Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill has said there must be no more “false dawns” over an Irish Language Act and insisted the legislation should be brought forward in the current Assembly term.

During Executive Office questions at Stormont, Ms O’Neill also insisted her party was committed to power-sharing when she was asked if Sinn Féin might refuse to re-nominate a deputy first minister unless the legislation was progressed.
