"Public patience has now run out." - Michelle O'Neill

First Minister Designate Michelle O'Neill said on Thursday, "Everyone has been more than reasonable in giving space to the DUP.

"Public patience has now run out.

"The question for the DUP is are they prepared to accept the outcome of last May’s Assembly election and share power with others on an equal basis?

"I am determined to work for all our people as a First Minister for All, and support workers and families during these tough times."
