Stormont ministers have called on the Irish Government to put an end to a long-running impasse over sharing data on passengers arriving on the island.

First Minister Arlene Foster and deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill both expressed frustration that repeated attempts to access the information from the authorities south of the border have ended in failure.
