We loved dropping into the One Young World legacy event in Stormont this week! Meeting the change makers of tomorrow.
I love watching young people grow in confidence due to events like this. Thank you to the OYW 2023 team for their focus on importance of peace & reconciliation.
Vital that we see funding allocated to #childcare in Education NI budget - this must be seen as an investment that underpins all other NI Executive priorities.
Childcare plays a key role in lifting families out of poverty, supporting parents to work, growing the economy + MORE!

I've spoken to the PSNI in relation to the ongoing incident at Wellington College and Carolan Road, off the Ormeau Road. My understanding is that there is nothing sinister involved and hopefully it can be resolved routinely.

Wonderful initiative from Queen's University Belfast 🎓. Supporting and sustaining Palestinian academics and students in the most trying of circumstances. Very proud to see this from South Belfast's world leading institution.
SDLP's Matthew O'Toole used to work in the bar of Downpatrick Cricket Club.
The late John Hume & Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness were also cricket fans.
News of Cricket Ireland test match at Stormont in July has been welcomed. 🏏☘️
Delighted to hear this news, after some queries were raised over funding, and well done all Cricket Ireland who worked to make it happen🏏👏
🌍Planet vs Plastics. Which would you rather? This #EarthDay2024 is a time to highlight the health risk of plastic, to phase out single use plastics and create a more sustainable future for future generations ➡️

What a happy and sunny but purposeful MeltedParentsNI march today.
The warm words about childcare support from the Executive parties need to be matched by firm plans and delivery.
The Opposition will keep pressing.
Trademarket is a success story. Great food, good beer (I even bought long-suffering team one tbis afternoon) and an incubator for new biz.
I've submitted questions to Department for Infrastructure asking the minister to facilitate a move to Bankmore Sq next door when the current lease runs out.
