As talks in Brussels turned again to the thorny issue of the Irish border, Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald insisted it needed to be resolved by June at the latest.
She accused the UK government of "bluster and procrastination" on the issue and said concrete proposals on how it intended to avoid a hard border were needed.
"The reality is we should at this stage have seen some concrete proposal from the British government," she said.
"The idea of pushing this out to October is absolutely unacceptable."
Mrs McDonald, who held a number of public engagement meetings in Belfast on Monday, had a blunt message for the UK government.
"They need to understand that further delay is not acceptable, they need to show us the colour of their money, they need to put forward a concrete proposition and proposal as to how Ireland is protected, how the north of Ireland is protected, how our peace agreements are protected, how our economy is protected."
