The DUP has been accused of “obstructing” north-south institutions.
Sinn Fein and the SDLP say the DUP failed to nominate a unionist minister to attend two North South Ministerial Council (NSMC) sectoral meetings in recent weeks which prevented them from going ahead.
One accompanying minister from the opposing political view must attend NSMC meetings to allow them to proceed.
On Friday, Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon (SDLP) said an NSMC transport meeting could not go ahead due to no unionist minister having been nominated.
DUP leader Arlene Foster later claimed the meeting did not happen due to a timing issue and insisted it would take place in the future.
