Ever
hear of Paul Gorecki?
By Brian Feeney
What are politicians here doing about it? What are they doing to make New
TSN work? What data have they asked officials to collect or when have they
last asked any official to collect any data? Do they know how community
differentials are being measured or even if they're being properly measured?
Do they know that the term 'social need' hasn't been properly defined? If
they know any of the answers or have done anything about it why haven't
they made it public? Why haven't they made the NIO explain who pays for
New TSN or how they work out how much should be spent on it? What do parties
here believe (nearly wrote 'think' again) the amounts should be? If they
don't know why don't they? After all there are 108 of them inside Stormont
doing absolutely nothing.
You didn't assume the assembly meets or anything did you? You do realise
they're being paid salary and expenses for nothing? Here's the rub. Just
suppose the assembly part of the agreement had ever been implemented, these
characters would have been running the place. Is there any evidence they'd
have been any different from the members of the current British administration?
Or would the same officials just be handing different ministers the same
oul' rope? |
