I have long supported and spoken up for votes at 16 right from my days as a local Councillor, I am pleased that we in Alliance will be pressing to ensure Votes at 16 are in place for the 2027 Assembly and Council elections.

Young people deserve to have their voices heard.

Spiking is a vile and dangerous act and introducing a new standalone criminal offence is a vital step in protecting our communities.

This is a key measure in the fight to tackle violence against women and girls.

With high temperatures, the USPCA is advising dog owners to take extra care to protect the welfare of their pets.

Never leave a dog in a car on a hot day & always be careful around walking them during spells of warm weather. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ•

Less than a week left to let @meabc.bsky.social know that families and ratepayers in Greenisland deserve to have our access to our community beach at the Green Island restored. It's been denied too long. Please respond and share. Thanks!

More Government failures. Since last July, the Government has made and continued a series of cruel moves targeting the most vulnerable in our society.

It's time for Labour to deliver the change they promised at the last election.

Today, @scdicksonmla.bsky.social presented a petition to the Assembly on behalf of Isla Gear and @pancreaticcanuk.bsky.social, the biggest relating to pancreatic cancer ever in the UK.

In NI it's the deadliest common cancer, and we must act urgently to make early detection a reality, not a rarity.
