It's the last regular red lines of the run and we're looking back on some of the big issues that have dominated the political agenda over the past six months to a year at Stormont, at Westminster and in Dublin.

We'll not manage to talk about everything, of course, but we'll do our best to touch on as much as possible.

executive has delivered, the lack of delivery.
