the northern ireland secretary, james brokenshire, has said he believes a deal between the parties inthern ireland remains achievable, but has warned that time is short. he said that long term funding decisions could not be put off much longer. because of the snap general election, an extended deadline of 29 june had been set for forming a power—sharing executive. that was, of course, last thursday, and did not result in a deal. in the past few days since the passing of the deadline, some progress has continued to be made, including on the most challenging issues such as language, culture and identity. but gaps remain between the parties on a defined number of issues. the government remains committed to working with the parties and the irish government to find a way to close these gaps quickly in order to reach an agreement which will pave the way for the restoration of devolved government. i am clear that the return of inclusive, devolved government by a power—sharing executive is what would be profoundly in the best interests of northern ireland. and that will remain our overriding
