UK PM Sunak Visits Restored Northern Ireland Executive

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has traveled to Northern Ireland to meet with the newly appointed leaders of the restored power-sharing Executive, Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill and the DUP's Emma Little-Pengelly. This marks the first time the devolved government has been fully functional in two years, with O'Neill making history as the first nationalist First Minister. The visit comes after the DUP ended its boycott of the Stormont institutions and months of negotiations over post-Brexit trading arrangements between the DUP and the UK government. Sunak is expected to discuss the future of Northern Ireland and meet with community members and emergency responders. The UK government has pledged £3.3 billion to stabilize finances.
