The Catholic Chaplain at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) has said that it has been “wonderful” to welcome members back to their building after three years of renovations.

The Catholic Chaplaincy at the university has been at its current site on Elmwood Avenue for over fifty years, but temporarily closed its doors in 2023.

Earlier this month, it welcomed students, staff and visitors back inside the reimagined space, which now also includes accommodation spaces for 47 students.

Today I met with King Charles at Hillsborough.

I welcomed his continued efforts to promote positive relationships between our islands, and people of Irish and British traditions here.

This included hosting Uachtarán na hÉireann Catherine Connolly yesterday, and attending a Fleadh Cheoil event today, recognising and celebrating the vibrancy of Irish culture and language.

We all come from different lived experiences and perspectives, but that should never be a barrier to showing respect for each other’s views and identities.

As your First Minister, I am committed to building a society rooted in respect and equality for every person.

I will continue to do all I can to break down barriers and ensure our young people grow up in a better world than many of us did.

I'm sure Royal Mail put aside all your post then deliver it all in one day. Nothing all week, then six items of mail in one day. Anyone else noticed this?

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Remember when we were kids and the FA cup was a massive day whoever was playing there was something special about the day. It's not like that anymore ⚽️

Isn't it wonderful that the 2026 Rose Tralee festival will represent the progressive diversity and inclusivity in our society?

Dublin Rose Suad Mooge, was born a culchie, is now a jackeen, and is probably more representative of pan-Irishism than most, if not all the other Roses

Thousands of generations lived and died without ever seeing a sunset on another world.

You didn’t.

You are alive in the single sliver of time when this became possible.

We don’t throw away perfectly good food in this house.

We put it in a Tupperware box, put it in the fridge, wait for it to go bad, and THEN throw it out.
