尽管恢复了权力分享,北爱尔兰领导人仍因未能兑现主要承诺而面临批评。 Northern Ireland's leaders face criticism for failing to deliver on key promises despite restored power-sharing.

北爱尔兰分权政府恢复执政两年后, 反对党领袖马修·奥图尔(Matthew O'Toole)批评第一部长米歇尔·奥尼尔(Michelle O’Neill)和副第一副部长艾玛·利特-彭盖利(Emma Little-Pengelly)未能兑现包括儿童保育、儿童减贫、社会住房和废水基础设施等重要承诺。 Two years after Northern Ireland’s devolved government resumed, opposition leader Matthew O’Toole criticized First Minister Michelle O’Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly for failing to deliver on key promises including childcare, child poverty reduction, social housing, and wastewater infrastructure. 尽管2024年恢复了权力分享,但双方领导人没有举行联合媒体采访,强调目前的合作问题。 Despite the 2024 restoration of power-sharing, the leaders have not held a joint media interview, underscoring ongoing cooperation issues. O'Toole谴责公共争端和表现姿态的政治文化,称这种文化未能为公众服务,敦促进行系统性改革,将提供服务置于党派冲突之上。 O’Toole condemned the political culture of public disputes and performative gestures, calling it a failure to serve the public and urging systemic reforms to prioritize service delivery over partisan conflict.
