I have re-visited Emma Little-Pengelly’s speech during The Fleadh. ‘I am constant as the northern star’ in my response to it. I hope everybody acknowledges the validity of my analysis.
Respectfully.

There is deep unease about the trial of the facts process. I trust @naomi_long will agree to a full review of this legal procedure.

[Dominique collins @Domcolllins]

@JonBurrowsMLA How did DUP vote?

€800k announced by @MichealMartinTD for nxt stage of the Cork-Belfast docklands bridges project! 👏

That will fund design Stage 3 bringing a new bridge from Sailortown to The Odyssey closer

NI Exec need to ensure proper funding so that this doesn’t become another Casement.

What a lovely tribute from one decent politician to another. I will be sad to see @patsymcglone retire as he has always been a voice of reason and calming influence, but I wish him a long and happy retirement.

[Robbie Butler MLA @RobbieButlerMLA]

As @patsymcglone steps down after decades of service to his community, Northern Ireland politics loses one of its genuine gentlemen.

While many of us talk about friendships that exist beyond the Chamber, Patsy is one of the few who can wear that honour with pride and without fear of contradiction.

A detail-oriented politician with an inquisitive mind, sound judgement, and a personality it would be impossible not to like, he has earned respect across political divides.
I genuinely will miss Patsy.

He represents the very best of public service, the very best of politics, and the very best in us.

Apart from not being a Unionist of course, nobody's perfect 😛

Wishing him every happiness in the years ahead.

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat agus gach sonas ort sa todhchaí.

This is so true

[Jon B @jni_1972]

@naomi_long Until the Executive genuinely tackles financial waste, the cost of division here & revenue raising I wouldn't give them another penny.

And because we elect DUP & SF as the two biggest parties - knowing they thrive on division - it's our own fault we are in this mess.

[Carl Whyte @CarlJWhyte]

Last week @ClaireHanna & I visited the Ardoyne Association where we met Elaine Burns, Terry Goldsmith & Dr Michael Ligget.

Their work, ambition and engagement with the local community is inspiring.

There are historic and present challenges facing people across Belfast which organisations like the Ardoyne Association are meeting head on.

Our good news @BelfastZoo in today’s @BelfastLive 🚂🚂

Making the Zoo more accesible broadens its appeal across Belfast and for our visitors 👏

It's a joke. Maybe we should fight to get an independent body to suggest pay rise rates for nurses, teachers, etc

[Gerry Carroll @GerryCarrollPBP]

Let the record show: the MLA pay rise worth £14,000 - a whopping 27% - could have been stopped by MLAs. This is money that could have been given to households currently struggling to heat their homes.

MLAs enabled this money grab, and no amount of doublespeak can hide that fact.

[Paul Doherty @PaulDoherty___]

Good to see coverage of the motion I brought to Council calling for financial support for local artists - we need to keep pushing!

Belfast’s artists, musicians and creatives shape how our city is seen and felt across the world - but too many are still struggling to make a living from their work.

That is why I proposed that the Executive introduce a Basic Income for Artists scheme, modelled on the programme in the South, giving artists the stability and security to keep creating.

The motion has now passed and Council will write to the Executive pressing for action.

We need to keep backing the people who give this city its voice. I’ll keep fighting for real support for the arts.

[Paul Doherty @PaulDoherty___]

If we really want to support the arts - we need to do it properly by backing people and backing potential.

Proud to see my motion pass at Belfast City Council calling on the Executive to introduce a Basic Income for Artists scheme. Its over to them now to respond.

[Carl Whyte @CarlJWhyte]

The new paths & trials on the Cavehill which we secured £81,000 funding for last year are now complete!

If you’ve a change you want to see in your local area, drop me a line and if I can help I will 👍#northbelfast

[Dominique collins @Domcolllins]

@Bigrobbocfc67 @cellah26bsky @williamcrawley @RobbieButlerMLA I hope he does. We need more politicians like him.
