The DUP has yet to come to terms with the significance of the vote in Parliament in support of the new Brexit deal, says chhcalling
Speaking after meeting Mr Heaton-Harris at Hillsborough Castle, Sir Jeffrey said he would work with the government to get the deal changed.
He said he would have to set Northern Ireland's budget for the coming year within the next few weeks if the executive was not up and running soon.Sinn Féin vice-president Michelle O'Neill said the DUP had to "stop their boycott" of Stormont so that executive ministers could take control of the budget.
He said his party had asked the UK government to consider providing a financial package and it appeared "the door is open to that". Ulster Unionist assembly member Robbie Butler said the level of budget cuts "on that cliff edge at the moment actually is quite alarming".
