Stormont Sources

Stormont’s Secret Spending Fights


Listen Later

This week on Stormont Sources, David McCann, Tim Cairns and Michael McKernan dive deep into two major Stormont flashpoints.

💷 First, the Stormont monitoring round — Ministers scrambling for cash to plug pay gaps.

  • Mike Nesbitt’s £100 million boost for health — and why it’s only half enough.
  • DUP, Sinn Féin and the smaller parties: who wins and who loses in these back-room budget battles?
  • Are Northern Ireland’s smaller parties powerless inside the Executive?

🗳️ Then, sparks fly on X/Twitter:

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly and Opposition Leader Matthew O’Toole clash over the idea of extending Irish presidential voting rights to Northern Ireland.

Is this a breach of the Good Friday Agreement or just a culture-war distraction?

🎙️ Stormont Sources takes you behind the scenes of Northern Ireland politics — with insight from former party insiders.
