Mr O'Toole asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, after stating that, amidst the political rows about extraneous matters and the toxic division here, public-sector workers still do not know, because there is no Budget, when they will get a pay rise and that, in the South, such workers are striking and standing on picket lines with the First Minister's party colleagues, whether the First Minister agrees that our public-sector workers deserve better from the Executive and the UK Government and to confirm when they will get their pay rise.
