Sinn Fein deputy leader Michelle O'Neill is the new first minister in Northern Ireland and the first republican head of government.
She was officially appointed today after an agreement was reached in recent days to break the political stalemate and return to the formation of a local government of national unity between the republicans of Sinn Fein and the unionists of the DUP.
The new executive was formed based on the results of the latest elections in the province of the Kingdom, now led by Michelle O'Neill, the first for the republican team, while the number 2 in the government is a representative of the DUP.
