Well it's been a big week in politics. Peter Robinson announcing his retirement and of course the DUP-Sinn Fein agreement reached after 10 weeks of talks to save the Assembly. The deal called A Fresh Start has been welcomed by church leaders, business people and even the Obama administration. But there have been strong words of criticism from trade unions. Carmel Gates, President of NIPSA, N Ireland's biggest union - says the deal will bring a new round of cuts, job losses and poorer public services. Carmel and Nigel Smyth from CBI join Nolan.
