Barry painted into corner

Mark Devenport | 11:08 UK time, Tuesday, 17 February 2009

As predicted on a recent Stormont Live, Barry McElduff had to say sorry to MLAs today for breaking the Stormont Code of conduct. This followed an investigation by the over the West Tyrone MP's newspaper comments commending young republicans for painting local post boxes green. The ombudsman upheld the complaint from the DUP's Tom Buchanan that this condoned vandalism.

Thanks to Niall from Sinn Fein for pointing out that Barry has painted himself into a corner over this one.
