Protestant­s and men in demand at Northern Ireland Civil Service

-

Reinis Babrovskis No, they should be looking for workers, so we don’t have these articles about homelessne­ss, depression, etc. It is 2019. Wake up. Give anybody a job who is capable of doing it, has the skills and wants to work.

Tiernan Murray As one unionist minister said in Stormont in the 1930s: “Our task is to find men for the jobs, not jobs for the men.” Unless, of course, in this case, the only factor

in play is religion.

Nichola Davidson Wise up. Can people not move with the times? This country is doomed.

Kerry Cooper How sad they aren’t just looking for the best person for the job. I guess the gender neutral memo doesn’t seem to have reached the human resources department.

Alan Deyermond After many years of positive discrimina­tion, it has come down to this.

Mark Brown Willing to rejoin the NICS (now they’re willing to look in a certain direction).

Laura McAlinden They should be looking for the right candidates for the job.

Annemarie Thompson

That would make sense. The shipyard, Shorts, etc, are not so promising anymore.

Nolene-Patricia Dougan I knew, if you guys just hung in there, your time would come again.

Mary Elliott Nelis Whatever happened to equality legislatio­n?

Gary Anderson The way it

should be.

Martin McAleer I’ll be whatever you need.

Berni McCrory Sorry, what year do we live in again?

Alanna Starrett Well,

that’s me out.

John O’Hara Best person for the job. Everytime.

John Adams Was this headline taken from a 1920s paper?

Phil Gourley Do you get paid to stay at home for three years?

Chris Stephens Welcome to 2019, where you must be a Protestant before you apply.
