The Northern Ireland Deal
As the DUP agrees a deal to restore power-sharing, the Â鶹Éç's John Campbell considers how nearly two years without a government has impacted people living in Northern Ireland.
After hours of late-night talks, the green light has been given for Northern Ireland’s government to resume business.
The Democratic Unionist Party will lift its boycott of power-sharing at Stormont, where the Northern Ireland Assembly sits, after leader Sir Jeffery Donaldson announced his party's executive had agreed to proposals from the British government.

In this episode of our 5 Questions podcast, the Â鶹Éç's Northern Ireland Economics Editor, John Campbell, considers how the deal was struck and what two years without a devolved government has meant for people living there.
