Willie Clarke MLA is a junior republican politician in Northern Ireland. He was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2003 as a Sinn Féin member for South Down. Clarke has become infamous among his fellow MLAs for his truancy since then, failing to introduce a single law in his 8 years in the Assembly.[1][2] He has also been a member of Down District Council since 2001.[3] On 21 February 2012 Clarke announced he will resign as an MLA to concentrate on his work as a Down District councillor, Sinn Fein has yet to announce his successor.
