South Down MP Margaret Ritchie has called on the DUP to admit it made a huge mistake in backing the leave campaign in the EU referendum.

It comes after First Minister Arlene Foster outlined her concerns about Brexit in a joint letter with Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness to prime minister Theresa May.

Ms. Ritchie says she shares their concerns, including how leaving the EU will lead to serious issues for the border region.

The SDLP representative says it's now essential DUP leader Mrs. Foster follows through and works to protect European investment as well as free movement for goods, services and people.
