Thank you to everyone who came along tonight to cheer me on as I take up the role of Lord Mayor of Belfast.
I am honestly so honoured to have been given this opportunity to represent our great city. I won’t let you down.
Footfall in Belfast City Centre between 11pm and 2am up 8.8% on Fridays and 10.2% on Saturdays proves that late night transport not only keeps people safe and improves connectivity, it’s also good for the economy.
People in NI want delivery, not more psychodrama from their political representatives.
From tackling waiting lists, to bringing down living costs and working towards a shared future, our focus remains on the issues that matter most.

Voluntary coalition for forming an Executive should be considered as part of any future Stormont reform, the SDLP has said.

Tomorrow, we’re bringing our concerns about Paul Givan’s TransformED plans to the floor of the Assembly.
Education reform should put pupils first, not pile more pressure on teachers or ignore the voices of schools and parents.
Our children deserve better.
@BenLowry2@EoinTennyson@JeffDudgeon Jeff has rarely supported any further steps towards equality after decriminalisation.
Not shocking that he’s not supportive of this proposed legislation, he got what he wanted and stopped caring about others.
@MrVirtueSignal My comment was mild at worst.
Don’t be such a snowflake, if you think that’s nasty you should see the messages I get, usually, just for having the audacity to exist as a gay person.

In 2022, you made history by electing 2 Alliance MLAs in North Down.
Since then, Connie & Andrew have been busy, from restoring our environment to championing integrated education.
To keep building a shared future in North Down, vote @AndrewMuirNI & @connieegan94 next May.
The Economic Forum tomorrow matters to the people of NI. That we won't be represented at a major UK conference to support NI because of the DUP's internal wranglings is not only disgraceful, but self-defeating, self-harming and short-sighted.
News that FM is being blocked by dFM in attending the Economic Forum is deeply worrying. 5 mths out frm dissolution of the Assembly we should be seeing collaboration btwn them to ensure that our Exec depts are working together to make progress on issues affecting our communities.
