Head of Stormont after deal by DUP

MICHELLE O'Neill is set to become Northern Ireland's first nationalist First Minister after the DUP agreed to return to Stormont.

The Democratic Unionist Party had blocked a power-sharing government for almost two years in a bitter dispute over post-Brexit trade barriers.

But after late talks on Monday night, DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said it would end its boycott following an agreement with the UK Government.
