Who became the first Nationalist First Minister of Northern Ireland?

Question

Michelle O\'Neill, a member of Sinn Féin, became the first Irish nationalist first minister of Northern Ireland. O\'Neill\'s appointment came after the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) agreed to a new deal with the British government on post-Brexit trade rules. The DUP\'s Emma Little-Pengelly is the deputy first minister.  Northern Ireland\'s government is a result of the 1998 Good Friday peace accord, which equally shares power between the two main communities in the region. These communities are British unionists who want to remain in the U.K., and Irish nationalists who want to unite with Ireland.
