:00:24. > :00:30.The chamber gets to vote on whether Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly
:00:31. > :00:46.The question is the motion standing being agreed. As many as are of the
:00:47. > :00:52.opinion, say "aye". To the contrary, "no".
:00:53. > :00:54.Temperatures rise in the chamber as the Culture Minister takes
:00:55. > :01:03.We're condemning young people for a life going through the criminal
:01:04. > :01:07.justice system because you are belligerent, you aren't for budging
:01:08. > :01:09.and you won't acknowledge the situation.
:01:10. > :01:11.And I'm joined by our political reporter
:01:12. > :01:23.Stephen Walker to cast his expert eye over the day's proceedings.
:01:24. > :01:26.The first item of business today - should Gerry Kelly get a five-day
:01:27. > :01:29.suspension after he broke the law by jumping on a Land Rover last year as
:01:30. > :01:33.The police gave the Sinn Fein member an informed warning over
:01:34. > :01:36.Not good enough, said unionists parties who insisted
:01:37. > :01:41.But with Sinn Fein and the SDLP united, the move to suspend
:01:42. > :01:44.Gerry Kelly - as recommended by the Assembly's Standards and
:01:45. > :01:50.A petition of concern, signed by Sinn Fein and some members
:01:51. > :01:54.of the SDLP, was lodged against the motion meaning it had to have
:01:55. > :02:11.Order. Member's order. The first item of the day is that we vote on
:02:12. > :02:17.the... Order, members. On the complaints against Mr Jerry Kelly.
:02:18. > :02:20.The vote will be on a cross community basis. The question is
:02:21. > :02:24.that the motion stand in the name of the chairperson of the committee. As
:02:25. > :02:35.many as are of the opinion, say "aye". To the contrary, "no". Clear
:02:36. > :02:47.the lobbies. The question will be put in three minutes. Ayes to the
:02:48. > :02:59.right, noes to the left. 93 members voted, at of which 53 voted yes, 47
:03:00. > :03:05.Unionists voted, of which 49 voted yes, 100%. Seven others voted, of
:03:06. > :03:10.which seven voted yes, 100%. The motion is negative. The voters
:03:11. > :03:15.negative. Let us move on. Order! Order!
:03:16. > :03:17.The Speaker firmly called the House to order after the vote.
:03:18. > :03:20.And I'm joined now in the studio by my colleague Stephen Walker who was
:03:21. > :03:32.No surprise what happened today. No great surprise. We had the big
:03:33. > :03:36.debate yesterday and it got quite stormy at times on a number of
:03:37. > :03:40.occasions. The Speaker had to intervene and warned people about
:03:41. > :03:44.their language and behaviour. Yesterday was quite stormy. Today
:03:45. > :03:50.was the practical end of business, the vote, and it went 56 for the
:03:51. > :03:54.motion and 37 against the motion so no great surprises and, obviously,
:03:55. > :03:58.we had this petition of concern which meant we knew which way the
:03:59. > :04:02.vote was going to go. That is yet another user that petition, which is
:04:03. > :04:07.still quite a controversial device. It is. What is interesting about
:04:08. > :04:11.this latest vote today is the fact that Sinn Fein and the SDLP have
:04:12. > :04:16.criticised the use of the petition of concern in the past. They
:04:17. > :04:21.criticise the DUP and Unionists of using it but here we have an example
:04:22. > :04:24.of Sinn Fein and the SDLP using it because they felt that Gerry Kelly
:04:25. > :04:28.have been given a proper hearing. It throws into focus the whole system
:04:29. > :04:31.of a petition of concern, which is there to ensure there is cross
:04:32. > :04:36.community support. I think people when they look at it and ask whether
:04:37. > :04:39.it is being used properly, how many times it has been used, the big
:04:40. > :04:46.question will be whether parties are abusing it. Away from the chamber,
:04:47. > :04:50.there is the controversial issues about the parading of flags. What
:04:51. > :04:54.are you hearing? We know very little in terms of what is happening about
:04:55. > :04:57.the talks. All we know is that Peter Robinson said he hoped the talks
:04:58. > :05:03.would begin before the end of the month. He said there would be at
:05:04. > :05:07.least two batches of three days. We don't know when that is supposed to
:05:08. > :05:11.happen. It's possible that it could happen next week. But clearly, as we
:05:12. > :05:17.move towards the 12th, it's going to be parading. Unionists have made it
:05:18. > :05:21.quite clear that they won't be discussing the past until Lady
:05:22. > :05:26.Hallet's review is complete. Parading is going to be a key issue
:05:27. > :05:30.in the coming weeks. It is because we're less than a month away from
:05:31. > :05:33.the 12th of July, the whole issue hasn't been resolved and there is
:05:34. > :05:39.big pressure to try and get it resolved. Thank you very much.
:05:40. > :05:41.Back in the chamber, the Culture Minister faced question
:05:42. > :05:44.time today and she was asked about how much funding was made available
:05:45. > :05:48.The DUP's Trevor Clarke asked Caral Ni Chuilin to provide more
:05:49. > :05:59.Given that there is clear evidence that there is a need and demand for
:06:00. > :06:03.more funding to this, unlike looking at question six, what assurances can
:06:04. > :06:08.the Minister give that more funding will go towards arts festivals given
:06:09. > :06:13.the large amount of people who have become involved in it? Well, the
:06:14. > :06:19.member should be corrected. The Irish language is flourishing, which
:06:20. > :06:26.I'm sure the member and his friends are happy to know. In relation to
:06:27. > :06:31.funding for festivals, ensuring that funding for festivals... Obviously,
:06:32. > :06:35.the demand is there. It's up to the groups to lobby their local councils
:06:36. > :06:39.because my contribution to local councils for festival funding has
:06:40. > :06:44.been matched by the council. If the members aren't doing their jobs
:06:45. > :06:47.locally, there's not much I can do. Can the Minister confirm funding for
:06:48. > :06:54.Belfast Orangefest was ordered through the community festivals
:06:55. > :06:59.fund? As I said, community funding is provided which district councils
:07:00. > :07:04.match. Any community group may be eligible to apply. Orange cultural
:07:05. > :07:08.groups can and do receive funding from local councils. Belfast city
:07:09. > :07:12.council has advised that Belfast Orangefest has not made any
:07:13. > :07:16.application to the fund although it is aware of the programme and is
:07:17. > :07:23.included in the circular lists. Belfast City Councillor did make an
:07:24. > :07:31.award to Orangefest in 2011-12 and the fund was never claimed. This
:07:32. > :07:35.money has been well spent so far and deserving of appropriate increases
:07:36. > :07:40.and, if she had the ability, would she make a bit fall those
:07:41. > :07:45.appropriate increases? I agree with him in terms of festival funding.
:07:46. > :07:49.It's very important, particularly in relation to cultural celebration. In
:07:50. > :07:54.regard to how we feel about each cultural celebration, it is a very
:07:55. > :07:58.important one. I agree that the fund needs to be increased so that people
:07:59. > :08:02.celebrating festivals all over can access it and it's something I'm
:08:03. > :08:05.happy to look at in the future. But certainly for this summer and a near
:08:06. > :08:10.me really, I think the level of funding will remain. -- in the
:08:11. > :08:18.immediate period. She will be aware that for almost a full year now,
:08:19. > :08:21.certain organisations have wanted to celebrate their cuts in a peaceful
:08:22. > :08:27.and respect for manner by returning on their parade from last year's
:08:28. > :08:31.12th of July celebrations. -- celebrate their culture. I wonder if
:08:32. > :08:35.she would agree with me that it is very damaging to our tourism product
:08:36. > :08:40.to send out a message that the celebration of culture in Northern
:08:41. > :08:51.Ireland is conditional. I'm not really sure that spending ?1 million
:08:52. > :08:55.on a particular avenue is the best way to promote cultural stop I'm
:08:56. > :08:58.sure you would and I think that is an indictment on people who are not
:08:59. > :09:04.in agreement with you. What we need to do is resolve that issue. I'm
:09:05. > :09:08.very disappointed that because we as adults can't get our act together,
:09:09. > :09:11.we are condemning young people for a life going through the criminal
:09:12. > :09:17.justice system because you are belligerent, you are begrudging and
:09:18. > :09:20.you won't acknowledge and recognise equality across-the-board. I don't
:09:21. > :09:24.think it has anything at all to do with culture and I only wish you
:09:25. > :09:29.asked a question that would actually promote what we have here to offer
:09:30. > :09:30.instead of using an example which sections or one side of the
:09:31. > :09:36.community off against another. The Culture Minister calling for
:09:37. > :09:39.better questions from her colleagues Education very much dominated
:09:40. > :09:43.the agenda at Stormont today and the first item to be debated
:09:44. > :09:46.was the finding of a report by the education committee into how schools
:09:47. > :09:49.in Northern Ireland are inspected. The committee brought
:09:50. > :09:50.before the House a series of recommendations as to how the
:09:51. > :10:01.entire process of can be improved. Inspection is clearly a good thing.
:10:02. > :10:04.However, it is also equally clear that simply and repeatedly
:10:05. > :10:09.inspecting our schools will not, of itself, make them any better.
:10:10. > :10:14.Imagine if a teacher of a child who is underachieving in their school
:10:15. > :10:19.simply tells the child repeatedly that their attainment is inadequate
:10:20. > :10:22.or unsatisfactory. That will not, on its own, make the child any smarter
:10:23. > :10:27.or make their performance any better. The child needs to be
:10:28. > :10:33.helped. The child needs to be properly supported. As it is with
:10:34. > :10:39.children, Mr deputy speaker, so it is with schools. Who will fund any
:10:40. > :10:44.such independent body? Who will appoint members to such bodies? Who
:10:45. > :10:47.hold these people to account? These are questions that need to be
:10:48. > :10:52.answered long before we can agree on the government state is going
:10:53. > :10:54.forward of any future body. It is surely more logical to research and
:10:55. > :10:59.evaluate the range of governance options as we move forward and defer
:11:00. > :11:04.any consideration in respect of statutory independence until such
:11:05. > :11:08.work is completed. For this reason I cannot support the motion here today
:11:09. > :11:11.that calls upon the Minister to implement all the recommendations
:11:12. > :11:16.contained in the report. I would address this debate purely from a
:11:17. > :11:19.schools perspective. From the outside I would have to say that
:11:20. > :11:26.Mayans periods of inspections, both as a teacher and inspector what,
:11:27. > :11:30.were positive. -- my experience of inspections. But I have met many
:11:31. > :11:36.where it was a different story. We need to learn lessons from this
:11:37. > :11:38.report. Lesson one - it is not the inspectors that deliver school
:11:39. > :11:41.improvement but the leaders and teachers in our schools and I pay
:11:42. > :11:47.credit to them for their dedication, and hard work. As I bring my remarks
:11:48. > :11:51.to a close, I once again praised the efforts of the staff of the
:11:52. > :11:55.committee for their hard work. I believe they've come up with a
:11:56. > :11:59.radical report which suggests reforms which, if implemented, will
:12:00. > :12:04.make a real difference to our schools and our pupils. Teachers and
:12:05. > :12:09.school principals must no longer see inspections as threats but rather
:12:10. > :12:14.opportunities for improvement in the education of our children. This will
:12:15. > :12:20.mean a change in mindset which I believe will, and must, come sooner
:12:21. > :12:25.rather than later. I would urge assembly support for this report and
:12:26. > :12:28.urge the Minister to act upon his recommendations for the sake of
:12:29. > :12:35.every single pupil in Northern Ireland. The independence of the
:12:36. > :12:37.Inspectorate keeps coming up. I support the recommendation that it
:12:38. > :12:42.should be independent of the department. I wish somebody would
:12:43. > :12:47.explain to me - and perhaps the Minister will have a go at this - as
:12:48. > :12:53.to what is the rationale for the Inspectorate being part of the
:12:54. > :12:58.department? It cries out to me that this should be an independent body.
:12:59. > :13:03.As far as the renaming is concerned, at least it would put a different
:13:04. > :13:07.emphasis on the thing and perhaps draw a line under the past. I think
:13:08. > :13:13.there is one flaw that runs throughout the report, which is this
:13:14. > :13:19.- the report's authors have concentrated on the adult in the
:13:20. > :13:25.classroom, rather than the child. And throughout the report, there are
:13:26. > :13:30.references made, understandably, to concerns raised by school
:13:31. > :13:34.principals, by teachers and their representatives of how inspections
:13:35. > :13:38.are carried out and what impact inspections have, particularly an
:13:39. > :13:44.inspection that registers a school is not performing as well as it
:13:45. > :13:50.should be. What impact that has on the morale of staff. Nowhere in the
:13:51. > :13:55.report does it comment, or is it registered, what the impact of bad
:13:56. > :14:04.education is upon the people. And that's what we're all here to
:14:05. > :14:08.serve. The second big education story of the day was integrated
:14:09. > :14:13.education. The Alliance party brought a motion to the chamber
:14:14. > :14:20.calling on the Minister to place it at the heart of education planning.
:14:21. > :14:28.Welcome to the programme. Why are you not satisfied that the current
:14:29. > :14:31.level of funding? It is not so much the funding, it is the attitude of
:14:32. > :14:36.the department. This is a long-term problem. At the moment, all we have
:14:37. > :14:44.62 integrated schools out of a total of about 1200 schools. That is after
:14:45. > :14:52.40 years. The Department has had an obligation to facilitate the system.
:14:53. > :14:57.They have not much of a job. Critics say there is scope within the
:14:58. > :15:02.existing system. Why should the integrated sector be promoted above
:15:03. > :15:11.the others? The debate arose out of the judgement on the judicial
:15:12. > :15:18.review. It has been reemphasised the duty to promote integrated
:15:19. > :15:21.education. People think that shared education and shared classrooms and
:15:22. > :15:25.so on are really the same thing, a step towards the same goal, but it
:15:26. > :15:31.is not really. The purpose of shared education is to share classes, it is
:15:32. > :15:34.an economic thing initially. To try and provide the full curriculum. If
:15:35. > :15:39.it leads to greater integration, greater sharing, people getting to
:15:40. > :15:43.know each other over a period, that is fine, but it really is not a
:15:44. > :15:51.substitute for a proper integrated school. It is a school where the
:15:52. > :15:54.board is committed to the ethos of integration and where Protestant and
:15:55. > :16:01.Catholic children are educated together. The difficulty is that
:16:02. > :16:05.this motion failed. There was not much support in the chamber for it.
:16:06. > :16:19.Actually, there was a lot of support for integrated education. It was
:16:20. > :16:24.said that there was support. But then the motion was opposed because
:16:25. > :16:33.they claimed it was divisive. I could not follow that. Even the
:16:34. > :16:39.DUP... Although we lost the vote, it was not a full turnout, but three
:16:40. > :16:44.parties supported the motion. The minister welcomed the debate but he
:16:45. > :16:49.said his role was to plan education for the benefit of all children.
:16:50. > :16:54.What more should he be doing? It is his job to facilitate all sectors
:16:55. > :16:59.and there was a certain amount of debate today about the position of
:17:00. > :17:02.faith schools. We have no problem with faith schools. They operate
:17:03. > :17:06.very well in this country and they produce great results. It is a
:17:07. > :17:10.question of parental choice. If parents want an integrated system
:17:11. > :17:14.and they do declare that in large numbers every time there is a poll,
:17:15. > :17:21.Catholic parents the same as Protestant parents, we are not
:17:22. > :17:26.trying to force them out of the system. If they want to exercise
:17:27. > :17:33.their right to go to a faith school, that is fine. Or a controlled
:17:34. > :17:38.school. Thank you very much. It has got sun, sea and sand but ministers
:17:39. > :17:40.want to relax -- were not there to relax when they travel to Guernsey
:17:41. > :17:45.last week. The summit focused on issues such as air travel and the
:17:46. > :17:53.negative effects of air passenger duty. The report prompted many
:17:54. > :17:59.questions from a semi-members. This discussion reflected the island
:18:00. > :18:02.nature of all the administrations and recognise that interdependence
:18:03. > :18:06.on ensuring and promoting the flow of people, goods and services among
:18:07. > :18:10.each other and further afield. The council acknowledged that the
:18:11. > :18:14.promotion of effective transport links between membered
:18:15. > :18:18.administration can be beneficial and to the strengthening of positive and
:18:19. > :18:23.practical relationships amongst the people of these islands. In this
:18:24. > :18:26.context, we and the other devolved administrations once more drew the
:18:27. > :18:30.attention of the United Kingdom government to the negative effects
:18:31. > :18:34.of air passenger duty on the economic and social development of
:18:35. > :18:39.our regions. Given the support of the other regions within the UK,
:18:40. > :18:46.does the First Minister believe that more concessions are possible in
:18:47. > :18:53.relation to air passenger duty? Certainly, I would not describe it
:18:54. > :18:58.as a gang up, but the three devolved administrations all argued the same
:18:59. > :19:04.case, in terms of air passenger duty. As members will be aware, the
:19:05. > :19:11.Northern Ireland in this nation was successful, the only part of the
:19:12. > :19:15.United Kingdom to be successful, in having its own level for long haul
:19:16. > :19:20.flights. And we as an executive moved back to zero. That was in
:19:21. > :19:26.support of the travel industry, in terms of long haul flights. However,
:19:27. > :19:31.we are a peripheral part of the United Kingdom, people, if they want
:19:32. > :19:39.to get to the capital of the United Kingdom, have to travel by air or
:19:40. > :19:43.sea to get there. That means we are at a disadvantage to many other
:19:44. > :19:49.parts of the United Kingdom, in cost terms. The same can be said of
:19:50. > :19:56.course of Scotland. We are pressing on that issue. There were changes
:19:57. > :20:02.announced by the Chancellor on passenger duty but they were simply
:20:03. > :20:08.consolidating three of the types of duty relating to long haul flights
:20:09. > :20:12.into one... They do not affect Northern Ireland. However, we
:20:13. > :20:15.continue to press on the basis of our economic pact with the
:20:16. > :20:19.government. It is one of the issues being considered. But I do warn the
:20:20. > :20:24.assembly that if we were to be successful, the European Union would
:20:25. > :20:33.require us to have a reduction to take account of that. It is easy
:20:34. > :20:38.enough to get to Majorca from here but you cannot get to Dusseldorf,
:20:39. > :20:42.Paris, Brussels. Is there any discussion around that? Part of the
:20:43. > :20:50.discussion is about identifying whether maybe new routes... And
:20:51. > :20:55.whether there is a demand. Indeed, one of the aspects of the work being
:20:56. > :21:01.carried out by the minister leading the work stream on this area is
:21:02. > :21:07.getting reliable data as to the movements of the people and of
:21:08. > :21:10.goods, so those are the kind of factors and then obviously, there is
:21:11. > :21:18.a decision to be taken as to whether there is sufficient clearance tell
:21:19. > :21:24.to warrant an air route or a sea passage. Also to determine whether
:21:25. > :21:31.that is the case. Most of these are commercially driven. The First
:21:32. > :21:34.Minister on the prospects for new air routes from Northern Ireland to
:21:35. > :21:38.the rest of Europe. The agriculture minister also took her turn at the
:21:39. > :21:43.dispatch box for Question Time. She answered questions about the
:21:44. > :21:47.relocation of the headquarters to Ballykelly but there was no escaping
:21:48. > :21:53.questions on the farm payments. The Minister cannot be ignorant of the
:21:54. > :22:01.direct consequences for the farming community if we move immediately to
:22:02. > :22:07.a one region flat rate distribution. Her own departmental figures
:22:08. > :22:11.demonstrate that. Apart from the platitudes about seeking an
:22:12. > :22:17.agreement, what actual steps has she taken to seek consensus on this
:22:18. > :22:21.matter? In relation to the decisions, we have taken in of
:22:22. > :22:30.decisions to date, however there are still key decisions to be taken. I
:22:31. > :22:36.do not think it is ideal that we go to the words flat rate immediately.
:22:37. > :22:40.I have listened very carefully to the views of everyone concerned. I
:22:41. > :22:44.am interested in a balanced approach. We are talking about
:22:45. > :22:48.serious amounts of money, taxpayers' money. It should be
:22:49. > :22:57.distributed fairly. The process is ongoing and IM involved in that
:22:58. > :23:01.process. As you will be aware, I remain committed to relocating my

:23:10. > :23:11.up-to-date with developments. My permanent secretary has recently
:23:12. > :23:21.written to all staff in the Department to keep them informed.
:23:22. > :23:29.Further updates will be given as required. Could we have an estimate
:23:30. > :23:39.of the number of Steph that are unable or unprepared to move to the
:23:40. > :23:43.north-west question mark staff. The member will be aware, I do not have
:23:44. > :23:51.the exact figures, when we did the initial staff survey, we did them in
:23:52. > :23:56.phases. I think it was only natural but the -- that the outcome of the
:23:57. > :24:00.staff being based there for 50 years, the majority of the staff
:24:01. > :24:03.live in the surrounding area and would want to stay. That is totally
:24:04. > :24:09.acceptable. That is of course what they want. We then looked at the
:24:10. > :24:15.wider staff. That was a bigger pool of people. And that was the case
:24:16. > :24:19.whenever we came to the staff surveys for the wider civil service.
:24:20. > :24:21.I am confident there will be opportunities in terms of transfer
:24:22. > :24:25.across the civil service but also there will be enough staff to
:24:26. > :24:31.actually staff a new headquarters in Ballykelly. The last time I was in
:24:32. > :24:34.Ballykelly, it was for gross insubordination at a checkpoint. But
:24:35. > :24:39.that in no way has deterred my endeavours to go back there. Can the
:24:40. > :24:45.Minister outlined the progression which will lead to this swanky new
:24:46. > :24:49.headquarters and all the 800 jobs she has promised because I do not
:24:50. > :24:54.want to be a doubting Thomas but the minister really needs to put flesh
:24:55. > :24:59.on the bones and a short as this is for real? Well, I can absolutely
:25:00. > :25:07.assure you it is for real. Mike commit went is for real. I think you
:25:08. > :25:18.can see that. You can also see that we are moving very quickly. I think
:25:19. > :25:23.that speaks for itself and I have a commitment to make sure that we
:25:24. > :25:27.decentralise. Stephen Walker is back for me this evening with a few final
:25:28. > :25:33.thoughts. Before we go, that issue, it is not going away. No, it is not.
:25:34. > :25:37.This week we will have more evidence from the Northern Ireland affairs
:25:38. > :25:44.committee, they are meeting tomorrow. We had a lot of evidence
:25:45. > :25:47.from them last week. We had Peter Robinson and David Ford. Today, we
:25:48. > :25:53.have had a development from the chair of the Northern Ireland
:25:54. > :25:57.affairs committee. He has written to Gerry Kelly because he will not
:25:58. > :26:00.appear before the committee. Lawrence Robinson has written to
:26:01. > :26:03.Gerry Kelly to try and encourage him to take part in the proceedings. He
:26:04. > :26:06.thinks he should come forward and give evidence and he questions why
:26:07. > :26:12.Sinn Fein are prepared to give evidence to the review and are not
:26:13. > :26:18.prepared to appear before his committee. He also says that other
:26:19. > :26:21.Sinn Fein members in the past have given evidence to the Northern
:26:22. > :26:26.Ireland affairs committee. He is trying to encourage Gerry Kelly to
:26:27. > :26:30.come forward. In the meantime, more evidence at Westminster tomorrow.
:26:31. > :26:34.Yes, tomorrow we will hear evidence from the former Secretary of State,
:26:35. > :26:39.Peter Hain. Also from relatives of those who were killed in the Hyde
:26:40. > :26:42.Park bombing. Essentially, this story is coming full circle because
:26:43. > :26:47.that is where the story started with the bombing at Hyde Park. More
:26:48. > :26:50.evidence from Peter Hain tomorrow and then in the weeks ahead, there
:26:51. > :26:54.will be more evidence from high-profile political figures. We
:26:55. > :26:58.are still expecting that report by the end of this month? We are still
:26:59. > :27:03.expecting the report, the bubbly by the end of the month. Last week in
:27:04. > :27:07.the House of Commons, the Secretary of State said whilst it was expected
:27:08. > :27:11.at the end of June, it seems likely the date might slip. It might be
:27:12. > :27:17.early July. But certainly, we should be getting it in the next three or
:27:18. > :27:22.four weeks. What about the weather? A hot topic today. Yes, the hottest
:27:23. > :27:27.day of the year. Even the shop at Stormont ran out of ice cream is. In
:27:28. > :27:36.the chamber itself, the speaker was urged to relax the dress code. Would
:27:37. > :27:39.you be minded to relax the regulations on the wearing of
:27:40. > :27:47.jackets as the chamber is very warm? Members are feeling the heat. I am
:27:48. > :27:53.extremely happy to allow members to remove their jackets. We were not
:27:54. > :27:57.able to relax as you were not able to relax your dress code. And you
:27:58. > :28:03.missed out on an ice lolly. We had one brought in just for you. You are
:28:04. > :28:08.very kind. That is the closest I will get to a scoop at Stormont.
:28:09. > :28:15.Thank you very much. That is all for today. You can tune in for the
:28:16. > :28:31.sending politics this weekend. In the meantime, good night.
