Poots’ comments are a disgrace and misleading – Sheerin

Sinn Féin MLA Emma Sheerin has branded comments by the DUP’s Edwin Poots ‘an absolute disgrace and entirely misleading’. 

The Mid Ulster MLA said:

“Edwin Poots’ comments are an absolute disgrace and entirely misleading.

“The evidence of the rise of COVID-19 infections is all around us and is claiming lives right across the world.

“Today two more people tragically lost their lives, we had 1,299 new cases, more than 200 people are in hospitals with COVID and 20 are on ventilators as pressure continues to mount on our health service and health workers. 

“Sinn Féin’s focus is on working with the other Executive parties, including the DUP, to tackle this emergency situation.

“That should be Edwin Poots’ focus instead of trying to politicise and sectarianise the issue.”

I welcome tonight’s statement from the Ceann Comhairle and her acceptance of the position set out by Sinn Féin and the combined Opposition - you cannot be in government and opposition at the same time.

This was a stroke too far on the back of a grubby deal and everyone knows…

One year ago today, history was made as I took up the position of First Minister.

Every day since, I’ve worked to ensure all our people are fairly represented and to meet the needs and aspirations of workers, families and communities.

I remain determined to do everything I can…
