<p>The Government remains focused on re-establishing an inclusive, devolved government
that the overwhelming majority of the people in Northern Ireland want to see. Progress
has been made in recent discussions which provide a basis for further intensive discussions

the Government’s intention quickly to bring forward legislation after the Easter recess
to allow an Executive to be formed and avoid a second Assembly election. The Secretary
of State for Northern Ireland will be keeping the situation under close review.</p>
