East Belfast. Husband to beautiful wife. Father of two great boys. Not sure what's happening in this life or the next.

We had our plaque of remembrance on display on which there are recorded the names of those who served in the UAD. Does anybody know what that is?

[Dr Hedley Abernethy @abuliam]

Inspiring service of remembrance at East Belfast Mission at which @REVBBA reminded us that today is about both remembrance and hope for and in the future.

Asbestos in the Village update:

We’ve been following up to get the site safe for the local community. Hoping to see progress this week - the landowner needs to secure access to the site to commence the removal work. We’ll keep the pressure on - public health must be protected

Glad to promote this initiative with @micky_murray https://t.co/aQ4jihUG1R

Absolutely disgusted to hear about this potentially racially-motivated attack. I hope Mutasim knows that the vast majority of people in East Belfast are proud to offer a place of safety, sanctuary and welcome to all.

[Belfast Telegraph @BelTel]

A man has described the “terrifying” moment his east Belfast home was attacked in what police are treating as a “racially motivated hate crime”, as he admitted he no longer feels “safe in this house or this area”.

Really useful @niexecutive this evening to reflect on the impact of #StormEowyn and the recovery plan for the days ahead.

We are hugely grateful for the responsible approach of the public to travel warnings and advice and to those whose job placed them at risk to keep us safe. >

So delighted to share in this moment with my wonderful colleague @fionamcateer

Disgusted that the Minister of Communities shouted at me twice to sit down as I was making a legitimate point of order regarding childcare funding. Aggressive, arrogant and have to say - doubt it would have happened if I was a man.

@TranslinkMetro Metro 6D from Lanyon Place disappears from the board. Thoughts?

Delighted my colleague @fionamcateer spoke about this at Council. Often the work of youth workers who do street outreach is not heard about but is so vital.

[fiona mcateer @fionamcateer]

Attending full council tonight. I put on record my thanks for the youth workers in East Belfast @WalkwayCommuni1 @ledleyhall Bloomfield community association,Short Strand and all community facing organisations for the work they did during the unrest in lower Newtownards road.

[Dr Hedley Abernethy @abuliam]

Oh dear!

Junior Minister Aisling Reilly attended today’s Community Relations in Schools event celebrating the success of the 'Buddy Up!' initiative. Addressing guests at Belfast City Hall, she praised the programme for engaging thousands of children, staff, parents and carers from schools across the five Urban Villages areas in cross-community activities, helping to build good relations and life-long friendships.

[Dr Hedley Abernethy @abuliam]

@AndyofAlliance @curtis_irvine Brilliant. Well done Curtis.

[Belfast City Council @belfastcc]

Stay hydrated in the sunshine with the water refill stations at City Hall and St George's Market💧

Join the ‘refillution’ by carrying a reusable water bottle.

If one in 10 people refilled just once a week, we could save around 340 million plastic bottles a year🌞
