Mr Poots's religiously-influenced views - including his belief that the earth is 6,000 years old - have also generated headlines in the past.
Mr Poots told the BBC: "No conflict of interest has been exercised in any shape or form by either myself, my son, other DUP members or anybody else on the council.He has never been an MP, having spent much of his career based at Stormont. But it would present difficulties as his department was tasked with overseeing the construction of post-Brexit border control posts - implementing the Irish Sea border that he and other DUP colleagues staunchly opposed.
He is the right person to lead the DUP to the land of the irrational thinkers.
Isn't he a creationist who thinks the world is 6k years old?
Ask Ian Paisley- he’ll fill you in😊
