"Northern Ireland's Two-Year Government Hiatus Ends as Power-Sharing Returns"
TL;DR
The leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) expressed optimism that the regional power-sharing government could be restored within days, following the party's endorsement of proposals agreed with London on the operation of post-Brexit trade rules. The deal, which includes a financial package and legislation affirming Northern Ireland's place within the UK, aims to win over the DUP and restore the government, a key part of a 1998 agreement to end sectarian violence. All sides are eager to move quickly before critics undermine the proposals, with the UK government expected to publish legislation as soon as Wednesday.
