John O'Dowd has published his long-awaited multi-year draft budget. But he still needs the rest of the Executive to play ball. How difficult will that prove to be? We've been speaking at length to the Finance Minister and we'll be joined by representatives from some of the other parties.
Also here with their analysis of the announcement will be Ann Watt from Pivotal and the Economist Paul MacFlynn.
We'll also be hearing from Deirdre Heenan. Peter Shirlow, and David McCann on what they think 2026 may bring and who they believe might replace Mike Nesbitt as Ulster Unionist Leader.
