General election 2019: Cabinet reshuffle as MPs return to Westminster - BBC News
It is the first week of Boris Johnson's new Conservative government following the election.
The British and Irish governments will work “night and day” over the next few weeks to restore devolution, Tanaiste Simon Coveney has said.

The Irish deputy prime minister was speaking after a meeting with Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith at Stormont.

Fresh efforts are being made to restore the Northern Ireland Assembly, with the five main parties engaged in new talks.

The Northern Ireland Assembly has been inactive since January 2017, when its two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, split in a bitter row.

Mr Coveney said there would be “intensive” discussions between the five parties over the course of this week.

He will hold his own meetings with them on Monday night and Tuesday, ahead of a roundtable discussion scheduled for Wednesday.

He said the two governments did not “want to bounce” the parties into an agreement – but said they had been discussing the same issues for many months now.

“This is not about trying to force the parties into a space they don’t want to move into,” he added.

“But we’ve had a reality check with the nurses’ strike, and I think it’s a reminder to everyone that now is the time to get this done.”

Nurses in Northern Ireland have been striking for their pay to be bought into line with that of their colleagues in the rest of the UK.
