Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill has accused the UK Government of having “failed” the region in terms of funding.

She insisted that the current level of funding “simply does not match the scale for the challenges facing our public services” and criticised Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for not having met and her and deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly after they wrote to him last month.
