18 months after the Stormont project got itself up and running again, its future looks far from certain once again.

As we're recording this, it's far from clear what's happening with the delivery of NDNA commitments made last January

around a cultural package that includes Irish language legislation.

We could see an intervention at Westminster to make that happen.

We could see the collapse of the power sharing

institutions. We could find ourselves plunged back into another election campaign almost a year

sooner than expected. Of course, there are big opportunities in all of this potentially for

Sinn Féin and big challenges too, and that's what we're discussing on this week's red line.

So as things stand now, mid-afternoon on Wednesday,

what are the calculations Sinn Féin's key strategists are likely to be grappling with? Enda,

what options do you imagine Mary Lou and Michelle and their key advisors are war gaming right now?

It's classic political poker mark because we're sitting, the party writing

high in the polls, unionism and disarray. They're sitting with a very, very strong hand, but they

also know, Mark, play the wrong card, sit too tight perhaps in the hope of getting a better card or two,

somebody calling their bluff. They know these stakes are pretty high and this can change drastically

with a wrong decision at the wrong time. So I think the party is going to weigh things up

extremely carefully before deciding at this stage what's turn to make next.

Suzanne, what's your sense of what's happening behind closed doors?

Well, Sinn Féin is in a far better position than the DUP.

It knows if there is an autumn election.

It's sitting on 25% in the polls compared to the DUP 16%.

And that 16 for the DUP was recorded long before the recent resignations and further turmoil in Edwin-Putz's party.
