Mr Harris’s visit to Stormont Castle had an unpromising start when First Minister Michelle O’Neill and Ms Little-Pengelly were not outside the building to officially welcome him as his car arrived.After standing at the bottom of the steps for a few moments, Mr Harris then entered the building only to emerge shortly after with the two Stormont leaders to pose for photographs.
She said: “I am very glad he has taken the opportunity to be here early in his tenure to talk about the areas of shared collaboration, partnership working, particularly around areas that the Irish Government have already identified, particularly around the Shared Island Fund. The DUP’s Ms Little-Pengelly said: “We highlighted the fact that perhaps relationships, particularly between unionism and the Taoiseach’s office have not always been good in the last number of years.
