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.

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.
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
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.
People in NI have been failed for decades by the Stormont Executive. Migrants aren't to blame for collapsing public services, a lack of social homes, rising NHS waiting lists. It's down to Stormont and how they have prioritised division over investment in abandoned communities.
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.

When politicians on the right, including the DUP say rising energy costs are linked to net zero & climate policies, they are full of crap. Today BP announced profits that have doubled in 3 months, because of war in the Middle East. This is obscene & corporate greed, hurting communities across NI.
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.
The Sinn Fein minister responsible for transport policy is failing Belfast. There is no imagination to reduce car dependency & strengthen public transport. As Greens we believe there are alternatives, greater investment in buses, cycling & walking. Delivering cleaner streets & healthier outcomes.
1 in 5 MLAs are landlords. Many councillors & their family members also are. Is there the political will to tackle the housing crisis? The housing crisis in NI has been created by the 5 parties who have been in power for 28 years. Connect the dots. It’s not the fault of minority communities.

This is a great video essay about how women's desire has been devalued and that's led to the death of romcoms in Western media. The only thing missing is no mention of kdramas or cdramas.

Los Angeles needs 450k units of housing today. I’m going to Congress to finally fully fund Section 8 and get people housed. Make it federal policy for LA to upzone to multi-family home zones everywhere and to modernize permitting. Solve housing and we solve affordability, jobs and homelessness.
