Northern Ireland's first minister and DUP leader, Peter Robinson, has launched a fresh attack on Sinn Féin, his party's main partner in government.
Addressing a meeting in Co Tyrone last night, Mr Robinson accused Sinn Féin of destructive and self-seeking tactics at Stormont.
The Northern Ireland power-sharing executive has not met for several months because of tension between the parties.
Progress has stalled on Sinn Féin policy priorities such as an Irish language act and the transfer of responsibility for justice and policing powers from Westminster to Stormont.
