Mitchell's NI experience valuable for Disney

12.00.00am GMT Thu 4th Mar 2004

ALLIANCE Assembly member Seamus Close has congratulated former Senator and peace process deal-maker George Mitchell on becoming Chairman of Disney.

Mr Close stated:

"I am pleased to learn that George Mitchell has been appointed Chair of Disney. I have no doubt that he will not be daunted by the task he faces - after all he has lots of experience.

"He arrived here like Tarzan, and was the Lion King during the talks process, when he had to deal with an Aladdin's cave of political dinosaurs, dumbos and Pinocchios who seem to live in Wonderland.

"Nevertheless, he succeeded in achieving a political miracle and like Davy Crockett led us to tomorrow's land."
