Jim and Tom Take It Outside

Mark Devenport | 15:24 UK time, Friday, 12 December 2008

Jim Nicholson was telling the OFMDFM Committee this morning about the shortcomings of the Executive in dealing with Europe. Then, to show how out of touch some of our local politicians are, he gave as an example an MLA's office which had contacted him about a matter the EU had dealt with three years ago.

Somewhat surprisingly, the anecdote concerned his own party colleague Tom Elliot. A ruffled Mr Elliot responded by thanking his MEP for "that demoralising message" then suggesting the two politicians could "deal with that another time".

A word of advice to Jim for the European election campaign. If you are canvassing Fermanagh, watch your step.
