Good to see nonetheless. Craigavon has a sizeable Nationalist population and it is only now that a SF cllr gets one of the top posts.

Particularly pleasing to see the collective hissy fits from the DUP cllrs; aghast that the UUP have 'done a deal' with SF instead of doing it with them  - they mustn't pay too much attention  to what the current set up is in Stormont  ;D ;D

All phoney, an  opportunity for DUP to score points over UUP. Was at a reception a few years ago ( no media in attendance) when the DUP mayor of Craigavon addressed visitors from the twin town of Ballina in Irish much to the gentle mirth of UUP councillors in attendance,who realised they'd been outflanked. ;D
