Northern Ireland institutions

Summary

Peadar Tóibín said the DUP boycott was harming public services and democracy in Northern Ireland and sought a debate on the situation.

We have a situation where the democratic rights of the people of the North of Ireland have been deleted by the DUP. The boycott of the institutions is doing tremendous damage to citizens right across the political spectrum. The economy, healthcare, housing and even the environment are under significant stress in the North for the lack of a properly functioning Executive. A rump of DUP MPs are now holding up the whole system in the North of Ireland. We need a debate on this issue because the Government is standing idly by while this is happening just 100 miles from here.
