Positive news, my amendment calling on Belfast City Council to enter negotiations with the Department of Health to deliver drug testing at festivals has been agreed at committee. This is about saving lives,harm reduction, and giving people the information they need to make informed decisions.

Entrance to Cherryvale Park blocked and seriously damaged due to a large tree that has collapsed. Stay at home and keep safe. I'll keep people updated.

As thousands of people come into Belfast City Centre to celebrate St Patrick's Day, one of its most important & historic buildings lies left to rot by the failure of private developers. It's time for Assembly Rooms to come into public ownership & save it for future generations.

Cregagh Glen Pollution Update I’ve secured agreement from Belfast City Council to carry out a full investigation into what’s been happening, including all incidents and responses from DAERA and NIEA since January 2024.

I've been contacted by local residents about another potential pollution incident in the Loop River. I've informed NIEA and Andrew Muir's office, but both I believe are weak and ineffective. It's not a question of if, but when water quality becomes a risk to human health in NI.

Update from Council today. I raised the need for night buses to be in place for duration of Fleadh Cheoil. 800k plus people expected to attend over 7 days, it is vital that we have it in place. Got agreement for new gates on the Ravenhill Rd side of Ormeau Park, gates that are disabled compliant.

A Christmas message to the 20 MLAs in Belfast.

If the needle exchange facility run by Extern closes and cannot find a new building in Belfast city centre, the impact could be serious. We need a practical solution that protects public health, supports recovery & keeps Belfast city centre clean, safe and thriving.

When racist violence erupted last summer, inaction from the executive let it fester and emboldened fascists. Stormont has a leadership vacuum on this and other issues. When far-right thugs try to lynch migrant workers outside McDonalds, silence from elected representatives is complicity.

We need a new approach to drug and alcohol misuse in Belfast. We can't ignore rising drug deaths & the impact of zero tolerance policies. Let's make Belfast the first harm reduction city in Ireland, support our night time economy & make this city a model of progressive change.
