All MLAs should have a budget- when it鈥檚 spent, tough. Anon

And so we descend into the usual rantings that masquerade as 'politics' in NI.... What a sorry joke but we deserve what we elected. Peter, Omagh

The expenses claims will be swept under the carpet, so much for a fresh start! Philip, Kilrea

Easy solution -听 give them a big pay rise and scrap the expenses scheme.听 Anon

It's high time these so called 'rules' that govern the expenses were revised, what a disgrace! Anon

I have to say, that as First Minister, the role should be inclusive of all and everyone. Anon

I'm a Brit on hols in lovely East Clare. Is 100 years not long enough to bury the hatchet? Mike

I'm sorry but as a teacher facing ever increasing cuts in budget, the Easter Rising commemoration is her worry!!! Anon

It's disgusting that they are comparing the Easter Rising to the brave men who fought and died for everyone's freedom. It's not a shared society for protestants, and blatant sectarianism.听 Mark, Belfast.

Hearing the bickering, squabbling and rudeness of our politicians is what makes our young people have no appetite for voting. We might as well have a class of five year olds standing for election! Anon

In this country there will never be a shared future until religion is removed from our schools. Anon

Jeffrey Donaldson needs to get out of the past听 and look to the future of Northern Ireland.听 Arlene Foster has to represent all of the community of Northern Ireland , let him remember that.听 With politicians like Jeffrey and Jim (Allister),听 Northern Ireland will be stuck in the past. Dean, Derry.

Why can we not just understand each other's culture? As a Protestant I think we should celebrate our past. Is it any wonder people including me, don't vote? Anon

Let us mourn and respect all those who died in 1916, be it from German or British bullets...it is reprehensible to twist history for political point scoring.听 Ruth, Bangor

Our charity sector is entirely dependent on Europe. Can you really see a Conservative government matching that funding if we leave?

So the only reason why NI should stay in Europe is so we can protect the hand outs. Surely we have more ambition than that? Anon

Get out of Europe, because we can trade with (the) 80million diaspora and we can start farming again and sell our products, instead of getting farm payments to stop farming. Our seas have been raped by being in the EU. Don.

If I lose my single farm payment I will be moving to Australia. End of story. John

Regardless of the financial arguments the sheer lack of democracy in Brussels is a disgrace. How can we call ourselves democrats when an unelected commission make half our laws? James

The British taxpayer has paid millions to Ireland via the EU. Murray, Belfast

The European Union is not an Economic Union, it is a political union formed to stand against the ' threat ' of the Soviet Union. Now why should we pay into that farcical waste of our money? Anon

The past is and always will be a massive part of this province. Murders, massacres and bombings to name but a few can NEVER be forgotten and frankly, shouldn't be. Jamie

The world is in uproar and we don鈥檛 live in the past WE WALLOW IN IT! Bill

NI politicians make a good living keeping us all living in the past....they are not capable of giving us a future. Anon

Would you ever tell the politicians to leave the past in the past, and whatever money it takes for court cases, put it into our healthcare, Ivan.

It's time the old politicians were voted out and a new generation elected in. Only then will the past stay in the past. Mary, Coalisland.

Protect life. Not destroy it. Women and unborn babies deserve better than a quick fix of abortion. Let鈥檚 promote a culture of life not death. Ciara, Derry

Re the abortion question. If unionists want to be part of the UK why have different laws? Anon

Who will show compassion to the unborn child?听 Anon

This issue should be dealt with by medical personnel, rather than ill -informed politicians. Anon
