🖊️ UK Gov’s commitment to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement is the foundation for everything we do in Northern Ireland. Great to meet with @HocGfa and share views on protecting the Agreement including establishing the stability needed to ensure NI continues to prosper.

✔️ The US Administration is committed to the success of Northern Ireland and agree the route to this is through a secure devolved government. I updated @CounselorDOS on this issue and other shared priorities during our meeting in Washington D.C.

RT @SteveBakerHW: In the absence of a functioning Executive, the government has stepped in to ensure the safe delivery of public services.
I am disappointed we are in this position but we have been left with no alternative. These decisions should have been taken by NI Ministers in an NI Executive.

RT @SteveBakerHW: 📈 Northern Ireland receives more funding per head than the UK average and has received record levels of financial support.

💪 But a strong and responsible devolved government is needed to deliver for the people of Northern Ireland.

RT @SteveBakerHW: ✅ This budget prioritises health & education, with an overarching objective of protecting the most vulnerable.

💪 But the best solution for public services is a strong devolved government taking strategic decisions to reform public services & deliver sustainable finances.

Difficult decisions are required in difficult circumstances & with no Executive in place, I’ve had no choice but to step in. This should be the responsibility of NI ministers and I will continue to urge the Northern Ireland parties to come back to the Executive to put this right

1/Valuable conversations with Tánaiste @MichealMartinTD today in Northern Ireland. We discussed key issues including the need for an Executive to be formed as soon as possible, legislation on the legacy of the Troubles, and the Northern Ireland Protocol.

A negotiated solution to the Protocol is clearly desired by all. Today I welcomed Foreign Sec @JamesCleverly to NI. Productive meeting in Belfast hearing how the Protocol’s issues impact on people & business. Best thing for NI is for their elected politicians to get back to work.
