When the DUP and Sinn Fein agree...
| 16:32 UK time, Tuesday, 10 February 2009
The DUP's Alistair Ross has issued a press statement headlined "Ruane is right shocker." He recalls her answer to a qusetion he tabled. Here is the exchange which refers to the controversy over the education minister praising IRA Hunger Striker Bobby Sands on a school visit to West Belfast.
Mr Ross asked "if it is appropriate to praise a convicted terrorist in her capacity a Minister when speaking to school children."
The minister replied: "It would not be appropriate to praise any terrorist under any circumstances."
Mr Ross declared "At last, the Minister has said something we can all agree with."
Can't see this agreement sticking somehow.....
