Northern Ireland’s First Minister has resigned, in what some are saying is the biggest political crisis in the province for ten years.<br /><br /> Peter Robinson stepped aside, along with other senior DUP figures, after Sinn Fein and the two other main parties voted against adjourning the Assembly on Thursday afternoon.<br /><br /> The crisis was sparked by the arrest of Sinn Fein Chairman Bobby Storey on Wednesday in connection with the recent murder of an ex-IRA member. He is still being questioned.<br /><br /> The British government could be asked to suspend the power-sharing administration. Mr Robinson says the latest crisis has “pushed devolution to the brink.”
