Northern Ireland's largest British unionist party has agreed to end a boycott that left the region's people without a regional government for two years, it said on Tuesday - a breakthrough that could see the shuttered power-sharing administration in Belfast restored within days.

But the DUP, which fiercely supports keeping Northern Ireland in the UK rather than unifying it with the Republic of Ireland, walked out in February 2022 in a dispute over post-Brexit trade rules.
