Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly described discussions with Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris, pictured, as ‘constructive’ “We’re committed to transformation, doing things better, actually delivering our services better,” Ms O’Neill told reporters after meeting Mr Heaton-Harris.
