The DUP has been urged by other Stormont parties to get back to government at Stormont following the announcement of a new Brexit deal.
Her party leader, Mary Lou McDonald, added there was "no justification for the DUP to continue this reckless and damaging boycott of democracy".
Alliance Party leader Naomi Long said the deal should have been signed four years ago if, she described, the UK had a "serious" prime minister at the time.
