A regional political summit took place in Cardiff where nationalist parties discussed past wealth and regional finances. During the summit, Finance Minister Caoimhe Archibald announced £63 in energy support for households in Northern Ireland. The reports noted that most funding for Northern Ireland comes from the Treasury, as local tax receipts cover only 60% of outgoings.
