We are absolutely delighted, following an Alliance proposal which secured additional funding for a kerbside glass recycling scheme, that Belfast City Council is now in a position to recommend that the kerbside glass recycling is expanded across Ormiston for 26/27.

Nice buzz in Belfast. Continental Market with fly wee hot dog, and live music as part of Lord Mayor's Day. Only went and met the legend himself!

Flags symbolise our heritage and identity, but they can also be used to sow division, mark territory and instil fear.

That's why Paula Bradshaw has launched a consultation on her bill to change how we display flags in public spaces.

Make your voice heard.

Naomi Long MLA @naomilong.bsky.social · Nov 19

If we are serious about tackling violence against women and girls, then we need to raise the bar regarding interactions between Ministers and MLAs.

Aggressive interaction between men in power and female MLAs is part of a continuum of unacceptable behaviour.

It starts with us. #EVAWG
