DUP-Sinn Féin deal paves way for Northern Ireland power-sharing government to resume
• The pro-UK Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) announced a deal to end its 2-year boycott of Northern Ireland's power-sharing government.
• This paves the way for nationalist party Sinn Féin to potentially nominate the first minister for the first time.
• The DUP boycott was over post-Brexit trade rules they felt undermined NI's place in the UK.
• The new deal reportedly addresses the DUP's concerns around trade and EU law application.
• NI's devolved government could resume within days, with assembly members electing a speaker then nominating first and deputy first ministers.
