Arlene Foster refused to echo Martin McGuinness’s call for Dee Stitt to reconsider his role as Chief Executive with Charter NI.
The organisation and indeed the Executive is facing greatly increased pressure over the ongoing Charter NI debacle and the Social Investment Fund as a whole.
Arlene Foster said, “This man is an employee of Charter NI and they have to deal with him as they see fit, it would be wrong for me to intervene in all of the different organisations that exist across Northern Ireland.”
Except,
DUP’s Jimmy Spratt calls on Patrick Yu to resign.
DUP’s Paula Bradley calls on Jennifer McCann to resign.
DUP call for David Trimble to resign.
DUP’s Jim Shannon calls for Mary McArdle to resign.
DUP call for Peter Hain to resign.
DUP’s Ian McCrea calls on Francie Molloy to resign.
And the First Minister herself isn’t averse to making suggestions or calls on employment matters outside of her control…
Arlene Foster calls for Máirtín Ó Muilleoir to step aside.
But once again, Arlene Foster said, “…it would be wrong for me to intervene in all of the different organisations that exist across Northern Ireland.”
