My speech in the House of Commons today about housing.
Derry is one of the areas worst hit with the housing crisis with the highest house prices, highest homelessness rate and over 6,000 people waiting on the social housing waiting list.

Just back from a very productive meeting with the Minister of Health around Young People’s Mental Health and how important it is that real action is taken on it.

I have written today to the Minister of Infrastructure in support of the temporary suspension of roadworks in Derry during the O'Neills Foyle Cup
It is baffling how there was suspension for The Open, an event which was hosted 40 miles out of the city, and not one for the Foyle Cup.

I pledged to fight for Votes at 16 — and it’s happening. I’m so proud to have played a part in making it a reality, alongside so many passionate Youth Parliament members. This is a huge win for young voices. Grateful, proud, and ready for what’s next. 💪

Tonight, I attended a public meeting on defending Ireland’s military neutrality in the Maldron Hotel because our neutrality is a strength, something we should take pride in as a nation and that we should always look after.

The Courts ruling around the A5 upgrade is deeply disappointing.
Building the A5 is a vital infrastructure upgrade that would, create jobs, reduce journey times and most importantly- save lives.
While this ruling is a setback, I welcome the Minister’s assurance that the A5 will be built.
