Will the DUP finally return to Stormont?

Will the DUP finally return to Stormont?

Will they or won't they? DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson must soon decide whether to lead his party back into power-sharing or to let devolution die and direct rule return. The decision he makes will be defining for Northern Ireland, for Unionism and for Donaldson himself. To discuss the forces at play, unionist commentator Alex Kane and Northern Editor Freya McClements join Pat and Hugh.


Alex Kane is a commentator based in Belfast. He was formerly director of communications for the Ulster Unionist Party.
