CARVE UP

The circus resumes soon at the Assembly with much media speculation on which parties will take the education and health ministries. The Irish News today speculated in its front page story that the DUP is set to take over education - a prospect that should chill the blood of anyone hoping for the creation of a comprehensive education system. One name being touted as the new minister for education is the DUP's Mervyn Storey - an avowed believer in the theory of creation - the farce at the big house on the hill is set to get worse, much worse.
