from Northern Ireland’s power sharing executive was due to illness.
Mr McGuinness has cited the First Minister Arlene Foster’s handling of a controversial energy scheme for his decision.
Health secretary Michelle O’Neill says it was purely about the political dispute with the DUP.
The DUP’s Jeffrey Donaldson today accused Sinn Fein of locking themselves ‘outside the room’ when it comes to addressing voter concerns on Brexit.
Meanwhile, local Sinn Fein TD Caoimhghín Ó’Caoláin says Arlene Foster has shown arrogance and an unwillingness to face up to her responsibilities in dealing with the ‘Cash for Ash’ scandal.
He spoke on today’s Joe Finnegan Show, and says that he believes an election in Northern Ireland is now unavoidable.
