Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar visited Stormont to mark the return of power sharing in Northern Ireland, meeting with political leaders and discussing the new deal's impact on the region's place in the union. The executive has called for talks with the government on long-term funding stability to deliver public services, seeking a new funding model for long-term sustainability. The return of power-sharing came after months of negotiations involving the government and the DUP, Northern Ireland's largest unionist party, and culminated in the restoration of the power-sharing institutions on Saturday.
