North’s parties pressed to solve impasse

Tánaiste Simon Coveney will travel to the North tomorrow for talks with the region’s main political parties amid growing pressure for them to form a new coalition government in the aftermath of Lyra McKee’s murder.

Mr Coveney’s visit was confirmed as it separately emerged the Department of Justice is keeping the law governing paramilitary-style marches in the Republic “under continuing review” after Saoradh’s march in Dublin on Saturday and Cork on Sunday.
