People were saying, oh, well, rishi sunak will do a deal without the dup. that doesn t really work, because of course in powersharing, in northern ireland, you need the majority of unionists and the majority of nationalists to agree. and sometimes i think that that s not really understood across the uk because it is a different form of devolution. it s not the same as scotland, it s not the same as wales, it s not about majority rule. the whole point about the belfast agreement, which is 25 years old in april, was the fact that we had a power sharing arrangement. and for that to mean anything, everybody has to be not happy but content with what s going on. and what would content look like for you guys? we ve seen, haven t we, part of the stuff that s been kicked around in the last couple of weeks and months, this idea of some sort of data sharing arrangement to try and work out how you can address some of the concerns about trade between great britain and northern ireland? when you h ....

He didn t set a budget, the previous finance minister didn t set a budget. so, actually, you have to ask the question, if sinn fein are in the finance portfolio, are we actually going to have a budget? so the government are setting a budget now. it s not good. it s a real challenge for areas like education, for areas like policing. there s a real cut, and we heard today that the chief constable is saying he s going to have to cut his force down to the smallest ever in terms of the police service of northern ireland. that s not good because if you have less police, you have less policing, and the people of northern ireland will not welcome that. so it is a very good question, because if we had a devolved administration that was cohesive and working together with a common goal, then i think we would be better with devolution. but unfortunately we don t have that, because we were out of government for three years. that has caused huge difficulties in the health service. we didn t instig ....

To do what was done nearly 25 years ago and then address some of these profound concerns that you talk about afterwards, rather than the other way round, delaying what was this big moment for northern ireland with the arrival of devolution? well, look, ifully. i, as i say, was against the belfast agreement, but i accepted that the people of northern ireland voted for it in a referendum, and therefore you had to work within the confines of that. that doesn t stop me from saying, however, that the legacy of the past wasn t dealt with. we did allow prisoners free from prison. terrorists who were convicted of some of the most heinous crimes were allowed to go free. however, their victims didn t have anyjustice. they didn t have their truth. and we re still dealing with that issue today. and i think that was an imbalance that is now coming into the 25th anniversary, and is still infecting northern ireland in a very real and tangible way. ....

Getting devolution back. it s about having a cohesive government that works. it is quite weird to think we ve now had more of a conversation about that issue in this studio than has been had at stormont, because there s no one there. yes! so weird. you mentioned the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. is that agreement still in good shape? because after 25 years, you d decorate your house after 25 years, wouldn t you? ijust wonder, does the good friday agreement need some tweaks or is it ok? well, it s not about tweaks. i mean, it is in severe difficulties at this present moment in time. i worry that. i mean, i didn t support the belfast agreement back in 1998 because there were fundamental problems, as i could see, at that time, particularly with victims issues, the fact that we hadn t dealt with the legacy of the past. we re now seeing the outworkings of that, as you know, with the legacy bill that s coming forward from the government, which doesn t have support in northe ....
