Tánaiste Simon Coveney will travel to the North tomorrow for talks with the region’s main political parties amid growing pressure for them to form a new coalition government in the aftermath of Lyra McKee’s murder.

The Government will be powerless to prevent a repeat of Saturday’s “repulsive” show-of-strength march by the New IRA-linked group embroiled in Lyra McKee’s killing unless it introduces new emergency laws.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has accused the people behind yesterday's Saoradh march past the GPO 36 hours after Lyra McKee's shooting as being "beneath contempt" and "an insult to the Irish people".

A small Republican march went ahead in Cork this afternoon despite criticism of the staging of a similar display in Dublin yesterday.
