TL;DR Summary

Northern Ireland's devolved government is set to be restored after a two-year hiatus, with a meeting at Stormont on Saturday to revive power-sharing institutions. The first minister role will be held by an Irish nationalist for the first time, and Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill is set to take up the role. The DUP's return to Stormont follows a deal with the UK government addressing unionist concerns over Northern Ireland's place within the UK internal market. The return of the Stormont executive will also see a £3.3bn package released by the UK Treasury to support struggling public services in Northern Ireland.
