The latest revelations about the sale of NAMA`s assets in Northern Ireland calls into question the judgement of those at the very heart of Northern Ireland`s political institutions, UUP leader Mike Nesbitt has said.

“If I did not think I could do better, lead better and be better motivated by the desire to serve the public good, my reaction would be to wrap up the devolution experiment - but I do not believe this is as good as it gets and better is possible,” said Mr Nesbitt.

“As to Sammy Wilson’s dismissal of journalism, isn’t he the man who privately and without consultation refused to update Northern Ireland’s laws of defamation, making it easier to muzzle the media here than in Great Britain? What more do you need to know? Nothing about the DUP’s motivation but everything about what they actually did.
