Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill has said she would like to see the Stormont Executive publish its plans for emerging from Covid-19 related restrictions on Thursday.
The power-sharing body started its discussions yesterday about how it might ease some of the emergency provisions. Ms O'Neill said the virus should be tackled on an all-island basis and she wanted to see alignment with measures published by the Irish Government last week.
The disease, the Sinn Fein deputy leader added, is moving across Ireland in the same way. She was speaking at the Bloc Blinds factory in Magherafelt, Co Derry, where staff are manufacturing personal protective equipment for health workers.
