Following Iris's example

Mark Devenport | 12:17 UK time, Tuesday, 16 March 2010

Jonathan Bell, the DUP's replacement for Iris Robinson in Strangford, followed her example last night when he got thrown out of the chamber by the Deputy Speaker John Dallat after accusing Caitriona Ruane of misleading the Assembly over the vexed issue of prep schools. At one point the Deputy Speaker halted proceedings to reprimand spectators ion the gallery for making too much noise, which prompted Ian Paisley to defend them on the grounds they were ignorant of the ruling. David McNarry broke into impromptu Ulster Scots telling the Deputy Speaker "Och, Go Away!" We'll have more on the rumbustious debate on this afternoon's Stormont Live.
