✈️ When Stansted Airport got its rail link in 1991, it handled just over 1 million passengers a year. Between them, Belfast’s two airports serve 9 million passengers a year - but neither has a working rail connection. Anyone who thinks our airports don’t have the numbers to

To my mind reading this, the report is clearly delayed. @dhoneyford is right to talk about a delay.

A recent Reddit thread on Belfast traffic summed it up well: Gridlock, poor enforcement, unreliable buses, missing cycle lanes - and no real alternative to driving. The consensus? Build reliable transport first, then manage car demand. #belfastcircleline #openKnockmore

My favourite comment from yesterday’s abuse was that I “hang around west Belfast a lot” — apparently taking my wee girl to ballet twice a week changes my politics 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll never apologise for giving my child opportunities, no matter where they are! 👊

Sister Stan RIP. She is being described as an advocate and a campaigner. But she was, above all, a devout disciple of Jesus Christ who lived the Gospel to her fingertips. We’ll never see her like again.

“FOR CRYING OUT LOUD” Can a society really afford to sideline art which has as its basis a 2,000 year old Christian foundation? Can art forms that have as a biblical narrative, expressed in enduring painting, masterly architecture or soul-lifting music be relegated to a mere

It's gonna be a long night for poor Charley. He's so distressed by the constant huge explosions from the fireworks in our district. I would call for a review of the legislation governing the sale and size of fireworks. It's crazy.

This afternoon, participants continued their #journey by attending a series of #workshops and seminars — spaces of reflection, #dialogue, and #encounter. 👉 Together, we deepened our understanding of #synodality, exploring new ways to walk, #listen, and discern as one #Church.

I was wondering about that as well.
In February, the then @deptinfra Minister @JohnODowdSF confirmed to @dhoneyford that the @Translink_NI feasibility study into reopening the Knockmore Train Line would likely be complete by March 2025. It’s now the end of October - still no publication of the study.
