MARTIN McGuinness has cancelled a trip to the White House on St Patrick’s Day as the Stormont political crisis continues.
Joint first minister Peter Robinson had already cancelled his trip.
In a statement Mr McGuinness said: “The number one priority for me and my party is finding a resolution to the difficulties currently facing the Executive.
“The Sinn Féin team and I have engaged in this work positively and constructively.
“Progress has been made in talks between the parties but there is still a lot of work to be done.
“I have decided therefore in the best interests of trying to move the situation forward that I will not be travelling to the US to take part in events marking St Patrick’s Day.”
