0:00.0 | It's our last regular red lines of the season, and we've decided to look forward rather than back as we reach the end of another long political year. |
0:08.2 | And don't worry, I'll also have details of some special programmes coming up over the summer. |
0:12.7 | So where is politics heading in the next 12 months at Stormont, at Westminster and in Dublin? |
