Another good meeting with @chhcalling this morning. We will stay in close touch and continue to call for the restoration of an Executive in NI before 28th Oct. to avoid a new election.
RT @chhcalling: Minister @simoncoveney and I agree that the best outcome for Northern Ireland is for the Parties to restore the Executive and avoid a winter election.
But, if no Executive is formed by 28th October, I am required by law to call one…

What continues to happen in #Ethiopia is shocking, the violence, the loss of life.
The International Community must work harder with the African Union to bring about a cease fire, a credible talks process, humanitarian access to the regions in need! @dfatirl @irishmissionun
RT @antonioguterres: The situation in Ethiopia is spiraling out of control.
The social fabric is being ripped apart & civilians are paying a horrific price.
