| MAGINNESS: OFMDFM WHOLLY DYSFUNCTIONAL - 16th September 2009 SDLP Justice Spokesman Alban Maginness MLA has said the lack of political agreement between the First and Deputy First Minister is hindering the transfer of policing and justice powers. He said: “The SDLP back any efforts to get proper funding for policing and justice so that when powers are transferred, sufficient resources will be in place to do a good job. “However the central issue about the devolution of policing and justice is not about money, but the lack of political agreement between Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness. This reflects the dysfunctional character of OFMDFM and the current Executive. “Both the DUP and SF seem incapable of reaching any political agreement on any serious political issue and we are left with people who hold office but are simply not governing on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland.”
