Omagh UUP candidate says people sick of ‘negative unionism’

The UUP council candidate for Omagh town has said people in the local community are sick of what he calls "negative unionism|.

Ulster Unionist councillor Matthew Bell was co-opted to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council two years ago, as the youngest elected member in the council.

Now aged 23, Bell is standing for election for the first time for the party in next week’s local government elections, and says he believes the DUP will be punished at the polls for their failure to return to Stormont over the Northern Ireland Protocol and the Windsor Framework.
