Seeing videos of parts of Belfast flooded, due to Storm Bert. This city's crumbling waste water infrastructure leaves it at serious risk. Meanwhile the Stormont Executive shows little urgency to fund it and that it is growing into a public health crisis.

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.
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?
I was on Nolan today talking on how Twitter/X is now running a business model that tolerates & profits from the sexual abuse & exploitation of women & children through AI deepfakes. Any political party or public rep who keeps treating X as a normal platform, while knowing this, is complicit.
Thanks to Belfast Telegraph for covering the Drug Testing at Festivals motion, delighted it was formally agreed at Council last night. Harm reduction & clear information will save lives. As a Green councillor in Belfast, I am done listening to some moralise, whilst people needlessly die.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Minister Tim Mander was in New Zealand on Wednesday night when his lawyers informed him he'd been referred to the AFP. Should not the next call he made have been to Premier David Crisafulli? The premier was informed through the media at lunchtime Thursday. #qldpol
Poisoned & burned: How Canada turned soldiers into lab rats From 1941 to 1989, for nearly 50 years at Alberta’s Suffield Experimental Station, about 4,000 Canadian military volunteers- mostly young, low-ranking soldiers- were exposed to chemical warfare agents in secret defensive trials.

“When ISIS fighters are wounded, they are transported to Israel to be treated by Israelis in Israeli hospitals and brought back to the battlefield.” This is a former FBI official saying this. I don’t know what other evidence you need.

There is no amount of fuel that can be safely stored at the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub. We need to create a plan to cease operations entirely. I’m running for City Council because we need legislators who are prioritizing emergency preparedness and public safety over fossil fuel corporations.

AI is booming. The broader economy, not so much. That matters because workers and small businesses don’t all live inside one tech boom.
