Monica McWilliams should resign - MEP
13 November 2008
Statement by TUV Leader Jim Allister MEP:
"When the highest court in the land, the House of Lords, makes a stinging criticism of a publicly funded body and finds it guilty of time-wasting, then public accountability should dictate that heads should roll. So instead of trying to defend the indefensible, Monica McWilliams should resign as Chief Commissioner following today's denunciation of the Human Rights Commission in the Holy Cross case. I call on her to do so.
The wanton support of the Commission of a case rejected not once, nor twice but three times, as it progressed up through the hierarchy of the courts, shows gross lack of judgement and suggests the Commission, blinkered by its own prejudice, was playing politics. Every court involved has rejected the Commission's jaundiced view of human rights, demonstrating that the Commission, supposed experts, are utterly unsuited to their task."
