Assembly New Speak

Now that Sinn Féin have embraced policing, Paisley and ping pong, and have firmly established themselves as the biggest second biggest party in Northern Ireland, they have also decided to introduce their own parliamentary language that reflects their Belfast roots. Their member, Carál Ní Chuilín (she must be French), began this when in the first debate of the Brand Spanking New and Improved Assembly, she said:

"Take a wee lie down, Danny."

Now it may be hard following Ulster Scots, but Belfast spake can be a real toughy, so we have thrown together a list of terms you may hear more and more within the chamber at Stormont, especially from the first person to wear a hoody in the assembly, Sue Ramsey Street.
