UK Government's Final £3.3bn Offer to Restore Northern Ireland's Devolved Government Rejected by DUP

Despite the increased financial package, including a £559 million debt write-off, the Democratic Unionist Party continues to negotiate, delaying the restoration of power-sharing at Stormont.

The UK government has increased its financial offer to Northern Ireland from £2.5 billion to £3.3 billion in an attempt to restore the devolved government at Stormont, which has been inactive for almost two years.
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is still refusing to accept the offer, despite it being declared as the final one by Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris.
The financial package includes a commitment from the UK Treasury to write off £559 million in existing overspends from the past two years of governance without direction.
The DUP's acceptance of the offer is conditional on the party ending its blockade of power-sharing and crafting its own balanced budget plans with Sinn Féin, the major party on the Irish nationalist side.
DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson insists that his party is still in negotiation mode, despite other parties accepting that the UK has made its final offer.
