The Taoiseach says trust in politics has been damaged by the DUP's actions over the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Earlier this week, Paul Givan stepped down as First Minister, while DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has warned they won't return to Stormont if issues aren't addressed.
Aontú Leader Peadar Tóibín says the party's actions show how the political system in the north isn't working:
"I think that the DUP resignation is a serious case of political self-harm. Strategically, if the union between Britain and the North is to last, the DUP has to show that the North of Ireland works, but time and time again the DUP proves that the North, as a political entity, is not working. The majority of people in the North of Ireland voted stay within the EU."
