Stormont revived but real work begins now

Thursday was the third anniversary of Martin McGuinness’ decision to stand down as Northern Ireland’s Deputy First Minister and close that early chapter in the current, as yet unrealised, normalisation of that society, its relationships with its neighbours, and its neighbours’ relationship with it.
McGuinness died some weeks later, but his office, for today at least but maybe not for too long more, remains echoingly empty.
