Foresight News provides a look-ahead to the key events that need to be in your news diary for next week… 

Monday marks a deadline set out in the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Act to restore the devolved government at Stormont or call fresh elections, three years after the Assembly collapsed.

A flurry of talks spurred by the looming deadline produced a breakthrough on Thursday, when Northern Irish Secretary Julian Smith and Irish Tanaiste Simon Coveney announced the New Decade, New Approach deal to restore government. At time of writing, the Assembly had not yet been officially recalled to approve the deal, though it says preparations have been made to allow a sitting ahead of Monday’s deadline.
