Remember the £1 billion Conservative-DUP deal?

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Remember the £1 billion Conservative-DUP deal?

The secretary of state announced yesterday the first £50m to go to health and education.

Remember the £1 billion Conservative-DUP deal? The secretary of state announced yesterday the first £50m is to go to health and education.

£50 million from the £1 billion deal agreed between the Conservatives and the DUP will be released in this financial year. But is it too little too late? The Northern Ireland budget bill is to go before the House of Lords later today. The bill passed through the House of Commons yesterday, backed by all parties without a vote. Secretary of state James Brokenshire said that public services would begin to run out of money if a budget was not in place by the end of November. Mr Brokenshire also released a very small part of the £1 billion deal that the DUP struck with Theresa May five months ago. But where is the rest of the money which Northern Ireland so desperately needs?

Stephen spoke to BBC NI business and economics editor John Campbell, Sinn Fein's Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, SDLP MLA Colin McGrath, Patricia McKeown from Unison and Justin McCamphill from teaching union NASUWT.

Also on the programme, a new report says people in Belfast want more dedicated bike lanes, even if it means less space for other road users.

And, can the Republic make it to the World Cup? Nolan gets the views of former Republic of Ireland international Mark Lawrenson.
