Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern has said that if clarification can be offered on Windsor Framework to restore Northern Ireland’s powersharing institutions, it should be done.

“We saw the vote yesterday, we know what the DUP did,” he said, referring to the DUP’s vote against a key element of the Windsor Framework in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
