There’s gold in them thar hills!

THE Sperrins have long been thought to hold deposits of gold. With various licences out for one area, the Assembly debated the possible environmental implications of the gold mining.

Environment Minister Sammy Wilson (MP, MLA & Belfast councillor) good humouredly agreed to travel to County Tyrone to see for himself the situation.

Or is he thinking of staking a claim…after all an Executive sponsored gold strike could help come to its rescue in the next Comprehensive Spending Review.
