Sinn Féin rejects Arlene Foster’s last-ditch offer to prevent elections
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald rejected a late offer of talks and an immediate inquiry into the matter from Ms Foster last night, insisting an election is “inevitable” unless she also steps aside.
As Taoiseach Enda Kenny and UK prime minister Theresa May held direct talks in a bid to prevent the complete breakdown of the North’s power-sharing government, Ms Foster made a last-ditch offer to Sinn Féin to prevent what she warned would be a “bruising” election.
