Northern Ireland remains in political deadlock as negotiations to restore devolved government continue without resolution after 13 days. Talks between the major political parties of Northern Ireland - Sinn Féin, the DUP, SDLP, and UUP - are ongoing but have yet to result in an agreement to reconvene the power-sharing Executive and Assembly that collapsed in January 2017. The political impasse drags on with no immediate end in sight.
