The hacks were into Stormont Castle early on Thursday morning.

Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness briefing us on what is ahead.

Pretty interesting it was as well.

On the PMS they outlined three options.

First would be a commercial solution, secondly what the First minister called a Northern Ireland solution which would need treasury approval and finally, if all else fails a hardship fund.

The First and Deputy First Ministers are well aware it is the unprotected £20,000 or less savers who are hurting badly.

Another meeting with the Prime Minister is planned for the next fortnight.

As for the Washington Investment Conference it will now take place in the autumn.

Good progress is being made by the parades sub committee and a report is expected next Tuesday.

Both are confident of real progress and say they want the support of all the parties.

So what of education?

The Ulster Unionists say this is crucial for their support.

But the First and Deputy First Ministers says they may have to agree to disagree.

I expect we will hear more of this issue in the days ahead.

The clock is clicking fast towards the big Assembly vote on March 9.

PMS is a sad discussion from all points. The math is simple, as is the principal concept of the loan. You gave your neighbor 20 on Tuesday with the agreement that you would receive it on Thursday. You should have no worries. Clearly you did not lend money to the government. The loan was to your neighbor, with an agreement in good faith. Unless your neighbor was underwritten, the government did not default?
