Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

Hard to know on this one,can understand why the Shinners reacted the way they did but maybe if she had been ignored  she would have went away although I doubt it going on her past performances.Thinks its a case of damned if you do and damned if you dont.

Oh I agree that it shouldn't have been worn,just wonder it she had been ignored on the night and it dealt with at a later date.

That would have been the correct approach. Jim didn't need to make it an issue on the night, just a quiet complaint to the appropriate standards / equality committee. Deprive her of the oxygen of publicity.

My point exactly.

Play the game smarter, if Ruth is outmaneuvering you, then you need to have a word with yourself.

Ouch!

Shinners don't seem to have anyone smart in leadership positions at the moment below McGuinness. Alex Maskey had his ass handed to him time and time again on spotlight last night. He couldn't even point out the obvious and let Big Dollie beat the crap out of him.

But why should he do that? It should have been dealt with at the time by the meeting chair (As in asking her to remove it). What good is a quiet complaint after the event. Put the spot light on her behaviour. I'm no massive fan of Jim McVeigh but he was well justified in making the complaint. I personally don't believe he was outmaneuvering by anyone. Every attempt at petty oneman-upship like this from either side should be highlighted and condemned, otherwise it doesn't change.

To be fair he was always going to be on a hiding to nothing here but yes, he did get a serious kicking alright.

In fairness to Alex Maskey, and to a lesser extent Gerry Kelly, he s always sent out to bat in just about every TV appearance when a SF rep is needed. Is nobody else allowed to speak ?

Capture this moment. I'm agreeing with glens abu. And on the SF thread!

I also wonder how this incident would have panned out in O'Mulleoir had been in the Chair at the time.

That's exactly what she wants. And what she got.
