The DUP leader has branded Sinn Féin’s White House boycott as “reckless” as the party confirmed its Stormont deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly will attend St Patrick’s events in Washington DC if invited.

Gavin Robinson questioned how Sinn Féin First Minister Michelle O’Neill’s decision to stay away from the US capital matched in with her oft-repeated pledge to be a ‘First Minister for all’.
