What a New Power-sharing Deal Means for Northern Ireland | DW News

Feb 5, 2024 | UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is visiting Northern Ireland to mark the return of power sharing between the province's pro-Irish and pro-British political parties. He's met with First Minister Michelle O'Neill from the nationalist Sinn Fein party and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly from the pro-British Democratic Unionists, the DUP. The DUP ended a two-year boycott of the province's power sharing assembly last week after accepting a deal involving changes to post-Brexit rules affecting Northern Ireland's agreement with the European Union.
