The Northern Ireland Deal
As the DUP agrees a deal to restore power-sharing, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's John Campbell considers how nearly two years without a government has impacted people living in Northern Ireland.
After hours of late-night talks, the green light has been given for Northern Ireland’s government to resume business.
The Democratic Unionist Party will lift its boycott of power-sharing at Stormont, where the Northern Ireland Assembly sits, after leader Sir Jeffery Donaldson announced his party's executive had agreed to proposals from the British government.
It was a dramatic late-night announcement after a meeting that lasted hours – and was plagued by security issues.
In this episode of our 5 Questions podcast, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Northern Ireland Economics Editor, John Campbell, considers how the deal was struck and what two years without a devolved government has meant for people living there.
