The Protestant leader has been accused by his daughter of discrimination over a party job

THEY live under the same roof and she thinks that her father is “a softy” but that has not stopped Rhonda Paisley, daughter of the firebrand leader of Northern Ireland Unionism, from taking legal action against him for alleged sexual discrimination.

Ms Paisley’s brother, Ian Jr — who moved out of the family home in East Belfast many years ago — is also in Ms Paisley’s line of fire.

So has war broken out in the House of Paisley? She accuses her father, Ian, her brother and most of the leading lights of the Democratic Unionists of discriminating against her on the grounds of gender when she failed to secure a job with the party as a policy officer last year.

Mr Paisley and son are among those named in the case being brought by Ms Paisley over a failed job application. Her case is being supported by the Equality Commission in Northern Ireland...

From the same article:

While neither the Paisley family nor the DUP were making any official comment about the pending case, there was a feeling among some senior members that “more family pressure” should have been brought to bear “to stop it going this far”.

That's a bit scary. :eek:
