Bertie Ahern: No Stormont Assembly for Biden is big own goal

Former Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern described the absence of a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland during Joe Biden's visit as a "big own goal".

He says it is a "huge pity and huge disappointment" that the Stormont Assembly will not be sitting for the President's visit.
