DUP blocking Good Jobs Bill at the Executive under the guise of "scrutiny" is a delay tactic
The Economy Committee is literally the place for legislative scrutiny
Blocking it behind closed doors isn't about improving the bill, it's about blocking workers' rights by the backdoor
Sinn Fein out attacking the DUP AGAIN...!! Surprise, surprise!
A positive visit to Carryduff on one of the Executive agreed transformation projects just announced - EPharmacy - this will transform prescriptions and other services including introducing e-perscriptions.
Back in the car to see Sinn Fein attacks...again! ๐...
Let's be clear - we are being asked to agree proposals in the Executive. That WILL mean scrutiny and I will take the time to do that. The Sinn Fein Minister sat on this in the Department for 2 and a half years, we have had it a few weeks.
I will always discharge my duty to scrutinise and ask questions on proposals. I have a meeting set up on Monday with Economy officials - the Sinn Fein Minister is aware of that.
The big question for Sinn Fein to answer is why there is not a single business out in support of this bill?
