Two years after powersharing collapsed in Northern Ireland, Stormont is back in business with Sinn Fein’s Michelle O’Neill becoming its first nationalist First Minister.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met leaders of the new restored devolved government, asking them to focus on daytoday issues rather than the issue of Irish unity.

On the Sky News Daily, Jonathan Samuels looks at how much closer we could be to a united Ireland.

He's joined by our senior Ireland correspondent David Blevins to explain the significance of Ms O’Neill’s historic appointment, while Deirdre Heenan, professor of social policy at Ulster University, and Brian Feeney, historian and political columnist with the Irish News, explore the reunification debate.
