Pengelly Named New DUP MLA For South Belfast
Ms Emma Pengelly has been appointed the new DUP MLA for south Belfast after it was announced Jimmy Spratt is to stand down.
Ms Pengelly is a barrister who served as special adviser to the First Minister focusing on policy issues such as victims and survivors, good relations and social change along with providing legal and other advice.
DUP leader Peter Robinson said: "I would like once again to pay tribute to Jimmy Spratt for his dedication and service both to the DUP and to the South Belfast constituency. I am delighted however that the constituency will have such a talented policy expert as Emma working on its behalf.
"She has worked very closely with many community and voluntary organisations over the last number of years, and in South Belfast she was instrumental in bringing forward the 'Urban Villages' programme which will help tackle dereliction within the Sandy Row/Donegall Pass area of the constituency. She will be a first-rate representative for South Belfast representing a new generation of talent within the DUP."
