In storage

Mark Devenport | 17:08 UK time, Tuesday, 27 January 2009

During the period of suspension there used to be talk about the Stormont institutions being kept in "warm storage". Now the round table the old Executive used to sit around in Room 21 has itself been carried off into storage. as previously noted here Edwin Poots has beenasking about the round table's whereabouts. He says the rectangular table which has replaced it is a piece of flat pack furniture unsuitable for an historic building.

    Yes, that excellent question 'tabled' by Mr Poots. What a great way to pass the time for the folks on the hill. I wonder if their jobs were really on the line, as many are throughout the country, would they be so interested in what type of table is used for a meeting?

    Perhaps while Mr Poots is at it he could go away with his fellow DUP MLA's and realise other things(or people to be precise) are also unsuitable for stormont?...

    Unrelated--just another daft question

    Mr J Shannon (Strangford):

    To ask the Minister of the Environment if he is aware of the decline in the numbers of house sparrows; and if his Department has made any enquiries into the issue.

    Obama gets 850BN passed to stimulate the American economy, our MLA's want to know about house sparrows.
