SINN Féin MLA Raymond McCartney has said the SDLP is not even in control of the opposition never mind anything else.
He was responding to criticism from the SDLP about the appointment of the Justice Minister, East Derry MLA Claire Sugden.
Raymond McCartney said; “This is rich coming from a so-called nationalist party who expressed no interest in the department of justice, health, education, the economy, communities or anything else.
“We are in control of Finance, Health, and Infrastructure and Martin McGuinness is a co-equal First Minister.
“The SDLP are not even in control of opposition.
“We will not take any lectures from a party which has walked away from its responsibilities and which is making no positive contribution.”
