So what does "restoration of power-sharing" mean here?

The DUP ( Ian Paisley, Gene's buddy, is a senior member), have refused to participate in the NI assembly since last year.
They are essentially the party of NO.
They supported Brexit, even though it was clearly going to cause huge problems for NI.
They have refused to cooperate with any of the proposed solutions to these problems.
In the last election, Sinn Féin got the most seats, and their leader was going to be First Minister for the first time in NIs history.
This is intolerable to the DUP, they are the party of Unionist superiority, so they'd rather shut down the government than not be in charge.

Edit: I think this video is an interesting illustration of how NI politics have changed

https://www.irishtimes.com/video/ireland/2022/09/14/what-are-you-now-the-biggest-party-are-you-when-king-charles-met-michelle-oneill/

This was just after the Queen died, and Charles was visiting all parts of the UK. Compare the warm and friendly interaction between him and Michelle O'Neill (Sinn Féin leader), and the stiff, detached one with Jeffrey Donaldson (DUP leader)
Even the fecking king thinks the DUP are a pain.

"Don't tell Jeffrey" lol

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Theresa May (Or Teresa, I can never remember which one was PM and which one did porn) brought them into a coalition, undermining the UK government's position as a mediator between NI unionists and republicans and thus the good friday agreement

With that sort of name why wouldn't he just go by Richard X. Nigro (I couldn't find his middle name if any) to make thing slightly less awkward?

Viagra can be extraordinarily dangerous, especially for a dummy who orders dick pills and isn’t being guided by their doctor
