In March 2007, McLaughlin transferred to the South Antrim constituency where he topped the poll during the 2007 Assembly election.〔(BBC News ), retrieved 2006-12-24〕 He was re-elected at the 2011 Assembly election. After it was revealed that a consultancy contract on a new accounting system extended to 10 times the original budget, McLaughlin said, "I am very, very angry and I am very concerned that there appears to be almost a sense of immunity at the senior civil service level when these basic mistakes are made." The party chairman came in for criticism in 2005 when he said the killing of Jean McConville – one of the Disappeared – was not a criminal act. He is married and has three sons. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mitchel McLaughlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
