RT by @JonTonge: Coming up on View From Stormont:
Reaction to the High court decision to halt the A Five project - because it does not comply with Northern Ireland's climate change targets. I'll be joined by the Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins and representatives of some of the parties.
Also tonight, Nathan Hanna has a special report on the state of Infrastructure here; we ask how projects can be speeded up and what needs to be done to make government more efficent.
We'll also be speaking to former senior civil servant Ann Watt, the director of Pivotal, whose latest report says what we have at Stormont is policy paralysis.
And what impact could the prospect of Reform UK standing candidates in Northern Ireland have on local politics? We hear the latest on that from the Belfast Telegraph's Political Editor Suzanne Breen; and Professor Jon Tonge from the University of Liverpool.
