This morning, as talks started at Stormont, a number of protesters stated their opposition to an Irish Language Act being included in any potential deal.

The small group of protestors set up camp outside the talks venue. Many of them were holding union flags.

Three years on from the collapse of the devolved government, the Stormont parties have until a January 13 deadline to strike a deal to revive the institutions.
