“the motion hasn’t gone away you know!..”

Apparently, now that we are in May and with the deputy First Minister pointing at “Ian junior”, Sinn Féin member, and blogger, Chris Gaskin wants to know what ‘Plan B’ is too. I wouldn’t necessarily hold my breath if I was him. ANYhoo.. As Chris says here

“Now I bring this up because the 8th of May has come to pass and I have yet to see a public statement on this matter from Sinn Féin. I’m sure that Republican’s and others are waiting for a response from the Ard Chomhairle, an Ard Chomharle that has been mandated to do so by the supreme governing body of Sinn Féin. Let’s hope we get an answer soon; the motion hasn’t gone away you know!”

That Ard Fheis motion again

“This Ard Fheis mandates the Ard Chomhairle to set out, in public, the party’s position in relation to our involvement in the current policing structures should the British Government fail to devolve policing and justice powers by the 8th May 2008.”

As I said at the time

We’ll have to wait to see what the SF leadership has to say at that point..

But, of course, it’s not within the gift of the “British Government”..

Not that the Sinn Fein leadership don’t realise that..
