Episode 2 - Fish (and eggs) on Friday
On the 2nd of December 2024, it will be
exactly 25 years since legislative powers and executive authorities were devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly. But what were things really like back in 1999?
Paul Moore - a civil servant seconded to a job ‘up the hill’ the week before devolution - was surprised to be working with Ian Paisley. In this episode, he sees first-hand how badly the DUP leader’s decision to work in a Committee alongside Sinn Fein MLAs has gone down with some of his erstwhile supporters.
Paul has adapted these episodes from his book: ‘Doctor
Paisley and Mister Clerk – Recollections of Ian Paisley’s Agriculture Committee Years’ which is available in paperback and e-book formats from amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.eu/d/89Lkwxq
