Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney said he is worried about political tensions in the North following the resignation of DUP leader Arlene Foster.

He said he is worried about many things when it came to the political landscape in the North but said he would work with any new leader of the DUP in an attempt to restore stability and respect.
