SEVERAL hundred people haved attended protests in Belfast and Derry calling for Arlene Foster to resign as first minister.

Organised by People Before Profit (PBP), the protests were held outside Belfast City Hall and Guildhall Square in Derry on Friday evening.

PBP MLA Gerry Carroll praised the "fantastic turnout" and thanked everyone who attended.

"The time for waiting on politicians 'to get their act together' is over," he wrote on Facebook. "Our message is clear; what Stormont does, the people can undo. Arlene has to go, and the whole corrupt system can go with her."
