Michelle O’Neill’s election as First Minister of Northern Ireland made worldwide headlines.

On today’s Free State, Joe reflects on the importance of O’Neill’s election and considers what it means for the nationalist community. 

Joe and Dion look at the generous speeches of O’Neill and the deputy first minister Emma Little-Pengelly and consider their journeys to this point. 

It is a moment of real significance where history may now become just that - history. It is a moment where Ulster finally said Yes.

Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
