Arlene Foster: UK departure paves way for new opportunities
In a bid to stem concerns raised in the Stormont Assembly, Arlene Foster vowed to “work for the good of all the people” in any forthcoming negotiations. “I absolutely fundamentally believe that this vote gives us the opportunity for ambition, for innovation, for flexibility, and for imagination.”
Of the five largest parties at Stormont, only Ms Foster’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) advocated leaving the EU. She faced repeated questions from MLAs about how she would reconcile her party political views with the 56% of voters who voted Remain.
