Move by Paul Givan would trigger resignation of deputy first minister and threaten future of Stormont government
Northern Ireland has been plunged into political crisis amid reports that the first minister, the DUP’s Paul Givan, is to resign over Brexit.
Such a move, reported by BBC Radio Ulster’s The Nolan Show, would threaten the future of the Stormont government and trigger the resignation of the deputy first minister, Michelle O’Neill, Sinn Féin’s leader in Northern Ireland. Neither leader can stay in power if the other quits.
