Another Historic Deadline
25/03/07 22:31 Filed in: Politics
Tomorrow
marks the day where Northern Ireland will finally get
executive it was promised almost nine years ago - or
maybe not. The DUP have said that they aren't quite
ready to go into power with Sinn Féin just yet and
have asked for a further six weeks. What's six weeks
when we have been waiting nine years, after all?
The DUP should be told on no uncertain terms that the deadline set for tomorrow is unchangeable. For too long the people of Northern Ireland have been promised "jam tomorrow" in respect of the devolution they voted to endorse back in 1998. The parties have played around, and deadlines have come and go, so it is only right that the gravy train should come to a halt.
It's time to piss or get off the pot. Devolved administration or direct rule. Make your minds up.
