cheers,

right DUP take finance, so SF have to pick between Health (the budget), DRD (water charges) and Education (I'm assuming they're too sensible to use their first pick to take DCAL JUST for an Irish language Act..). I reackon they take Health because the RPA has filleted DE and there won't be much left and surely no one wants to volunteer to take on DRD.. do they?? DUP take DSD, UUP 'save the grammar schools', SDLP take the highest profile Department left (DETI?), SF may then use their second pick to get an Irish language act.

Then they all look at each other and don't worry too much

There are of course plenty of other possibilities..
