McElduff critical of commission

Sinn Fein's Assembly member for West Tyrone Barry McElduff has criticised the Patten Commission's plans to hold only one meeting to cover Omagh and Strabane and it is being held during work-hours on December 2.

``People in this area have a lot to say about future policing arrangements in this society,'' said McElduff. ``This is why I am unhappy at the hearings taking place during work-hours.''

McElduff has requested the Commission to schedule hearings for the evening. He is also calling for two separate meetings to be held in Castlederg and Carrickmore to ``properly gauge opinion in these parts of Tyrone''.
