Grilling Yourself
Sinn Fein's Paul Butler is the member of the Assembly Commission responsible for engaging with the wider community. Next week he has tabled an oral question asking the Commission how it plans to obtain the views of MLAs on its engagement strategy.
Officials are scratching their heads about how to handle this, as there appears to be a real possibility that the Lagan Valley MLA might have to answer his own question. Given that, in his past life as an IRA prisoner, Mr Butler was no doubt trained on withstanding questioning, this could make interesting viewing.
UPDATE: MY sources tell me the question has now been withdrawn.
