Attwood move onto Sinn Féin ground welcome development – Ní Chuilín

Speaking after a meeting today of the Assembly’s Social Development Committee Carál Ní Chuilín MLA said;

“It is welcome news that Social Development Minister Alex Attwood has come onto Sinn Féin ground and has accepted that he too needs to resist imposed British Tory cuts.

The obligation is on the Minister, within his department, to protect those most vulnerable within our society; it is welcome news that he has heeded the Sinn Féin call for unity within the Executive in opposing any planned cuts as a result of the British Tory Budget.

Sinn Féin are clear in our position, we must ensure that we protect the delivery of frontline services and this is of vital importance within DSD; I am glad that Alex Attwood has now come onto Sinn Féin ground in relation to this important issue.”
