Former Irish premier Bertie Ahern has urged the DUP to reach a compromise to restore Stormont powersharing as he praised Rishi Sunak's efforts to break the impasse over post-Brexit trade.The former Taoiseach commended Mr Sunak's attempts to secure a return to devolution as he said Ireland had experienced "great difficulty" in its dealings with Boris Johnson during the Brexit process.
While the DUP says the Windsor Framework has gone some way to address its concerns about the protocol, it says some significant problems remain. Mr Ahern said the Windsor Framework "nearly solves" the issues standing in the way of a return to powersharing.The former Fianna Fail leader contrasted Mr Sunak's approach with that taken by Mr Johnson.
"Quite frankly, I don't think we would have had the institutions in Northern Ireland down on and off for the last six or seven years if it hadn't been for Brexit and it's caused us untold difficulties and problems.
