We discuss the critical need for a focus on delivery and improving public services, emphasising the importance of opposition in holding governing parties accountable. 

Matthew sheds light on the challenges faced by the opposition in Northern Ireland, including limited resources and media attention, and shares strategies for effective scrutiny of the executive's legislative agenda.
