📹 This week we've been highlighting the dangers of e-scooters in public places, for both the riders and general public.

Minister Liz Kimmins:
"I want to remind everyone that e-scooters are not toys, and parents and guardians must be aware of these risks to children and young people."

"Anyone using e scooters in public spaces are putting their lives, and the lives of those around them at risk, and they’re breaking the law."

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.
