Alliance Slams UUP Leader Mike Nesbitt
The Alliance Party has slammed UUP Leader Mike Nesbitt for speaking to the press claiming Alliance had been offered the Justice ministry.
The party's Chief Whip Stewart Dickson accused Mr Nesbitt of rushing from a meeting at Stormont Castle to speak to the media and said it shows the "flippant attitude" of the UUP towards the talks and their level of commitment.
Mr Dickson said: "The UUP haven't yet declared whether they will be in the Executive or not. Unlike others, Alliance attended this morning's talks with the correct attitude and willingness to get a result for the people of Northern Ireland, rather than a few headlines."
