The Nolan Show: Call to get Stormont running again

Call to get Stormont running again

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Call to get Stormont running again

Arlene Foster says the limbo of decision-making in NI can no longer be ignored. 

Arlene Foster says the limbo of decision-making in Northern Ireland can no longer be ignored. 

All of the main political parties here are agreed on one thing: there should be a functioning Executive at Stormont.

But there isn't - and there hasn't been for a year and half.

The DUP leader Arlene Foster says action must be taken at Westminster to end the "limbo" of decision making.

And the Labour peer, Lord Adonis, has called on the Prime Minister to urgently appoint a George Mitchell-style mediator to try and end the deadlock.

Stormont Civil servants have opted not to appeal a recent court judgement which said they do not have the authority to take decisions normally made by ministers.

So who's in charge of Northern Ireland? And how will anything get done?

Also on the programme, Gary Lineker is under fire for backing a second Brexit referendum. But should he keep his political views to himself? And, Belfast City Council to look at once a month bin collections to meet recycling targets.
