Stakeholder

And so it comes to pass…. our MLAs will at last get their hands on devolved Policing & Justice powers with the OFMDFM motion proposing that ‘certain matters should cease to be reserved’. However Stormont Watchers will have to display a degree of patience as this won’t happen until the Housing Bill reaches its final stage.

To the media circus Social Development Minister Margaret Ritchie answering oral questions will be little more than a distraction before the main action gets underway again with a Procedures Committee motion on P & J.

And just when everyone thought they could go home safe in the knowledge that ‘certain matters should cease to be reserved’ a small number of MLAs will have to wait after class for an adjournment debate on education capital spend in Holywood tabled by North Down DUP MLA Peter Weir.
