DUP to withdraw from north/south political structures, says Donaldson

While Mr Donaldson said the DUP was withdrawing from north/south political bodies he said his party would seek to ensure continued cross-border co-operation on health issues.

DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has announced his party’s immediate withdrawal from north/south political structures established under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

The move is part of an intensification of the party’s campaign against Brexit’s Northern Ireland Protocol.
