Contrast the DUP slogan “Making Northern Ireland work” with the reality of their Ministers actions around Casement Park & Gaelic games!
The Minister must start leading & taking a pro-active approach to work through funding issues, not further dither & delay! #BuildCasementPark

"The DUP may deny it, but the party centrally has decided on a strategy which involves running down the clock on Casement. Planning permission for the redevelopment expires next year."
DUP dragging its feet on Casement Park will score party points but damage the Union over the long term
Old habits die hard, and the DUP seems set on following its traditional route at Stormont.

🚝🚗 How can it be possible that we raise the capacity at the Belfast Grand Central Station and NOT increase the capacity of our trains for everyone to actually travel there?????
Will continue to call this out and work towards a solution. #belfastcongestion #publictransport

Motor fuel may have dropped in price, but it’s ridiculous that full savings aren’t being passed to consumers, the regulator said in July that drivers had been overcharged on fuel by £1.6bn in 2023.

🧠The biggest cancer killer in under 40 year olds is Brain Cancer / tumours
Yet in UK only 1% of cancer research funding is dedicated.
Was great to catch up with Colin from Brainwaves again this morning, to discuss provision and increasing research here.

If we are serious about tackling violence against women and girls, then we need to raise the bar regarding interactions between Ministers and MLAs.
Aggressive interaction between men in power and female MLAs is part of a continuum of unacceptable behaviour.
It starts with us. #EVAWG
