Donaldson said his focus at the moment is on resolving the “major problems” that were created by the Northern Ireland Protocol. Alliance Party leader Naomi Long said she is concerned that the window to restore the powersharing institutions before a UK general election is closing.
“And I think its incumbent on the DUP now to step up and do the job they were elected to do,” Long added. Mr O’Toole said: “For the last few decades, this place has only made progress whenever the British and Irish governments have been operating together in order to bring focus to delivery and to making this place work.
DUP split Donaldson was also asked by reporters about an email sent to party members earlier this month.He had suggested in the message that briefings against the party were taking place, motivated by a desire to gain media coverage or advance a personal agenda. “It’s important that we good discipline, particularly at this time when our focus is on getting a solution that restores Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom.
