First Minister Michelle O’Neill and deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly were speaking after meeting Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris
Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly described discussions with Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris, pictured, as ‘constructive’ “We’re committed to transformation, doing things better, actually delivering our services better,” Ms O’Neill told reporters after meeting Mr Heaton-Harris.
“That’s what I believe the people of Northern Ireland demand of us, but we need, and we can only do that by working with the UK Government in terms of getting that funding for investment while ensuring that our public services can continue to operate.” The UK Government pledged a £3.3 billion package to support the return of devolution in Northern Ireland earlier this year.
