More dodgy goings on by politicians .......?

"Kieran McCarthy of Alliance, who runs an office in Kircubbin, pays a rent of more than 拢5,000 a year to his wife, who owns the property.

The practice is quite legal for MLAs but is banned for MPs. Mr McCarthy said that if the rules changed he would come to a different arrangement. "

"Mr McCarthy pays rent of 拢450 a month to his wife for the Kircubbin office.

Local estate agents said office rents in the town were about 拢150 to 拢200 a month.

Mr McCarthy said he was was not aware of that. "

"The Valuations and Land Agency website showed the property as being registered for use as a house - not an office.

Mr McCarthy said that he "had not gotten round to putting in the application for change of use".

......... and finally the clincher ..........

"The MLA said he was quite comfortable with the arrangement with his wife. "

........ I bet he is ..........

Edit - Im assuming it means Member of the Legislative Assembly............ we have those back in Oz and they are basically just MP's but not sure what the set up in Northern Ireland is.

Further proof that those in public life, especially politicians, are bent.

I just bet he is "comfortable with the arrangement"

What is an MLA?

Too many self-serving greedy MPs only interested in their own pockets.
No sign of integrity or public service in the Commons
