Programme for Government: Public set to pass judgement

Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill has said it’s a “milestone” and now the public is set to pass its judgement on Stormont’s programme for government (PfG).

It was signed off by the Northern Ireland Executive on Thursday more than seven months after the return of devolution.

And as convention demands it will only be unveiled later on Monday when it is shown to MLAs and debated as the assembly returns from its summer recess.

So what do we know so far?

There are nine key priorities including cutting health waiting times; ending violence against women and girls; providing more social, affordable and sustainable housing; and protecting Lough Neagh and the environment.

The Justice Minister Naomi Long said the draft programme was not an “exhaustive list” of everything the executive would do.

Instead, it would “prioritise certain aspects of the work of the executive”.

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly said progress would be measured month-to-month.
