In the North, the leader of the DUP insists he has the full support of his party.
It comes as talks with the UK Government on the Windsor Framework appear to be drawing to a conclusion.
The party is coming under increasing pressure to return to Stormont - with Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill saying the next weeks will be "critical" in efforts to restore the Assembly.
DUP Leader Jeffrey Donaldson says there are no voices of dissent within his party:
"We are waiting to hear back from the government. As to the timescale, I would expect it within the next couple of weeks. We will get further proposals from the government. They are clear about what we need. We've spelled that out to them - that's been based on the approach unanimously agreed by our party officer team and that remains our position".
