Speaking after Doug Beattie’s resignation as UUP leader, Michelle O’Neill said:
“I want to wish Doug Beattie and his family well as he announces today that he will step down as leader of the UUP.
“We have worked constructively since he became leader of his party, including during the restoration of the executive and institutions at the beginning of this year.
“I will continue this constructive approach with the new leader of the UUP when they take up post.
“Sinn Féin will continue to work together with all parties in the Executive and Assembly to ensure we deliver for all for our communities and our public services.”
