The Finance person I have never heard of. In a normal government finance is serious post, with an experienced person. In NI, SF seem to think ministries should be shuffled around for some other objective other than experience.

Caoimhe Archibald has a PhD, had a high profile in previous finance committee and was a regular in the media

In a normal country the person in charge of Finance is a groupthinker who follows the rules and never thinks. Every so often the shit hits the fan and he or she has no idea what to do.

Paschal is probably going to emulate Brian Cowen in the next 18 months
