Until we have got that sorted allow some kind of committee appointed by the Assembly to deal with any other problems.
At this moment politically Northern Ireland Plc is at a standstill (of course we have the Secretary of State).

Forget about someone from Westminster jumping in with a bundle of money, ie bribe us.
Those days are long gone.
It is up to us. We must find a way. We must do better.
Unfortunately I do not have an answer, but I have an idea.
I’m grasping at straws, and I do hate myself for suggesting we go over the head of elected MLAs, but when I think of how well talks were at St Andrews, how would it do for Martin McGuinness (health permitting) and Peter Robinson to talk privately to see if a way out could be found?
And if not I would ask for another election very soon because if the politicians cannot find an answer now, where we can we turn to?
Of course the DUP and Sinn Fein would need to agree or disagree to allow any talking to take place between these two former leaders.
