Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan To Join Stormont Talks

The Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan is joining talks at Stormont today, as the northern parties continue efforts to revive the power sharing executive.

The Northern Secretary James Brokenshire is also involved in today's negotiations.

Yesterday, Sinn Féin cut short a meeting with Mr Brokenshire, accusing him of "waffle".

The parties have less than three weeks to reach a deal, or the north could return to direct rule from London.

Sinn Féin say they won't work with the DUP leader Arlene Foster, but the former First Minister is refusing to step aside.
