The Gerry Mander Way

Mark Devenport | 17:52 UK time, Thursday, 17 September 2009

The Environment Minister Edwin Poots proudly launched the new route of the Ulster Way this week together with an accompanying website.

But Sinn Fein's Paul Maskey was not impressed pointing out that "instead of expanding and enhancing the Ulster Way to bring in three extremely picturesque counties of Ulster, namely Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan, anyone lifting a map of the Ulster Way will see that the route actually walks along the borders of these counties and not once does it enter them."

Ah, that old chestnut. Edwin and Paul should get together, pull on some thick socks and sturdy boots, and chew that one over whilst munching on a cheese sandwich somewhere near the top of Slieve Donard.

    Dear old Edwin!
    Just hasn't been on his game since the Maze stadium fell down !!!

    What an opportunity he has missed !!!
    He should have taken Paul,their cheese sarnies and Ulster flags,
    and planted them in the middle of the "3 missing counties"
