Stormont's first minister sets out an ‘ambitious’ first programme for government
STORMONT’S first minister has set out an “ambitious” first programme for her government on Monday.
Sinn Fein’s Michelle O’Neill put forward an 88-page document called Our Plan: Doing What Matters Most, which outlined nine “immediate priorities” for the first republican administration in the six counties.
Ms O’Neill said: “This is government in action, this is putting in place our plans, what we’re prioritising to make people’s lives better.”
