Two Firsts

Mark Devenport | 21:47 UK time, Friday, 3 April 2009

I'm getting ready to spend this Sunday at work, presenting the first Inside Politics to be broadcast in its new slot, at five minutes past one. The programme will be ten minutes longer, and will include some live discussion with two guests and a Westminster diary piece from our political reporter Stephen Walker.

Stormontspy, I like your idea of the blog providing an opportunity for people to suggest questions. However that would depend on me knowing who my political guest is some time in advance of recording the interview. And that is rarely the case. But when possible we shall try it. During the run up to the European election, for example, we are likely to schedule slots for candidates in advance, and that should provide an opportunity for suggesting questions.

So far as this weekend is concerned, I have my political interview "in the can". But I wasn't sure I'd get it until a few hours before the recording. Appropriately, given that this is the first "Inside Politics" on a Sunday, we have another first for you, the First Minister Peter Robinson.

To hear his thoughts on the economy, dissident violence, devolving justice and other matters, tune in to the programme straight after the One o'clock news on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio Ulster this Sunday.
