3 year paid holiday then immediately vote themselves a pay rise, retain Spad gravy train, then later vote their “staff” aka family & friends a massive pay rise...in the middle of a pandemic with 100k forecast to be unemployed
“Delivery” Stormont style.

Diane Dodds after losing her MEP job & hubby his seat immediately gets coopted to the Assembly then appointed Economy Minister on £83k with no relevant quals or experience. Hubby after losing his job gets sent to the HoL to collect his £300 a day for turning up.
Little Use Pengelly after losing her seat gets appointed, with no interview, as a Spad on £70k as a consolation prize for Diane, the more senior member, getting the coopt into Lockharts seat.
Now 47% pay rise for certain office “staff”. How many of these staff are a/ family members or friends? b/ what qualifications do they have to justify £36k (50% above the NI average wage) to be a glorified letter writer? c/ On what basis/ planet is £36k appropriate for that role?
Finally consider this as no doubt some of you have already or will lose your jobs sadly: They decided to do this *knowing* some of you will lose your jobs but did it anyway. Why? Because they know they can do whatever they like and get away with it.
Stormont hasnt delivered a thing in 22yrs other than scandals, corruption and noses in the troughs for politicians, friends, family members. Its not a Government; its a trough for the political class here to exploit all while delivering nothing and being accountable for nothing.
Time to bin this shameless waste of money and system or our children will be putting up with this crap. Time to look at alternatives that can give us decent government and political class. This one simply isnt up to the job and never has been.
