Text

Thank you, deputy First Minister. It is a year since the Executive were restored, and, last week, the High Court in Belfast said that the Executive's lack of an anti-poverty strategy was appalling. Thousands of children across Northern Ireland today are using food banks, deputy First Minister. Are you ashamed that the strategy has not yet been brought forward, and when do you believe it will be?
