Sinn Fein Bigotry Costs the Tax Payer £150,000
22 November 2012
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“I congratulate Alan Lennon in winning his case against the Department of Regional Development and wholeheartedly agree with him that the level of compensation which he has received reflects the “seriousness of the flaws” in the appointment process.
“His case has exposed the blatant sectarianism of Sinn Fein/IRA and demonstrated in graphic terms why Republicans are completely unsuitable for government.
“Murphy’s evidence was rightly dismissed by the Tribunal as “implausible” and lacking in credibility. Small wonder when, under cross-examination, he denied knowing the religious background of Sean Hogan from Newry!
“Because of Sinn Fein’s bigotry the hard-pressed taxpayer of Northern Ireland will not just have to meet the cost of the damages awarded to Mr Lennon but also the substantial legal costs.
“Since the judgment I have exposed that a similar anti-Protestant trend is evident in other Sinn Fein departments when it comes to Ministerial appointments. In no other country would a party be allowed to remain in office after such a devastating exposure of their sectarianism. Those who day and daily sustain Republicans in government have a lot to answer for”.
