sMYTH BUSTING the Green Party, part 2: The Greens want to ban cars. No we don't. We want to strengthen public transport & active travel. Our roads are congested & filled with dirty air. 34% of people in Belfast don't have access to a car. Is this really the best we can do?

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.
Belfast city centre is at a crossroads. Will community need beat developer greed? We say yes. Time for overdose prevention, safer streets, and real public transport - not empty promises or empty buildings. A greener, fairer Belfast starts now. #BelfastCityCentre #GreenPartyNI
The new figures for drug deaths in Northern Ireland show a 48.5% increase. Stormont is burying its head in the sand, this is cowardice. The Portuguese model of decriminalisation for small amounts on people's possession offers an alternative. Treat addiction as a health matter & not a criminal one.
It's been reported today that nearly half of those arrested in Northern Ireland last August during the racist violence, have previously been reported for domestic abuse. Don't tell me the biggest threat to women and children comes from immigrants, it's mostly comes from local straight white men.
I spoke at Council on Thursday about the deepening homelessness crisis & deaths in the city. Myself & Cllr Áine Groogan also met the Welcome Organisation this week to see the pressures they are under. I want to thank Lord Mayor Tracy Kelly for seeing the urgency in dealing with this.
Belfast needs an overdose prevention centre. Lives are needlessly being lost. We need leadership from Stormont, especially the Health & Justice Ministers. Are they worried by how some voters will feel about the prospect of an overdose prevention centre, 20 months out from an election?
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.
sMYTH BUSTING the Green Party, Pt 3: The Greens don't get the cost of living crisis The working and middle classes are being squeezed, while Stormont shows no ambition or bravery. We want to build a new Green economy, create thousands of jobs/apprenticeships, and end fuel poverty.
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.
Cherryvale Park update: he huge fallen tree from Storm Eowyn has now been cleared, we will be undertaking tree planting come the Autumn. I have asked for this in other South & East Belfast parks. I've also asked for any new entrance on that side to include pedestrian access.

Gas prices are rising because of Trump's war of choice in Iran. But that is not an excuse for oil companies to illegally profiteer off the backs of hardworking Nevadans. My legislation is about preventing illegal price gouging and helping Nevadans struggling with soaring costs.

The 1921 French epic L'ATLANTIDE is slower than molasses and I love it so. Shot on location in Algeria and starring Stacia Napierkowska as Queen Antinea, who kidnaps French soldiers, drives them to their deaths and then bronzes their bodies for decor. God forbid a woman should have hobbies.
