Irish and British governments should commit to action - McDonald
Speaking in Dublin, Ms McDonald said: "The current situation of [political] stalement is unacceptable. It's simply intolerable at this point. So something has to happen."
However, Ms McDonald asserted that the governments had "raised the stakes" by calling the talks and had obligations if they failed: "The two governments cannot throw up their hands and walk away. The two governments, at that stage, have to do the lifting because these issues have to be resolved." She described the political backdrop to the talks, with elections in Northern Ireland and the Republic, as "a challenging time" but asserted that politicians "cannot stand still."
