By Q Radio news

Arlene Foster is set to quit the DUP when she stands down as Northern Ireland's first minister.

It is understood Mrs Foster thinks the DUP is no longer the party she joined  in 2004.

The Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA tendered her resignation as DUP leader and First Minister on Wednesday and said she was preparing to depart the political stage.

The outgoing Stormont leader will remain in post as First Minister until the end of June.
