Sinn Féin has launched another attempt to recall the Stormont Assembly to elect a speaker and restore the powersharing institutions.

The party’s vice president, Michelle O’Neill, lodged a recall petition with the speaker’s office on Friday calling for an executive to be formed to deal with the cost-of-living crisis.
