Great to work with Politics in Action today. Students from Newry HS, St Paul’s, Bessbrook & St Joseph’s Crossmaglen (Newry&Armagh) got the opportunity to put Qs to @JustinMcNu1ty@danielbakersf Gareth Wilson MLA
Today I joined political and religious leaders from across the world to pay my respects at the funeral of Pope Francis.
We said goodbye to a leader of great stature, immense courage, and deep humility — a man who carried forward a powerful vision for a fairer, more just, and peaceful world.
It falls to all of us to honour his legacy by building that better future for our children and grandchildren, in every corner of the globe.

Teachers are now being asked for a THIRD time to accept the same pay deal we have voted down TWICE. The threat is that come Friday the money will be lost. Sadly it also appears we will not be balloted. Unions will accept on our behalf. A sorry state of affairs.
