Stormont so attractive
| 19:48 UK time, Wednesday, 18 July 2007
Well it's now official that visitor numbers at Stormont have been soaring since devolution. In one four week period there were 6,000 visitors through the doors. While in part this may be explained by the dearth of attractions in Belfast, it seems there is a political curiosity factor. People want to get a gander at our politicians. But most of the visitors are coming from east of the Bann. Lamented by Sinn Fein's Barry McElduff, among others. "Come in and pull up to the fire!"
PS I can definitely recommend the tour!

People west of the Bann have other things to worry about, like being really mental. Take Portadown as a good example - half west, half east of the Bann.
On western side we have the Garvaghy Road (and its residents), Drumcree and Carleton Street Orange Hall. Mental.
On the other hand, how many of you have heard of Ballyhannon, Kernan or Bocombra where, to quote Boris Johnson, people lead lives of blameless burgeois domesticity on the east of the river.
