Showing how well Stormont can work
Published Date:

MANY hard-pressed farmers will give a huge sigh of relief after the Minister for the Environment stepped in quickly to avert a disaster for the rivers, loughs, etc.
If the farmers had not received more time to spread animal slurry on their land, it would have been a case of dumping, not spreading, which is the very thing people do not want.
It is good to have our own home-grown government ministers to deal rapidly in cases such as this.
Jim Allister and his supporters, who I understand mean well politically, should accept the political situation and work to return a democratic government at Stormont.
Direct Rule ministers have not got the local knowledge to understand either the weather or the politics of Northern Ireland.
