Voters in the North go to the polls on 2 March. Public confidence in the political institutions has been undermined by the DUP mishandling of the renewable heat incentive scheme scandal and allegations of corruption associated with the scheme. Recently, Arlene Foster said that the DUP will never accede to an Irish language Act. This is a corruption of the principles of the equality pillar enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement. It also violates the commitment explicitly stated and agreed in the internationally binding St. Andrews Agreement of 2006. The Government was at St. Andrews, as was Sinn Féin. Is the interpretation of the Government the same as that of Arlene Foster in respect of the Irish language Act?
