"Rishi Sunak Welcomes New Northern Ireland Leadership During Visit"

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak visits Northern Ireland to mark the return of power-sharing government, hailing it as a "special opportunity" for the region. The DUP ended its boycott over post-Brexit trade rules, leading to the restoration of devolved government. Sunak has pledged a £3.3bn package for the restored Northern Ireland Executive, with a focus on stabilizing public services and settling public sector pay disputes. He will meet with political leaders and carry out community engagements during his visit.

"UK Government's Final Financial Offer Revives Northern Ireland Executive"

Talks between the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the UK government regarding post-Brexit trading arrangements have ended, according to the Northern Ireland secretary. The DUP leader, however, stated that the party still had concerns and that talks would continue. The announcement came alongside a £3.3bn financial package aimed at stabilizing the region's finances and encouraging the revival of the Stormont executive. The offer follows a week of talks about public finances, but the DUP's 22-month boycott of Stormont is expected to continue. Other party leaders expressed disappointment and urged the DUP to accept that trading arrangement talks had concluded.
