Strabane Live
Some guffawing from DUP MLAs as a senior ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ executive demonstrated the corporation's new service in the Member's Dining Room on Wednesday. A test search on the words "North West" brought up Sinn Fein's talking in Tuesday's debate on the need for special economic treatment for the area.
Apart from talking about the "North West", Ms McGill said "Strabane" rather a lot. It turned out she said it seven times. The DUP MLAs knew as they had been running a sweepstake on how many times the town would get a mention. I'm told Simon Hamilton came closest with eight. And when Jim Shannon let Claire McGill know what had been going on she told him she'd learned her tactic by listening to how often he worked the name of his Strangford constituency into all his Assembly utterances.
