Non sono il vice, dice McGuinness

I’m not the deputy – McGuinness

Martin McGuinnessTHE recent personal tensions between the DUP and Sinn Fein erupted in public yesterday.

Shortly after telling reporters that he had been “bending over backwards” to form a relationship with Peter Robinson, Martin McGuinness fielded questions to the Office of the First and Deputy First Ministers in the Assembly.

Responding to a question from DUP Assemblyman Simon Hamilton, who, in his question, described Mr McGuinness as “the deputy”, Mr McGuinness visibly bristled.

To cries of “Oh!”, Mr McGuinness said: “First of all, I’m not the deputy.

“I’m the Deputy First Minister in a department where there is equality between the First Minister and myself. And don’t you ever forget it.”

As he spoke, Mr Robinson watched on from his party’s back bench.
