Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley has confirmed fresh talks will begin on 7 May to restore devolution. We've been without a devolved government since January 2017 and since then several rounds of talks aimed at restoring the Assembly have failed. A joint statement by Prime Minister Theresa May and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: "The aim of these talks is quickly to re-establish to full operation the democratic institutions of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement - the NI executive, assembly and North-South Ministerial Council - so that they can effectively serve all of the people for the future." So, are talks going to work this time? What about those red lines we kept hearing about? What are your "red lines" at home, what do you want the politicians to do to make this work? Stephen spoke to Allison Morris from the Irish News and Ben Lowry from the Newsletter.
