Went out for a meal tonight in France. Vaccine passport checked, took seconds. Everyone wears masks in shops. Their Covid rate is a sixth of that in NI. It’s no mystery why

Historians may look back and conclude that the DUP have thrown away the best and perhaps last chance to make NI prosperous in its history. Prosperity brings stability. But no, symbolism and fear of extremists made them toss away an opportunity Scotland and Wales dream of.

You have to admit the DUP are political geniuses. They are about to cause an election where they will lose their £1 bn bribe, their leverage and maybe get Corbyn, a ILA, Abortion Act, an equal marriage Act or even a border poll. Outstanding!!! Ineptitude like that is truly rare

Some perspective. This is an area has been very difficult for the police and it has experienced little normal policing in 55 years. Were the officers over exhuberent? Probably, but they have maybe advanced police community relations more in 5 minutes than others have 50 years
An internal investigation is launched after videos on social media show police cars taking part in the All-Ireland celebrations.
The DUP met with senior police today to discuss the matter.
We'll have a full report on UTV Live at 6pm
