  • Serious process or publicity stunt?

    Posted on October 14th, 2009 Conall McDevitt 1 comment

    What is the difference between serious talks and a publicity stunt?

    None according to Sinn Fein!

    They have dismissed today’s talks between the SDLP, UUP, Alliance and DUP on the future of education in the North as a publicity stunt. Its not clear whether there problem is that the Belfast Telegraph was involved in the process which led to today’s meeting or whether they simply do not believe there is a crisis which needs talked about in the first place.

    Last week Caitriona Ruane claimed parents were not worried about the current deregulated system. Many will wonder if she is referring to parents in Northern Ireland or parents in Disney Land?

     

    One response to “Serious process or publicity stunt?”

    1. Fearghal O Boyle

      Perhaps she means parents working in Northern Ireland but educating their kids in the south?
