According to Jim Gibney writing in the Irish News [subs req until tomorrow]
The DUP’s attitude to the transfer of policing and justice powers to the executive is unacceptable to republicans as is their attitude to the Commission for Victims and Survivors bill and act na Gaeilge, an Irish language act. Their threat to block plans to end academic selection, to relocate the proposed new stadium from the agreed site at Maze/Long Kesh, their opposition to a bill of rights are all signs that the DUP have only partially bought into sharing power with nationalists and republicans.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
