Text
I congratulate the Minister, who, despite Members' charges changing continually as their "facts" are disproved, continues to call them out. They clearly are not listening to the facts, Minister; hopefully, they will listen to you now. Will you make it clear that you will not resign and that you will continue to deliver for all communities in Northern Ireland?
