That's my mummy in the centre of this picture. She's expecting me at the time. My Granny, Annie Mary Gildernew to her right and my God mother, Mary Theresa to her left. They have just been violently evicted from the home they occupied in Caledon in protest of the fact . 1/2

Spoke today condemning the vile racist effigy of refugees on Moygashel bonfire. Locals in Moygashel & Dungannon are scared and disgusted. This is not culture — it’s hate.Refugees are our neighbours & friends. This incitement to hatred must be removed now. Leaders must speak out.

Vile, racist effigies & posters atop Moygashel bonfire must be removed immediately. This is not culture.This disgusting act, fuelled by sickening racist attitudes, is a clear incitement to hatred. All political leaders must step up, condemn it outright & demand its removal now.

Today I questioned the Communities Minister on the long-overdue Irish language strategy. After 17 months in office, there's still no clarity. The delay—alongside efforts to block Irish signage—suggests Minister Lyons is more interested in restricting Irish than promoting it.

The draft #AntiPoverty Strategy is undeniably weak. The DUP Communities Minister must take the concerns seriously and engage with these groups who have the skills, knowledge, and experience to help shape the anti-poverty strategy, so it truly delivers for those who need it most.

The British govt's plan to slash support for the sick and disabled is grotesque—a direct attack on the most vulnerable. If there's money for war, there's money to protect those who can't work. Sinn Féin will keep fighting these cruel cuts and demand real investment in people.

As Chair of Communities Committee, I’ve worked with Scotland & Wales to oppose Labour’s cruel plan to cut #disability support. Today we issued a joint letter—united against this shameful attack. I'll keep fighting to protect #disabled people from Labour’s reckless, heartless cuts
