Delighted to be back in Ballycastle for Philip McGuigan’s election convention.
I was his DOE in 2003 when we broke the mould & elected North Antrim’s first ever
Sinn Féin MLA- a momentous day
Tonight, Philip’s integrity & dedication shone through every word.
Proud of him ✊🇮🇪

Meeting representatives of Cancer Research this morning in advance of today’s Tobacco & Vapes Bill debate.
Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death in the North, killing over 2,000 people each year.
Had he lived Seán Savage would be 60 today. I’ll always be grateful to Joe Austin for bringing him home & I hope Seán’s family, friends and comrades know that we haven’t forgotten him. “I see his blood upon the rose, & in the stars the glory of his eyes…” 🙏🏻
Motaz Sarsour GAA in Palestine have had their first hurling match this week after an intensive training in the past few days!

Well done to all involved 👏🏽
Israel killed the last remaining orthopedic surgeon in Northern Gaza today.
Dr. Saeed Joudeh was on his way to the hospital when Israel shot him in the head.
He was not a combatant. He was a doctor devoted to saving lives.
I am taking part in today’s 24hr fast to raise money for Palestine. All proceeds will go directly to UNRWA.

If this involved Sinn Féin it would be front page news, on Six One for days & be the subject of endless columns, editorial and radio & TV panel discussions. The hypocrisy & double standards of the Irish media commentariat is puke-inducing!
Long overdue but welcome news.
Vindication for the Finucane family and their tireless campaign for justice.
After 35 years it’s now time for the truth.
