Summary
In this episode of Stormont Sources, David McCann, Tim Cairns, and Michael McKernan go inside the chamber to discuss the latest political developments at Stormont. We take a closer look into Danny Baker’s Holiday Hunger Bill discussing whether it is a vital lifeline for 90,000 children, or a fiscally "irresponsible" use of a Private Member’s Bill? The panel also explores the tension between Education Minister Paul Givan and the bill’s supporters, while also raising questions as to whether the Assembly’s legislative process needs a more “Westminster-style” approach. Throughout the second half, the panel responds to our listeners' questions. DUP vs Sinn Féin: Are the DUP outperforming Sinn Féin ministers in the Executive? The Micheál Martin Factor: How does the Taoiseach’s "Shared Island" approach compare to previous leaders? Constitutional Debates: Does reconciliation need to come first before a United Ireland?
