The £600 energy payment for Northern Ireland could still be rolling out in June 2023, an MLA has claimed.
Alliance leader Naomi Long said she was told by civil servants that the emergency winter payment to help with the rising cost of living could still be rolling out next summer if it continues as planned with the option of cashing out energy payments.
The payment was at the top of the agenda, along with the Northern Ireland protocol, when Stormont's five main parties met Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Thursday evening.
