The party executive backed a deal overnight following an agreement with the UK government on post-Brexit trading.

Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald says they'll now "engage with the parties and both governments to ensure" they "all press on without delay."

Party Leader Jeffrey Donaldson says the arrangement should see the Assembly restored by the February 8th deadline.

'We recognise that significant further advancements have been achieved through these negotiations.  This package, I believe, safeguards Northern Ireland 's place in the Union and will restore our place within the UK internal market.'
