Sin Fein: May is 'ignoring democratic wishes' of NI peoplepublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 13 May 2017
Sinn Fein's John O'Dowd has said the prime minister showed "arrogance" by visiting an agricultural show in County Antrim "while her Tory cabinet is planning to impose Brexit on the north which will be disastrous for our farming and agri-food industries".
A majority of Northern Ireland voters backed remaining in the EU in last year's referendum.
Mr O'Dowd added:
Quote MessageNow that Mrs May has ticked a box and visited the north one more time for the election, she will jet off home and continue to ignore the democratic wishes of the people here. This is a British prime minister whose Tory party received just 0.3% of the vote in the last Assembly election in the north. Her politics have been rejected both at the ballot box and in a referendum where the people of the north voted to remain within the EU.

Tonight the final of Eurovision 2017 takes place in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.
In her One Show appearance on Tuesday, Theresa May suggested that Brexit might not do the UK any favours at Eurovision,, external joking: “I’m tempted to say in current circumstances I’m not sure how many votes we’ll get."
But Alasdair Rendall from Eurovision fan club OGAE UK says "Brexit's just not been an issue at all" and is optimistic as the UK has "a strong song" this year.
He's in the host city and tells BBC News:
Quote MessageIf you're sitting on your sofa, watching the contest in Moldova or Estonia, Brexit's not going to be top of your agenda. You're going to be voting on which song do you like the most?"
Home secretary 'lost in cyber-space' say Lib Demspublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 13 May 2017
The Liberal Democrats have joined Labour in demanding an inquiry into the cyber attack on the NHS.
The party is accusing the Conservative government of cutting cyber-security support "a year ago when it axed a £5.5m deal with Microsoft".
Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Lord Paddick said Home Secretary Amber Rudd was "lost in cyber-space" and added:
Quote MessageThe government likes to look tough but this is an example of where it has left Britain defenceless. We demand to be told why.
May quizzed on Stormont deadlockpublished at 15:58 British Summer Time 13 May 2017
Media caption, Theresa May: We all want to see devolved adminstration restored in Northern Ireland
Mrs May has countered criticisms she has not been personally involved in trying to resolve the deadlock at Stormont.
Talks aimed at restoring the power-sharing executive have been put on hold until the general election is over.
The political deadlock in Northern Ireland came after a snap election on 2 March brought an end to Stormont's unionist majority - and the Democratic Unionist Party's lead over Sinn Féin was cut from 10 seats to one.
Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, the executive must be jointly run by unionists and nationalists, with the largest party putting forward a candidate for first minister.
Farmer says he has heard 'no suggestions' on future of Irish borderpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 13 May 2017
BBC News Channel
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, has said the Irish border issue would be one of his three priorities in the negotiations with the UK government after the election.
A solution would be welcomed by Barclay Bell, president of the Ulster Farmers' Union, who says about 30% of milk produced by Northern Ireland's farmers and 40% of lambs head south of the Irish border daily.
"Anything that is going to head towards a hard border really will present huge challenges to the agri-food industry," he tells BBC News from the Balmoral Show in Lisburn.
The UK and Irish governments have both said they do not want a return to customs posts on the border after the UK leaves the EU.
However, Mr Bell says "we haven't heard any suggestions" of what post-Brexit border arrangements might look like.

In an interview with the BBC in Northern Ireland, the prime minister said the National Cyber Security Centre was working with all organisations in the UK that had been affected "and that's very important," she added.

Image source, European Photopress AgencyTheresa May has quoted Europol saying the cyber attack "unprecedented".
She was speaking while on the campaign trail in Northern Ireland, and just ahead of an emergency Cobra meeting this after, being led by Home Secretary Amber Rudd.
The prime minster said it was right the home secretary would chair the meeting as she "has responsibility for these issues".
Asked about whether NHS was properly funded and could ensure this wouldn't happen again Mrs May said they had been putting more money into the health service, with £10bn more by 2020.
Quote MessageBut what is crucial in terms of cyber security is this government has actually put £2bn into cyber security strategy, set up the National Cyber Security Centre, that has been advising organisations in the public sector like the NHS but outside the public sector as well, about cyber security.

Scottish Labour has said SNP candidate Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh should be suspended by the party, after she confirmed that "administrative matters" relating to her time as a solicitor are being checked by the Law Society of Scotland.
"The SNP’s refusal to suspend Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh is untenable," said Scottish Labour campaign manager James Kelly.
Quote MessageThere are some serious questions for the SNP to answer. When was the party informed about the investigation, and when was Nicola Sturgeon first informed? And, most importantly, did the SNP attempt to keep this quiet until after the election?
An SNP spokesman said Ms Ahmed-Sheikh had "co-operated fully" with the investigation and was continuing her campaign to be returned as the MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, a seat she won for the SNP in 2015.
Home secretary offers GCHQ help to Labourpublished at 14:51 British Summer Time 13 May 2017
In her reply to Labour's Jon Ashworth, Amber Rudd says the government "has invested significantly to bolster our cyber defences".
"We have doubled investment in cyber security to £1.9 billion and established the National Cyber Security Centre as part of GCHQ to act as a single point of contact for major incidents like this."
She does not respond to Mr Ashworth's call for "a full, independent inquiry" into the cyber attack but does write that assistance is available for Labour:
Quote MessageShould you have any concerns about the security of the Labour Party’s own systems, GCHQ stand ready to provide a briefing on how best to minimise the risk of a successful attack.
Home secretary responds to Labour's cyber attack questionspublished at 14:44 British Summer Time 13 May 2017

"There is no evidence that any patient data has been compromised and the NHS has done brilliantly to manage the disruption," Ms Rudd writes, adding:
Quote MessageThere will be lessons to learn from what appears to be the biggest criminal cyber attack in history. But our immediate priority as a government is to disrupt the attack, restore affected services as soon as possible, and establish who was behind it so we can bring them to justice. The National Cyber Security Centre, along with the National Crime Agency and others, are working around the clock to put this right.
