Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the resignation of now-former DUP leader Edwin Poots means politicians, North and South, must work collectively on the island, towards maintaining stability at what he called this “turbulent” time.

Mr Martin said Mr Poots’ resignation does not necessarily need to mean the collapse of the Assembly and fresh elections.
