The Tanaiste (Irish Deputy Prime Minister) met the East Belfast GAA, an organisation which has faced threats since forming, including a security alert at grounds it uses for practise last months.

Mr Martin finished his day with a visit to the Museum of Orange Heritage in east Belfast to learn more about the work of the Orange Order.

He met the Orange Order's Grand Secretary Mervyn Gibson and Deputy Grand Master Harold Henning for a tour of the centre.

Furthermore, the Tanaiste was clear that the Irish Government would still adhere to their commitments to help once the Executive was up and running with things like the A5 and other infrastructure projects.
