In this episode of Stormont Sources, the team breaks down Michelle O’Neill’s revealing interview with the Belfast Telegraph — and the political shockwaves it’s sent through the Executive Office.

🔍 O’Neill claims to be “in full control” of Sinn Féin’s Northern Ireland team - but is she really? Or is this a thinly veiled swipe at her counterpart, Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly?

🎙️ Tim, David and Michael analyse:

• The deeper tensions in Stormont Castle
• Whether Michelle O’Neill or Emma Little-Pengelly really hold power
• The soft media strategy behind O'Neill’s recent appearances
• Fresh questions about IRA influence and party control
• Performance grades for Executive Ministers after 18 months in power
• The standout performers and those falling short (with some surprises)

👀 Plus: Why John O'Dowd's career turnaround is raising eyebrows, how Andrew Muir is defying pressure, and whether Gordon Lyons is heading toward “gaffe-prone” territory.
