More than 5,000 people took part in an online poll that asked if people thought MLAs should continue to receive their salaries - 95 per cent of readers said no.

The poll was published on the Derry Journal website on Tuesday.

Whilst lacking in real influence, the poll provides insight into how the electorate feel about the current political situation in the North.
