[John Finucane MP @johnfinucane]

Tomorrow, Paul Givan will attempt to push through a bill that could see teachers face sanctions for taking strike action.

You read that right.

At a time when teachers are under growing pressure, the DUP Education Minister wants to diminish, not strengthen, teachers’ rights.

We will not stand by & accept this.

Sinn Féin will strongly oppose this crusade against teachers & stand up for their right to take industrial action.

“We are the largest party of the working class. I don’t need anyone to define my politics. I’m an Irish republican. I come from a working class constituency. I’m a United Irelander. I believe in fairness, I believe in justice and I have an ambition for this country. What I want is a government without Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael… and I’m prepared to work to make it a reality”

On this day in 1967, Celtic won the European Cup in Lisbon.

12 men born within 30 miles of Celtic Park defeated Helenio Herrera’s Inter Milan to become the first non-Latin team to win the trophy.

The greatest achievement by a Scottish club. Immortal 🏆

Irish Nationalists won’t be going anywhere, Gavin.

The days of us being treated as second-class citizens are gone.

For the first time ever, there could be three nationalist, pro-Independence First Ministers across these islands.

Historic change is happening.

The demand for independence is growing.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

I have contacted SNP leader John Swinney and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth to congratulate them on their enormous mandates.

For the first time ever, there could be three pro-independence First Ministers across these islands.

More and more people are looking towards a future beyond the constraints of the Union.

I look forward to continuing to build the friendship between the people of our nations, and to working closely with both John and Rhun in the time ahead.

How the Irish Language is treated on our Council!

PUP Councillor THREATENS the use of grinders on dual language street signs in Causway Coast and Glens Borough Council

"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

“Sinn Féin will not tolerate the continuing scornful attitude displayed by an increasingly rogue, intransigent DUP hellbent on trying to turn back the clock to the days of unionist misrule. There will be no going back.”

This Sunday at 2pm we will gather at the Bobby Sands Statue in Twinbrook to mark the 45th anniversary of Bobby Sands.

Let’s come together as a proud and united community, to honour the memory of the hunger strikers as we work towards our vision of a new and united Ireland.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

Those behind last night’s attack in Dunmurry speak for absolutely no one.

They have no vision, no support, and have nothing to offer our society.

Our communities deserve peace.

No one is going to deny our young people and future generations that.

We will keep progressing and we will keep moving forward to a better future.

I have been in contact with local representatives to extend my solidarity and support to all those impacted.

⁉️💥NEW: “There is a crack in the union. The 'disunited Kingdom'. London has treated us like second-class citizens.”

🎤🎥Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to @sinnfeinireland Vice President @moneillsf.

🗳She believes that, when looking at Scotland and Wales, if elections go a certain way there could be 'huge changes' in the make-up of the United Kingdom, with a united Ireland following in the future.

She says election wins for @theSNP in Scotland and @Plaid_Cymru in Wales would say a lot about where people are at, adding: “They want change.”

On Westminster, Michelle O’Neill says London has never cared for this place and never will.

It comes ahead of the party’s Ard Fheis in Belfast this weekend, with keynote addresses from Michelle O’Neill on Friday and party leader @MaryLouMcDonald on Saturday.

[🇮🇪🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️CarálNíChuilín, Is Deontóir Mé ✊ @CaralNiChuilin]

Sinn Féin welcomes today’s positive court judgement which has dismissed the challenge to Belfast City Council’s Irish language policy.

The Irish language is thriving in communities right across Belfast, and attempts to block progress will not succeed.

We will continue working to ensure Belfast City Council’s Irish language policy is fully implemented and delivers equality for the Irish language.

Keir Starmer is choosing to spend billions extra each year on weapons of war, while failing to support workers and families through a cost of living crisis.

The British government has the power to cut tax on petrol, diesel and home heating oil, and to also deliver a real financial support package for people.

Instead, they’re choosing to spend the money on weapons for war.

[An Dream Dearg 🅾️🦸🏽‍♀️🦸🏻‍♂️ @dreamdearg]

🚨NEW: REVEALED🚨

THE DUP & other Unionist Cllrs have been consistently rejecting valid dual language streets signs since 2015; where overwhelming majorities of respondents vote in favour & virtually zero opposition. DUP supremacy in action, 2026.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

Keir Starmer is choosing to spend billions extra each year on weapons of war instead of supporting workers, families, and businesses through this cost of living crisis.

I will continue to challenge the British government on the need to urgently cut taxes on petrol, diesel, and heating oil, and to deliver a serious support package for people.

I won’t rest. I won’t let up. I will keep working day and night to have people’s backs.
