DUP MP Gregory Campbell has been barred from addressing the Northern Ireland Assembly for a day for failing to apologise for an Irish language parody. Mr Campbell told BBC Radio Ulster on Tuesday: “I have nothing to apologise for and I won’t be apologising.”
He said comments made against him were “absurd and ludicrous” and he would continue to act as he had done, so long as Sinn Féin persisted with using Irish as they did in the assembly.
“I exposed the fallacy and the nonsense of people who insist on using Irish to begin every single contribution, no matter what the topic is, when most people don’t understand what they’re saying.”

Enda Kenny and Fionan Sheahan of the Irish Independent at the Dublin Web Summit this afternoon
“So it’s a case of having listened very carefully to people, acknowledged that things were not done, in all cases, in the way they should have been, and move on from there.”
Enda Kenny this morning
“I am not inclined to hold a referendum. I do think it is important here that we should look at the question of strengthening the law. Obviously no political party in Dail Eireann has a proposition to privatise Irish Water. It is already enshrined in law. It will not be privatised.”

Emily sez:
Eva shouting out to all the women (about 15% of audience) and calls on us to be mentors. Can’t remember what else she said but great legs….

My month-old bike (an orange Scott Sub 30 2012 hybrid bike)) wasstolen from outside my office in Merrion Square [Dublin] by a guy with a high viz and a black hat (to avoid the CCTV) – he’s been seen around before and this is the 3rd bike stolen from the same place. I reported it in Pearse Street and was told that there is a phenomenal amount of bikes being [stolen at the moment]…
