Here’s the Irish speaking & Dublin-born Camerlengo, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, announcing the death of Pope Leo XIV this morning. Francis gave voice to the poor, the marginalised and innocent victims of conflicts around the world, most recently in Gaza. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

I've asked that Belfast City Council open a Book of Condolence in the City Hall following the death of Pope Francis. People of all faiths and none have followed Francis' message of humility, tolerance and have stood with him as he stood up for for the oppressed and for our planet.

The Book of Condolence will open tomorrow - 23rd April - at 12.30

Torr Head on Wednesday. In the distance (L-R) you can see Raithlin, Islay, Jura and Kintyre. Really beautiful place.

Perfectly put. The last year has convinced me and many other parents that children should not be anywhere near a single Meta product - not Facebook, Instagram or the so-called 'Metaverse'. Or any social media really.

Absolutely stunning dusk sky at Nendrum Monastery site, Mahee Island yesterday evening. Founded in the 5th century and with the world’s oldest tide-mill, it’s beautiful and place steeped in history.

There are 5 Executive Party MLAs in North Belfast. And not one of them can get the NI Executive to find £5,000 for some bollards on Hill St. Not one. If anything shows the failure of government in NI and how it fails North Belfast, this is it ⬇️

I'll be shocked if John O'Dowd actually does this. It's a no-brainer and unlike most government incentive schemes which cost the ratepayer, this would both reduce dereliction while paying the ratepayer directly.

The callers on Stephen Nolan today were interesting - like on many issues people ahead of politicians. Good discussion.

Joint statement on Palestine

The most amazing thing about this TUV/Transcribing story on Stephen Nolan is that you can stick on various AIs while any show is on and it'll transcribe it there and then for you. For next to nothing!

Graffiti like this is disgusting - no other word for it - it has no place in any part of Belfast and does not represent the thoughts or views of most people who live here. It will always be called out and will always be removed. Thanks to the Belfast City Council staff who did so.

Today’s disgraceful nonsense on immigrants & immigration rightly called out by Matthew O'Toole

Some of the people cheering this decision in NI are the same people who tell my constituents they have to accept UDA and UVF flags in their street. You don't need to condone every antic by Kneecap to see this as a deeply tone deaf thing to do while a genocide unfolds.

Like you need to be told 🤦🏻‍♂️

Today we brought the first substantive Assembly motion on NI re-entering the EU. Alliance abstained, after slurs and petty name calling. Disappointingly, barely half of SF MLAs bothered to vote for a new Ireland. We will keep making the case for a new Ireland back in Europe.

Paul is one of the most committed and hard working people I’ve come across anywhere in politics or working life. He will be a great deputy Lord Mayor - congratulations Paul Doherty 👏🏻

Interesting story… And a reminder that NI’s £11bn local government pension fund has invested £0.00 in housing locally… And last time I asked just £15m directly in NI.

Hard to know where to start with this @bbcni story: 1. First, if SF want to save Belfast ratepayers money, they could ask the SF Finance Minister to hand over the £3m the Department of Finance got for Belfast Council National Insurance increases but hasn't been passed on to the
