As Economy Minister, I committed to ongoing, meaningful engagement on the Good Jobs Bill.
Following further engagements with employer and trade union reps, I have decided to exempt businesses with less than 10 employees from the workplace trade union access provisions.
It is now time for the landmark Good Jobs Bill to progress into the Assembly for democratic discussion and scrutiny.
Never a truer word ... The people of South Armagh knew even then what was happening in their midst. Collusion was a disaster, both for its victims and wider society both in NI and Britain. That truth needs to be understood by all. https://t.co/4d2641v69g
She's Correct.
Presidential candidate Catherine Connolly has said Fine Gael are "absolutely scared" of the momentum behind her campaign.
The Independent candidate also said she has spent her whole life standing up for women and said people know her as that person.

Tonight, Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael and the Lowry Independents showed once again whose side they are on. They just voted down our plan to end the insurance rip-off, hold the companies to account, and keep money in hard working people’s pockets.

It’s game on…
Let’s get Catherine Connolly into the Áras
A candidate of hope, with integrity & a clear commitment to equality & justice for all.

⁉️🗣NEW: Michelle O’Neill NOT ruling herself out of Irish Presidency run as Mary Lou McDonald does.
🎤🎥Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to the First Minister @moneillsf at Stormont.
⛔️It comes as @sinnfeinireland President @MaryLouMcDonald confirmed this morning that she will not be running.
Michelle O'Neill says the party is still in “discussion mode.”
We also hear her thoughts on the Assembly’s return following the summer recess.
Councillor Michael Mc Mahon has been and continues to be a first class Councillor for Bundoran and the wider South Donegal area. Neither he nor his family deserve the pathetic treatment that they received.
Michael McMahon is a great representative of the Bundoran community. Elected by the people time and time again. He deserves our utmost respect and solidarity and so, too, does his family.

It’s the continued lack of understanding that safeguarding depends on insight and understanding of those who pose the risk - also if we don’t deal effectively with the convicted we have no chance with those who harm but yet to be convicted - @Justice_NI@CVOCNI@VictimSupportNI
The holiday period can be extremely difficult for many victims and survivors of #DomesticAbuse
