🚨🗣NI School security alerts: 'This is my children's school. As a parent, that text message is extremely worrying.'
🎥🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to @allianceparty MLA @sianalliance.
📍Her children are at one of the schools that closed in Northern Ireland due to security concerns.
⛔️She says that ALL schools in Ballycastle area took decision to close.
🚨The PSNI and Metropolitan Police in London are looking into emails that have been sent threatening schools this morning.
👇Full list of closures of schools in Enniskillen, Strabane and Ballycastle from what we know:
Strabane Academy.
Strabane Primary School (Derry Road).
Holy Cross College Strabane.
Cross & Passion College in Ballycastle.
St Patrick's & St Brigid's Primary School.
Enniskillen Integrated Primary School and Nursery.
Enniskillen Royal Grammar School.
Ballycastle Integrated Primary School.
Gaelscoil an Chaistil.
I am really thankful to the @PSNICCGDistrict and the school communities who rallied round in Ballycastle this morning following threats made via email. As a parent, to receive a text message that your child’s school is closed because of a security threat is absolutely terrifying.
It’s shameful that other parties have voted against Alliance’s plan to increase penalties for polluters.
Our proposal would’ve reversed the DUP’s cap on cross-compliance penalties.
Only Alliance is committed to protecting our environment and Lough Neagh.
Our overstretched water infrastructure is blocking new homes, harming the economy & environment. Alliance wants to see:
✅Mutualisation to unlock long-term investment
✅ PC21 fully funded
✅ New Infrastructure Commission to ensure value for money
Hate promoting myself but I was on a podcast recently. Way out of my comfort zone but it’s me talking about IBD/Cancer/having two stomas. Check it out if you’re bored 🙂. https://t.co/gpXOyJLRr9
Best of luck for the future Stephen. It was a pleasure to work closely together during my time at Alliance HQ, and I learnt a lot from you.
I will always admire your strategic thinking and unrelenting commitment to Alliance. Good luck!
Over the past eight years, I have been honoured to be Alliance Party Deputy Leader. This is my personal statement as I announce that I am stepping down from this role. I want to thank everyone for their support over this time, and look forward to new opportunities.
This is an appalling act of violence and my thoughts are with the government official who was forced from the vehicle as they were doing their job.
There is absolutely no justification for these acts of intimidation and destruction. @phmcc93@alliancerichard
Patrick and I have had a few conversations over the years about our mutual love of this town. This article resonates very strongly - even as a adopted Sandgrounder #SouthportTogether
I've spent time in Southport thanks to my friend @LeoEvans94 and I am absolutely devastated at the events of the last two days.
So much senseless violence and 3 young lives so cruelly cut short. Now this pathetic far right mob is only deepening the pain felt by the community.
🚨 Lough Neagh Action Plan approved 🚨
@AndrewMuirNI's plan to recover Lough Neagh has finally been approved by all Executive parties. It will be a long journey but together we can turn the tide on water quality.
Stephen Farry is the most capable and qualified candidate in North Down.
Don’t just take our word for it, the leader of the UUP and their candidate agree too.
On the 4th of July, vote @StephenFarryND ✖️🗳

Inclusive, Positive and Progressive Politics is only one ❌ away.
On the 4th July Vote 🗳️ Richard Stewart
Delighted to join fellow @allianceparty candidates @raichfer87 and @pfarrell767 with my election agent Russell.
This is a brutal and appalling incident that has shocked the community. It happened in a car park that had 20 motor homes staying overnight. There is no place for violence like this in Bushmills, in North Antrim or anywhere for that matter https://t.co/z8ypWtecYT
