Speaking in New York where he was addressing a conference on Brexit, Mr Flanagan told The Irish Times that now is the time for the DUP to show leadership. “It’s important that the DUP shows clear leadership in Northern Ireland which has been sadly lacking over the past number of years,” he said. “It’s over two years since the people voted, and there are no institutions functioning in Northern Ireland. He said the impact of Brexit could have an extremely negative effect on Northern Ireland.
