It is the latest controversy surrounding the MLA's former business interest, which has entered liquidation with debts above £64,000

Alliance has launched an internal investigation after a bust business advised by an MLA sought to charge a graduate hundreds of pounds to campaign for the party during Stormont elections.

Ross Wilson, 24, from Bangor, said he was offered an alternative "internship" with the Alliance Party for May's Assembly election. However, he did not receive any further information about the trip before learning this summer the company had gone into liquidation. It was liquidated last year and the brand was sold to Volunteer USA, a company newly set up by Rupert Browne who had previously been working since 2019 as Politrip's general manager.
