Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness, who took opposite sides in the British referendum on the EU, have adopted a unified approach post-Brexit in “seeking to achieve the best possible outcome for all our people”.
The DUP First Minister and Sinn Féin Deputy First Minister have jointly written to prime minister Theresa May to say they were reassured by her commitment that they “will be fully involved and represented in the negotiations on the terms of our future relationships with the EU and other countries”.
