Michelle O’Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly’s appearance before the Executive Office scrutiny committee descended into heated exchanges and name-calling on Wednesday afternoon.
At one stage the First Minister hit out at the TUV’s Timothy Gaston’s “nonsense” that led to him being suspended from the Assembly for two days, stating: “I’m your First Minister whether you like it or not”.
