Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I will be very brief. I welcome what the Tánaiste said about how following elections we should have a parliament and the formation of an executive. We would all like to see the DUP get into government as quickly as possible. My fear is around how we avoid drift. What does the Government intend to do on that? The council elections are imminent and the North is now facing serious Tory cuts. Some of this could be alleviated by the Executive being up and running. We are afraid of this drifting into the summer and the marching season and there are fears nothing will happen at that point.
