SF: DUP must respect our democratic mandate

Sinn Féin chairman Mitchell McLaughlin says the DUP must "respect Sinn Féin's mandate" and concentrate on agreeing a package that will quickly see the political institutions re-established in the North.

He was responding to an article by the DUP deputy leader Peter Robinson in yesterday's Irish Times in which he said the Sinn Féin electoral mandate did not make the party democratic.
