A majority in the Assembly has tonight rejected the attempt by unionists to remove me from office.
Iโm proud to have stood with the Garvaghy Road residents.
The people of the Garvaghy Road and nationalists across the North will never be treated as second-class citizens.
There will be no going back. Not now, not ever.
10 years ago today, Madonna endorsed Hillary Clinton for U.S. President:

I have confidence in the people of the Garvaghy Road.
I have confidence in the people from right across Ireland who stood with them to protect peace and progress.
I have confidence in the vast majority of people in our society, from all backgrounds, who do not want to be dragged backwards.
And I have confidence in my decision to support the Garvaghy Road residents.
Itโs 2026, not 1969. There is no going back.
