Bloomfield or Bloomberg?

Mark Devenport | 14:52 UK time, Wednesday, 23 April 2008

Is concern about the Victims Commission overshadowing everything else in the First and Deputy First Minister's Office? Making his presentation to a Stormont Committee this afternoon, the Junior Minister Gerry Kelly talked about the VIPs due to attend next month's US Investment Conference, among whom he listed the New York Mayor, "Michael Bloomfield".

The DUP's Jim Wells put him right. The Mayor of New York is Michael Bloomberg. The former Victims Commissioner is Sir Kenneth Bloomfield.

Also giving evidence, the other Junior Minister Jeffrey Donaldson spelled out the names of companies attending the conference. He joked about whether HP might be representing the world famous sauce - but it was evident that he knew he was talking about the multi national computer firm Hewlett Packard.
