This is a consequential moment on the island of Ireland.
The Orange Order parade represents a return to the divisions of the past. After 28 years of progress thanks to the Good Friday Agreement, we have come too far to turn back now.
Today, I joined my colleagues in the Congressional Friends of Ireland Caucus in writing to the British Secretary of State Bryant, calling on the Government of the United Kingdom to cancel the Orange Order parade on Garvaghy Road.

The courage, resilience and determination of Nikita Hand is humbling.
I can’t imagine the horror she and her family have endured for the last six years.

A state-of-the-art stadium in a working-class nationalist area was a step too far for some here. They foolishly celebrate the Casement decision. Hosting Euro 2028 on GFA 30th annivy would have sent a powerful message that NI works.The opposite is true now

Now we know why Donegal defective home owners were screwed by the government, while those in Dublin weren’t. Simply put the government were unwilling to pay similar amounts for families impacted outside the Pale, so they secretly rigged the scheme in Donegal to screw families🤮
My allegiance is now and always will be with the people of Derry who send me to Westminster to represent them and the people of Ireland.
No empty formula can change that.
