Sinn Fein's British Minister and Northern Irelands Education minister has hit the headlines again. Caitriona Ruane was in the media this week defending her decision to take her daughter on an official trip to Cyprus during term time. Strange i know, because she normally hasn't got the wit to speak for herself on the radio and her Party leader Gerry Adams has appointed fellow party member John O'Dowd to do all of her talking for her. Anyway, our thick as mince Education minister has gone against her own ruling that parents should not take children out of school during term time. Oh dear, a bit of hypocrisy from a Sinn Fein member you might say. Like thats never occured before with Sinn Fein? The media latched on to this news and raised hell about the 'term time' issue. If you ask me the real issue was missed altogether. Ruane was in Cyprus for a conference on, wait for it! Diversity and equality. More politically correct, multi-culti, mumbo jumbo. This was nothing more than a junket paid for again by the long suffering British tax payer. When will this scandal ever end, when will greedy ministers ever get off our backs? Why couldn't the conference have been held in London? Answer? It's raining in London! If on the other hand, the conference was about equality and diversity at a Cypriot local level, why was a British Minister getting involved ? Again the answer seems to point in the direction of a sunny little perk. It's not cricket old boy!
