Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan has said serious public safety concerns remain and further questions need to be answered after more asbestos was reportedly found at a bonfire site in the Village area of south Belfast. Pat Sheehan sinnfein.ie/news/serious-p…

Will arrest a grandmother putting a sticker on a wall, won't act against an illegal and dangerous loyalist pyre, won't remove a racist display on a bonfire - but will seize boards for a mural of a dead republican. How thick can the PSNI be. tiktok.com/@revolutionary…

How can anyone think it’s acceptable to light an illegal bonfire that threatens the power supply to Belfast’s two main hospitals and releases toxic asbestos into the air? At a time when leadership was most needed, political unionism has failed, leaving communities at risk.

Here’s the bottom line. The OO parents are saying: “I don’t want my children playing with the likes of them!” All the stuff about the GAA is a smokescreen for pure unadulterated bigotry.

BBC framing of the Comber Orange Lodge opposition to an inclusive kids sports day is a disgrace. Rather than calling out the outrageous intolerance on display the GAA and young children are presented as the problem.

I sign this letter because history shows us that when people stand up to injustice, those in power often reach for the same old playbook: label dissent as dangerous, criminalise protest, and try to silence movements for change by branding them as extremists or terrorists. 🧵 1/4

“We name things after people we believe should be honoured. People we revere, whose legacy we want to live on.” David Brooks, DUP. So much to unpack there. Let’s start with Chichester, Craigavon & a nod to the large image of Cromwell on the banner of Comber’s Orange lodge.

Pat Sheehan and I recently visited M.E. Support N.I's new offices — a great charity supporting people with M.E. As part of Féile an Phobail, they’re hosting an important conversation next week focused on the lived experience of M.E. — an event I’d highly recommend attending.

44 years ago at 7:15pm on 2 August, 1981 IRA Volunteer Kieran Doherty from Andersonstown, West Belfast died after 73 days on hunger strike. His cause was the freedom & unity of Ireland, a cause we continue to pursue today. "They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds."

“Highlighting the ongoing devastation in Gaza is not a crime. The real crime is Israel’s policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide, aided and abetted by the US and Britain.” - Pat Sheehan MLA
