Arlene Foster tells Sinn Féin to 'get serious' about powersharing

Democratic Unionist leader Arlene Foster has warned Sinn Féin to "get serious" about the terms of a deal to restore Stormont powersharing, accusing republicans of using rights issues as a cloak to break unionism.

Mrs Foster told her party conference in Belfast she was committed to resurrecting devolution, eleven months on from its collapse, but she insisted any agreement between the DUP and Sinn Fein had to be balanced.
