Once a week an MLA gives up one of the Private Members Business slots; all 108 MLAs are then locked in the chamber - no TV cameras, no press, no public - for at least two hours.
Tea, coffee and tray bakes will be withheld.
If, after two hours, they haven’t got at least one piece of substantial new (old Direct Rule initiatives and procedural bills don’t count) legislation whipped into shape and ready for the vote they should all be docked a week’s wages. And have their tray bakes and sticky buns confiscated.
Seems at least as much a common sense solution than asking questions on an issue that was covered in an Assembly committee, Westminster statements, statements in the Dail, and in acres of newsprints…
