NI Finance Minister conormurphysf warns that Stormont is facing a £660m overspend as the costofliving crisis bites
in protest at the Northern Ireland Protocol.
He added that the position has been "exacerbated by the lack of an executive-agreed budget to help planning, constrain departmental spending and inform decision-making and prioritisation". Mr Murphy said that in the absence of an executive, this had been the only possible approach to avoid services being unnecessarily affected when there remained significant funding which could not be allocated.
The largest overspends are being forecast for the departments of health and education. They face the additional costs of funding nationally-agreed pay deals.
