A stone marking Northern Ireland's centenary has been approved by Stormont's assembly commission, BBC News NI understands
A stone marking Northern Ireland's centenary has been given the green light by Stormont's assembly commission, BBC News NI understands.At that time it opposed the stone, arguing that it only reflected one political perspective.
Sinn Féin no longer has a representative on the assembly commission, which is typically made up of MLAs from the five largest Stormont parties.Sinn Féin was then unable to nominate a replacement MLA as a member, as the power-sharing institutions were not functioning.
"The assembly commission is a statutory body with responsibility for the grounds adjacent to Parliament Buildings," they added. For unionists, getting the green light for a centenary stone at Stormont is about rectifying a wrong.Removing John O'Dowd from the assembly commission without a pathway to replace him left Sinn Féin exposed.
