Northern Ireland First Minister Paul Givan quit on Thursday, triggering a political crisis as the UK and the European Union struggle to resolve the region’s post-Brexit trading arrangements.
“Today marks the end of what has been the privilege of my lifetime — to serve as the first minister of Northern Ireland,†Givan told reporters in Belfast.
Givan’s departure will force Sinn Fein deputy first minister, Michelle O’Neill, to resign as well. Under the Good Friday agreement, the first minister and deputy first minister have equal powers and one cannot be in place without the other.
