Whilst their ministers are battling over nomenclature, Sinn Fein and the DUP's West Tyrone MLAs are clashing over the colour of the local post boxes. On the eve of a Royal Black Preceptory parade, the DUP's Tom Buchanan complains that not only have "Republican vandals" painted the post boxes in Strabane and Sion Mills green, but Sinn Fein's Barry McElduff has commended them for their actions.

"No amount of green postboxes" says Tom "will hide the fact that Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and will remain so.....Is Mr McElduff prepared to arrange for the repair of public property and will he foot the bill to have these repairs carried out?"

And was the paint paid for out of the budget for the Regional Development Strategy?
