List of possible replacements for McGuinness at the ready

A Sinn Féin TD has added further fuel to the belief Martin McGuinness has effectively retired from front-line politics by naming five senior figures who could step in to replace him as the party's leader in Stormont, writes Fiachra O Cionnaith.

Waterford TD David Cullinane made the comment as he insisted the crisis in Northern Ireland "was not engineered by Sinn Féin" and lashed out at the DUP for "arrogance" and failing to live up to the Good Friday agreement.
