No deal expected on power sharing, says Gerry Adams

Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire will make a statement to the House of Commons outlining the British Government’s intentions, with no agreement likely ahead of today’s deadline.

It comes as Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams admitted a deal to restore powersharing is unlikely within the agreed timeframe.

Mr Adams said the door was still open but there had been no sense of urgency around piecing together an agreement.
