Time for Amateur Poots to go
05 October 2010
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“Any minister who has to be rebuked by a Lord Justice on two successive days is clearly not fit for office. The Environment Minister’s position is completely untenable, having been found by one of the highest judges in the land as responsible for a “lamentable” situation.
"Minister Poots now says he is looking for a way to disengage from the planning process over the John Lewis application. There is a very obvious way he can and should disengage - resign.
“Ministers should know better than to wade in with loaded comments directly relating to on-going legal proceedings. Poots should go and go now.”.
