The new leader of the DUP has launched a scathing attack on two senior figures in the Dublin government, Leo Varadkar and Simon Coveney.
After his ratification as leader last night, Edwin Poots described his relationship with the Dublin government as “really, really bad”.
Mr Poots, who has replaced the outgoing Arlene Foster as leader, said that he has respect for Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
But he took aim at Tánaiste Leo Varadkar and Foreign Minister Simon Coveney, both of whom were key figures in the Brexit negotiations under the last Dublin government.
