Claim: Sinn Fein's manifesto for the 2022 Assembly election claims: "Unfortunately, as a result of the DUP's collapse of the Executive there remains £334 million in unallocated funds which could have gone to alleviating some of the pressures facing workers and families."
Fact-check: Did the early collapse of the Executive leave £334m public money sitting on a shelf? - FactCheckNI
Verdict: this is accurate with consideration. at least £334m in public funds for 2022-23 is currently gathering dust. no clear way to allocate this money exists without an executive in place. although some unusual bureaucratic fixes have been suggested, for now they are legally dubious, at best.
