Eilis O’Hanlon: Will Foster have to eat her words on Irish language?

-

Kieran Coleman: She’s eating a lot of humble pie at the minute. An Irish language act is the least of her worries now a general election is in our midst. She and Dodds will be lucky not to find themselves on the political scrapheap when it’s over. Taxi!

Paul Magee: Kieran Coleman, don’t think so. When republican­s are running Arlene into the ground, she must be doing something right.

Paul O’Hare: Paul Magee, she’s ran herself — and her party — into the ground.

Patrick Joseph: Paul Magee, wasn’t republican­s calling her a traitor last week.

Kieran Coleman: Paul Magee, well, I’m certainly no republican and I’m quite happy to run her into the ground. Or should I say, quite happy to see her run herself and her party into the ground.

Ena Davison: Kieran Coleman, I’m quite happy to run Sinn Fein into the ground. They never wanted Northern Ireland to work. Freeloadin­g at the expense of the British government. They have used the Irish language for political gains.

Keith Dunwoodie: Ena Davison, I take it the DUP can count on your vote.

Ena Davison: Keith Dunwoodie, none of your business.

Ronnie Matthews: What about eating her words on RHI?

Ian Cooke: Ronnie Matthews, so showing a willingnes­s to compromise is now known as “eating your words”? No wonder politics here is in such a mess.

Ron Ballard: Ian Cooke, she has compromise­d on nothing.

Sean McCrick: Ian Cooke, where was this compromise three years ago? There wasn’t any because the DUP thought they could have their cake and eat it. The mainland UK now knows what they are like and nobody is falling for them any longer.

Lewis Montgomery:

“Never, never, never, never.” We know how that ended up, don’t we?

Emma Nuelle: What about judging her on her actions? That would be a good start.
