O’Neill to Table Stormont Reform Plan Within Weeks to End Deadlock

The move signals an effort to overcome DUP obstruction.

Overview

  • At the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis on Friday, Michelle O’Neill pledged to reform Stormont’s power‑sharing system to end what she called a blockage on progress.
  • She said proposals will arrive within weeks and stressed that changing job titles matters less than making the Executive function for the public.
  • O’Neill accused the DUP of trying to turn the clock back and described working with the party in the Executive as a very challenging arrangement.
  • She criticized the UK Government’s legacy approach and called for a full public inquiry into Sean Brown’s death, noting his widow is still being taken through the courts.
  • O’Neill reaffirmed delivery priorities such as building the A5 road in County Tyrone and said Sinn Féin will work with other progressive parties to drive change.
