DUP deliberations on the Windsor Framework will not be knocked off course by “rhetoric” and will instead be grounded in reality, party leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has insisted
He stated: “This party will always stand up for Northern Ireland. Our rationale is to look at the long term and build a better Northern Ireland for the next generation.
“Where improvements have been made, we will recognise progress and where questions remain, we will take the time to get clear answers. “People said it couldn’t be done, but this party has proved that it could. Brussels came back to the table and changes have been made,” he said. He added: “Those pro-protocol parties were more focused on the EU’s interests than they were on Northern Ireland’s interests.”
“So we would encourage everyone, but particularly the DUP, to make their decision now, and to give people what they want and what they need, which is government.
