Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness together faced questions from Stormont Assembly members today, for the first time since Northern Ireland's power-sharing executive was restored.

The First Minister, Mr Paisley, and Deputy First Minister, Mr McGuinness, also briefed their Assembly Scrutiny Committee on plans for a programme for government in the North.

Until today, only Mr Paisley faced questions from MLAs during Question Time on the floor of the House. Mr McGuinness will take on that role next Monday.
