First Minister Michelle O’Neill has described as “incredulous” a UK government deal for a Belfast factory to supply air defence missiles to Ukraine.
The Sinn Féin vice-president said that “rather than buying weapons of war, I would rather see the money invested in public services”.
The Thales missile factory is to supply 5,000 air defence missiles to Ukraine in a deal worth up to £1.6bn, the UK government announced.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the order as he laid out a four-point plan to “reach peace and defend Ukraine”.
