The Fleadh has been and will be one of the best events in Belfast history.
The craic, the people and the atmosphere are genuinely unrivalled.
We’ve proven that we can work together and we can’t let that bar slip again.
Sinn Féin Councillors caught laughing at and disregarding road safety ‼️
The behaviour tonight at the monthly meeting of the Fermanagh & Omagh Council was an utter disgrace.
SF has failed to deliver for rural communities and lives are being lost as a result.

Sinn Fein vote to support Israel at Mid Ulster District Council.
They chose to abstain on a key vote, allowing a planning application from a company in the F-35 supply chain to succeed.
Utter shame on them.
Today, SDLP MPs voted to support the Hillsborough Law. A long-overdue step towards truth, accountability and justice.
We stand with every family who fought for honesty in the face of institutional failure and remain committed to a legal duty of candour here in Northern Ireland.
Rupert Lowe, hang your head in shame.
His comments on the Joe Rogan Podcast are utterly disgusting.
We should not be diminishing or politicising what was a tragic, horrific and deeply harrowing event.
This man was rightly prosecuted and fined while UDA and UVF flags bedeck large parts of this city, including along major public highways.
But despite new legal powers for the police they are not being removed.
Why?
The GAA is rightly working hard to deliver a stadium.
But this stadium will not be what was promised - including by the FM - thanks to Executive failure.
Munster has four 40k stadia; whole of NI has one 20k stadium.
Is it any wonder people want an entirely different future?
Remarkable.
So because SF & NI Exec won’t fund the original Provincial Ground designs, a mini version now proposed which a DUP Minister could end up deciding on.
Will require at least a planning application to amend to DFI, under a completely new Local Development Plan. The ‘enabling works’ mean little planning wise.
Will take at least 1 yr before submission & a new DFI Minister deciding it! 🤦♂️
The brinkmanship around the Euros a complete waste & delayed progress by another 2 yrs. Just unbelievable.
My wee mate. The kindest, sweetest, most extraordinary person I knew was murdered by morons on a Derry street. Her precious life was snuffed out for nothing. There’s not a day I don't miss her. Lyra McKee brought so much joy into all our lives. ❤️ u kid.
Sinn Fein has failed the people of West Belfast.
They promised that Casement would be built and they could not deliver.
They’ve been dominant among Nationalists for over 20 years, but really what have they done for you?
SDLP Youth was delighted to attend the SDLP Conference on the Future of These Islands! 🌹
The SDLP are bringing together people from across the political spectrum as we prepare for a New Ireland.
If the Executive does not agree a Budget they will be imposing a £1bn cut on all of us.
That could mean hundreds fewer nurses, teachers, police officers and cuts to infrastructure.
We all want better funding from London but the Executive cannot play chicken with our services.
The courage of Jeffrey Donaldson's victims is extraordinary.
Thinking of them today and all those seeking justice for abuse.
I hope today's verdict gives them hope that accountability is possible.
And Donaldson should be stripped of any honours still attaching to his name.
In deep admiration of Donaldson’s victims, who showed immense courage coming forward knowing the journey they would face. This case sends a clear message that no one is above the law.
I have contacted the Cabinet Office to ensure Donaldson’s knighthood is stripped immediately.
The suggestion that domestic violence is caused by football results is disgusting.
Domestic violence is caused by evil scumbags who terrorise innocent people, nothing else.
You should be ashamed.
