Newton Emerson: The solution to the next Stormont collapse? Keep calm and carry on (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE Drumcree dispute âbrings into question how this whole peace process worksâ, Michelle OâNeill said on Sunday, while standing on the Garvaghy Road. Her remark made headlines that implied a threat to Stormont, yet her intention was the opposite. The first minister was responding to calls from the crowd to collapse devolution and explaining why Sinn Féin would not do so. Mary Lou McDonald nodded alongside as she spoke. With every set-back, let alone crisis, Sinn Féin now has to contend w
Newton Emerson: The problem isnât a student brain drain, itâs that thereâs no brain gain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE myth of the Northern Ireland brain drain has been debunked by a report for the Department for the Economy, which regulates our universities. The proportion of students who leave to study elsewhere is just 22%, lower than Wales and every English region. Our problem is a reverse drain brain â a uniquely low number of students move here from the rest of the UK and Ireland. It seems we have never left our Troubles reputation behind. Stormont caps the number of places for local students to keep
Newton Emerson: Efforts to speed up justice are moving far too slowly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IN Northern Ireland, uniquely in the UK, everyone facing a criminal prosecution is put on trial twice. Their first trial is in a magistratesâ court, known here as a district court, where a committal hearing will take place. This is a mini-trial to assess the strength of the evidence and decide if the case is serious enough to be referred up to the Crown Court. The full trial is then held in the appropriate court. Two trials means waiting for two trials, sometimes on remand. There can be length
Newton Emerson: Nationalists canât leave London while living off London (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THERE is always a chance the UK could break up by accident, but any plan to leave requires ending dependence on its money. Taxes in Northern Ireland cover about 60% of public spending. The equivalent figures for Scotland and Wales are 80% and 65%. These shortfalls could have been addressed at the Cardiff summit by the leaders of Sinn Féin, Plaid Cymru and the SNP. The memorandum of understanding they signed on Monday covered cooperation on the economy, energy, the EU and international relations
Newton Emerson: Good marks for Paul Givan, but must do better on selection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE latest PISA international education results put England in the top 10 countries worldwide, with the other three parts of the UK falling steadily behind. This is being widely interpreted as proof that Micheal Goveâs Conservative education reforms a decade ago worked, while the devolved nations took a wrong turn by adopting more fashionable policies â a turn Labour now wants England to take as well. It also looks like vindication for DUP education minister Paul Givan, who is aiming to foll
