Unfortunately, the agreement signed in Stormont is called A Fresh Start: The Stormont Agreement and Implementation Plan but it is not a fresh start for the ordinary people of Northern Ireland. It is a continuation of the sectarian politics that...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland Issues (24 Nov 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: I am just finishing now. They will take place in education, health and justice. "Structural reform" is troika language for major cuts.
