Belfast is now the most congested city in the UK. We can do better.
The Ravenhill Road cycle lane consultation is a real opportunity to create safer, cleaner streets. Young people’s voices must be central to this. I’ve asked the DfI to consult with local schools.
Let's build a cleaner Belfast.

I raised concerns at Louth County Council about continued use of X, following serious safeguarding issues linked to its AI tool, Grok. Until this is fully reviewed, I believe we must act responsibly especially when it comes to images of children and young people.

XTwitter and Grok are enabling child sexual abuse material. Ask your local representatives and parties when they are leaving.

There's only one social media app that has led to me having to make statements to the PSNI for harassment, twice.
Good riddance to X, an absolute cesspool of far-right fascists, obsessive transphobes and nonses sexualising children.

We've launched an investigation into X over Grok sexualised imagery.
We've opened a formal investigation into X under the Online Safety Act, to determine whether it has complied with its duties to protect people in the UK from content that is illegal in the UK.

We’re leaving X.
Not for clicks.
Not for politics.
For safety, democracy and basic responsibility.
We won’t stay on a platform that fails children, enables deepfake abuse and fuels disinformation.
But this is not an exit from the conversation.
It’s a move to better spaces.
Come with us.

Sinn Féin must come clean on fox hunting
They voted against banning it in the Dáil, just as they have opposed a ban in the Assembly. When given the chance to end this cruelty, they choose to defend it.
You can't claim to stand for animal welfare while voting to keep bloodsports legal.
Shameful.

The Supreme Court ruling on mandatory Christian worship in NI schools is a major step forward.
Huge respect to the father and daughter who took this case.
No child should be pushed into a worldview that isn’t theirs. It’s time for modern, balanced and pluralistic RE in NI.

The greyhound racing industry here is unregulated, unaccountable and on the run because they know the public are onto them.
Where are the official stats for dogs killed and injured on the tracks in Northern Ireland? Why are the Alliance Party providing them cover?

Cllr Anthony Flynn called for a full ban on greyhound racing at Belfast City Council. But Alliance watered it down - replacing a ban with “regulation” of an unregulated, cruel industry. The Greens stand for animal welfare, not compromise. #BanGreyhoundRacing

Greyhound racing in Northern Ireland is a welfare crisis hiding in plain sight. No regulation. No oversight. No justice for the dogs harmed or discarded.
I’ve submitted a motion to Belfast City Council to ban greyhound racing.

The real reasons the DUP are spending so much time talking about useless culture wars is because they are 1. Terrified of the TUV and 2. Totally and utterly incompetent in government.
The problem isn't pronouns, it's poverty, pollution, and power.

Good to see the UK government finally make the decision to recognise the state of Palestine 🇵🇸
However, it's frankly the bare minimum at a time when the UK still arms the genocidal Israeli government. There should be nothing short of a full arms embargo! #FreePalestine

Hearing local political reps spout their own ideas of the motive behind Charlie Kirks murder is galling and comes across so disingenuous, especially when no one has been caught or charged.
Political violence in all its forms is terrifying, and I fear where the US is heading.
