A rotating lunch

Mark Devenport | 16:38 UK time, Tuesday, 25 November 2008

Journalists were summonsed to a lunch today to meet our 3 MEPs to discuss forthcoming European issues. But how would the MEPs interact, given Jim Allister's frosty relationship with Bairbre De Brun?

The solution appears to have drawn on the old "proximity talks" format with the journalists seated at three different tables, and the MEPs shuttling between them. My colleague Martina Purdy had Jim Nicholson for main course, Jim Allister for dessert and Bairbre De Brun for coffee. We always said she had a healthy appetite.

Martina has more on the runners and riders for next year's European election on Good Morning Ulster, ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Newsline and the main ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ news website tomorrow.
