Arlene Foster claims 'difficulty' delivering public health messages with Michelle O’Neill

Arlene Foster (pictured) halted her joint press conferences with Michelle O’Neill in the aftermath of the controversy around Ms O'Neill's attendance at the funeral of IRA veteran Bobby Storey on June 30.

Arlene Foster has indicated she will not deliver joint public health messages in the North with Michelle O’Neill until investigations into Bobby Storey’s funeral conclude.

However, the First Minister said she would be prepared to make joint announcements alongside the Deputy First Minister on other executive issues, such as plans for the North's economic recovery.
