Last December, I was deeply honoured when the members | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
of the Democratic Unionist Party placed their trust in me | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
to be their party leader. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
That night, I cited a quote from CS Lewis, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
which can be found on his portrait in Stormont. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
It said, "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
The Northern Ireland of today is infinitely better than | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
the one I grew up in. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
But we're still on a journey to reach our full potential. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
I want to achieve that potential | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
and to make Northern Ireland the very best place to live and work and bring up a family. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:47 | |
At the Assembly elections, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
I set out our five-point plan for Northern Ireland. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
To create more jobs and increase incomes, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
to protect family budgets, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
prioritise spending on health, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
to raise standards in education for everyone | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
and to invest in infrastructure for the future. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
The people of Northern Ireland have given us | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
a huge mandate and I thank them for it. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
Alongside my DUP colleagues, we are working to deliver for you. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
With ministerial colleagues in education, economy, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
agriculture and communities, we are in the Northern Ireland Executive | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
working to deliver that better future for everyone. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
In June, the people of the United Kingdom took the historic decision | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
to leave the European Union. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
And the DUP is committed to making a success of Brexit. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
We will be working alongside others to ensure we get | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
the best possible deal for the people of Northern Ireland. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
And we want to maximise the opportunities | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
whilst addressing the challenges. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
The DUP played a very key role during the EU referendum | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
and we continue to ensure that Northern Ireland's voice and interests are heard at Westminster. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
And we have the strong, united team, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
with elected representatives in councils, at Stormont, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
at Westminster and in Brussels, to ensure that Northern Ireland's | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
interests, YOUR interests, are advanced at this crucial time. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
With your support, we will continue to be the party for Northern Ireland. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
This weekend is my first party conference as leader. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
I will address a party that is growing and looking forward | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
with confidence. The DUP is now the voice of Unionism. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Many have joined with us over this last 12 months. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
I look forward to many more joining with us, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
as we deliver a stronger and more prosperous Northern Ireland. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 |
