Text
There is no doubt that the Executive, and every Minister, face enormous challenges as a result of years of underfunding, austerity Budgets and crushed public services. Every Minister at that Executive table is there to do their best and to try to work, through a collective effort, to address the challenges that we face. Will we do everything immediately? No, we will not. Can we lay strong foundations upon which to build? Yes, we can, and I believe that that is what we have done in the first year. I am certainly committed to doing that. I am determined to try our very best to deliver for people, and I think that we have made good strides forward. However, we will absolutely always have more to do. That is the job of government. We are here to govern and to try to deliver for people.
