Diary of Mr Poots

Mark Devenport | 21:18 UK time, Wednesday, 11 July 2007

I bumped into Edwin Poots at Stormont this afternoon, on his way out from an Executive meeting to discuss next week’s summit with Gordon Brown. The Culture Minister is at the centre of a storm about whether his party has muzzled him over the proposed multi sports stadium at the Maze. However he seemed relaxed, just back from a break in the USA. The minister confirmed that he intends to appear before a special meeting of the Culture Committee scheduled for July 24th, in which members will return from their summer break to concentrate on the controversy over the Maze. The DUP are currently avoiding questions about the project, but it will be hard for Mr Poots to duck and weave throughout the special session of the scrutiny committee which is expected to take place on camera in the Senate chamber.

I think you made a mistake in this Blog; surely β€œon camera” should read β€œin camera”.

Nigel Dodds and Peter Robinson have got a gun in Edwins back, but Dr Paisley said he supported th Maze project instead of the Belfast stadium, so maybe Paisley and Poots are the ones who are holding the guns in Dodds and Robinsons backs?
