Arlene Foster, has suggested her party might consider supporting a Brexit deal - if it included what she called "Northern Ireland specific solutions". But addressing the Dublin Chamber of Commerce last night Mrs Foster re-iterated that a deal that involved an Irish backstop, would not be achieved.  She also held talks with the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. Speaking to reporters beforehand  she was asked whether it was possible to have Northern Ireland only solutions to the Brexit border issue  that didn't affect its constitutional position. So what's going on? Are the DUP softening their position? are they preparing to do a deal with some form of backstop? Stephen got the views of political commentators Alex Kane and Mick Fealty, and the TUV MLA Jim Allister.
