John Cunningham - Tackle the big issues

Northern Ireland politicians need to wake up and instead of tackling one another, they need to tackle the problems that most affect people - a lack of jobs, a lack of growth, a lack of opportunities and an education system that doesn't make our young people work ready. As leading Northern Ireland businessman John Cunningham said:

"They need to look realistically at the problems that are facing the province and tackle those. I think it’s a matter for the whole community to realise that times are different now. It’s an absolute disgrace that our young people are having to leave, that we have a completely inadequate education system, that we simply cannot provide the people that can fuel an industrial programme So that’s a total disgrace that we have a divided education system. There’s just no logic to those things. And if a government is to be a government it must tackle those issues."
