Farrell – DUP denying working people financial support

SDLP Ballyarnett councillor Rory Farrell

SDLP Councillor Rory Farrell has said that working people “won’t get a penny in support” until the DUP return to government.

Speaking at Council’s Health & Community committee in a debate on the cost of living crisis, the Ballyarnett representative said: “In Britain they have introduced a £400 universal payment to provide support for energy bills. And lo and behold, that can’t be delivered here because we don’t have a government.

“And we don’t have a government because the DUP cannot accept that they’re going to play second fiddle to a nationalist. They’re saying it’s about the protocol, but we all know that’s lies.

“People who are paying taxes on a daily and weekly basis who never get a penny in support won’t get a penny in support until the DUP grow up and go back into government.

“So, the DUP have a decision to make here, because people are suffering and they will continue to suffer until they return to work at Stormont.”

Cllr Farrell concluded: “And we’ve got £435 million in Stormont that we don’t know what we’re going to do with.

“It needs to be spent, it needs to go into people’s pockets.

“And it’s going nowhere, it’s gathering dust in Stormont and that needs to change.”
