Poots - il ne regrette rien

Martina Purdy Martina Purdy | 13:53 UK time, Friday, 17 July 2009

Just finished editing a profile piece on Edwin Poots for radio and television - should be airing on Monday. As part of the research I dug into our archives and found a piece of footage from 1997 - Gerry Adams's first appearance on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Question Time. Yes that was controversial back then. And a young Edwin Poots marched onto the stage to protest. He was quickly escorted off the stage as Mr Adams dismissed his attack as a "DUP stunt". When I reminded the new Stormont Environment minister of the incident, he declared: "That is something I have no regrets about. So I have been thrown out of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ - but I've been thrown out of better places than the ´óÏó´«Ã½."

Surely not - such as???
