HI Mark, Not only are MLAs looking for new staff but it seems that the Keeper of the House might have to start employing members of her own family to man the new outside Security arrangments. It appears that no one wants a job that comes with free chill blanes, a free flu every year, and oh, you get a free rain coat thrown in. Perhaps the Ö÷²¥´óÐã could lend the Assembly some of their own staff as when i worked there we where at least paid a proper wage unlike whats on offer up on the BIG HILL!
Is there a wee bit at the bottom that says he particularly welcomes applications from the Protestant community?
What does a Constituency Assistant do? How much do they get paid?
