Tánaiste hopes talks will facilitate reestablishment of Stormont executive
The Tánaiste said he hopes talks with the Northern Secretary of State today will produce a structure to facilitate the re-establishment of a functioning executive in Stormont.
Speaking at an Irish Examiner breakfast briefing in Cork this morning before his journey to Belfast, Simon Coveney said he hoped the tragedy in Derry last week, when journalist Lyra McKee was shot dead by dissident republicans, will be part of the catalyst needed to allow for a new beginning in politics in Ireland.
