Tonight the Alliance Party brought a motion to committee on the "Vital Role of Trees", admirable of course but there are more than a few flaws... 1/9 🧵

Time to bar the executive parties from pride parades. No funding since 2005. An undelivered strategy promised since 2007. Cruel ban on puberty blockers announced via tweet. Social progress facing backlash. 27yrs of those 5 parties in power. What have they done for us? 1/2

Dear Stormont, 27 years of broken promises. Our schools crumble, NHS struggles, and you ignore the cost-of-living crisis. We deserve better. The Green Party offers real change. Goodbye, Stormont. See you at the ballot box in 2027. Time for Real Change

Let's make Belfast Ireland’s first Harm Reduction City — tackling drug addiction with care, not criminalisation. Inspired by Bristol’s progressive public health model, Cllr Brian Smyth calls for a compassionate, evidence-based approach to drug policy — 1/2

Horrible incident last night on Donegall Rd, my thoughts are with the man attacked & hope he's doing ok. There is no place for racism on our streets. Please contact psni on 101 with ref 2059 of 15/05/25 if you have any info relating to this incident

Ive been working with the PSNI & Council for the swift removal of fly postering in the Belvoir area over the last few days. There's no place for thinly veiled racism here. Direct anger over housing to the exec parties thatve failed communities for decades. greenpartyni.org/cllr_groogan_c…

As Greens weve been pushing for movement on this for yrs. I opposed the flawed planning apps & pushed for Castlebrooke to come to Council & explain themselves & lack of any progress while historic buildings rot. Im hopeful we can get some good news v.soon! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What are the chances of a deal next month for Belfast City Council to buy the 18th century Assembly Rooms❓ Here's Cllr Áine Groogan of the Green Party.

I utterly condemn this incident, aimed at the Romanian community in South Belfast. Disgusting attempt to intimidate people who have every right to be here & should be allowed to live their life free from hate.

🚨In what will hopefully be a turning point in the whole sorry Castlebrooke saga, the Council has today officially agreed to make them an offer to buy the Assembly Rooms.🚨 Thank you to @ainegroogan and Cllr Brian Smyth for their heroic work on this.  limerickleader.ie/news/northern-…

In a much needed bit of good news for Belfast, Belfast City Council has agreed to move forward to purchase the Assembly Rooms! Bringing this historic & culturally significant building back into public ownership is a landmark move & I'm excited to see what the next chapter holds for it!

It's 2025 folks. Wise the f up. Paramilitaries are a scourge on our communities, offering nothing but fear & violence. This happens because of a lack of political leadership, & continued facilitation & legitimisation of these groups. I honestly despair for our future sometimes..
