'God knows there's plenty of work to be done.'
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has appealed to the DUP to "for goodness sake work together" with her party at Stormont.
Last year Sinn Féin overtook the DUP to become the largest party at Stormont and is aiming to secure the same feat at local government level, standing 162 candidates across the 11 councils. Ms McDonald said many believe the DUP is failing to "respect" the outcome of the last election, in which Sinn Féin became entitled to hold Stormont's First Minister post.
She added: "People understandably will have limited patience with a politics that just does not respond to the immediate here and now. The cost-of-living crisis, the fact that people want leadership and need to see politics work. "So for me, this election is a huge opportunity again, for the public to re-endorse positive leadership, someone who's determined to try for a better future, someone who's going to fight back against Tory austerity, someone who’s going to work and make politics work."
