Delighted to be serving alongside Deputy Mayor Cllr Catherine McDaid 🤝
Sorry to see this @patsymcglone has been an excellent public servant for Mid-Ulster and shown strong leadership especially in the Speakers Chair as Deputy Speaker of the Assembly. Adh mor Patsy 👏
Delighted to see plans for Strabane’s new Leisure Centre today. This long awaited project will bring improvements to services and new life into the town centre.

The SDLP has been shouting for weeks about the impact of refusing to set a Budget.
For our trouble, we've been called names by the Finance Minister.
Today, the Communities Minister confirmed that funding to groups tackling domestic violence was at risk without a Budget

Precious babies.
I would never forgive myself if I didn't speak up for Noah, when I know things aren't right.
I pray that his truth finds it's way, & his voice is heard.
Keep fighting the good fight, for Noah.
Noahs Army💙🙏⚡️

The passing of a bill to formally close a botched renewable energy scheme marks an end to one of the "darkest" episodes in devolution in Northern Ireland, the assembly has heard. https://t.co/rCOfdaxX2A
The prospect of Prime Minister Farage should focus minds across this island.
Ireland cannot afford to drift through the next decade. We need serious, responsible and inclusive planning for constitutional change for the kind of future we want to build together. @MatthewOToole2
Watching the results in England today and all I will say is absolutely catastrophic for Labour.
They have totally lost touch with working class people and failed to deliver on the promises made in 2024. Starmer has to go.
Nigel Farage talks of a "truly historic shift in British politics".
People in Northern Ireland have a right to decide whether they want a Farage future against their will.
The only way of decisively rejecting that future is to choose a new Ireland, back in Europe.
Kemi Badenoch has now been forced to delete the appalling video. She should apologise directly to the Bloody Sunday families and acknowledge that the politics of prioritising the interests of soldiers over the needs of victims is wrong.
I’m astounded that @KemiBadenoch used footage of soldiers in Derry during Bloody Sunday in this video promoting the actions of the British Army.
It’s disgusting, deeply offensive and an insult to the innocent civil rights protestors who soldiers killed that day.
Good news as a Strabane man living very close to the border, I and many others have been advocating for years for the introduction of voting rights for Irish citizens living in the North. A positive step forward. Well done @Toibin1
The Government has said it will not oppose Aontú's bill which would extend voting rights for Irish presidential elections to all Irish citizens living in Northern Ireland

Claire Hanna is the most popular NI party leader in @LucidTalk poll for @BelTel. For the first time, she scores higher than Michelle O'Neill among nationalists. Jon Burrows is the second best rated leader, replacing Jim Allister as unionists' favourite.
