Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams also appealed to the DUP to play a leading role in ensuring that the marching season is peaceful.

"Sinn Fein will be in the Assembly on May 15th to try and bring about the return of the power sharing government. This is the business that the Assembly members were elected to do. The electorate has been waiting for almost three years for this to happen," Mr Adams said.

"Everyone knows that the coming months will be difficult. We are also facing into another marching season. This situation will only be made worse if the political vacuum continues," he added.
