Lough Neagh belongs to all of us. Today we gathered at Stormont to demand urgent action to protect it. We need to tackle pollution, invest in our water infrastructure & properly enforce environmental protections. 💚 Save Lough Neagh.

What is happening to our waterways? Green water and dead fish at Crawfordsburn. An ecological crisis at Lough Neagh. And only 29% of NI's rivers are in good or high ecological condition. Whatever the explanation at Crawfordsburn, we should expect much better from DAERA & the Environment Minister.

Green Party councillor Anthony Flynn has been selected by the party to run in the 2027 Assembly election in North Down. He said the “Alliance surge” of 2022 played a part in the Greens being wiped out in the Assembly, but the party was “very confident” of winning in North Down next year.

Public transport isn't a luxury. It's how people get to work, education and healthcare. If we want stronger communities and a stronger economy, we need to stop treating buses and trains as an afterthought. 🚍🌿

While others spread fear and division, community organisations, faith groups, churches and local residents across Belfast are providing support, accommodation and relief to families in crisis. They are the unsung heroes of our communities. Thank you.

The scenes from Belfast last night are sickening. Families being forced from their homes in racist pogroms. Children being led to safety. Public services coming under attack. Check in on your neighbours over the coming days, many will be feeling anxous and fearful.

Great to call into Ballyhackamore Library today to meet new branch manager Brendan Crossan and mark Mental Health Awareness Week. Libraries are vital community spaces that help tackle loneliness and isolation while bringing people together. These spaces matter now more than ever.

The Green Party brought forward buffer zones to stop the harassment and intimidation of women and pregnant people accessing healthcare. Nobody should be targeted outside a clinic during an already vulnerable moment in their life. The courts have upheld the law and it is working as intended.

Wild how barely any time has passed since Jon Burrows was elected UUP leader, and they're already trying to outdo the DUP over who can be most cruel to Trans folks. All that matters is the culture war, embarrassing stuff.

High Court has ruled the UK Government acted unlawfully & disproportionately in proscribing Palestine Action under terrorism legislation. Terror laws must address genuine threats, not political dissent. Civil liberties & peaceful protest are core democratic protections, and Greens will defend them.

I voted in favour at the second vote, as it included getting a report back on a new potential site. Was being pragmatic and not to cut my nose off to spite my face. I voted for the Alliance proposal first to reject it, in order to get a ready made back up ready to go. Stop covering for Sinn Fein.

As a local Councillor, if I did something as reckless as Gordon Lyons I would be held accountable by the local government commissioner for standards, and likely suspended or disqualified from my public role. A Stormont minister though?.. absolutely nothing. 1/2

Belfast is now the most congested city in the UK. We can do better. The Ravenhill Road cycle lane consultation is a real opportunity to create safer, cleaner streets. Young people’s voices must be central to this. I’ve asked the DfI to consult with local schools. Let's build a cleaner Belfast.

There's only one social media app that has led to me having to make statements to the PSNI for harassment, twice. Good riddance to X, an absolute cesspool of far-right fascists, obsessive transphobes and nonses sexualising children.

Sinn Féin must come clean on fox hunting They voted against banning it in the Dáil, just as they have opposed a ban in the Assembly. When given the chance to end this cruelty, they choose to defend it. You can't claim to stand for animal welfare while voting to keep bloodsports legal. Shameful.

The Supreme Court ruling on mandatory Christian worship in NI schools is a major step forward. Huge respect to the father and daughter who took this case. No child should be pushed into a worldview that isn’t theirs. It’s time for modern, balanced and pluralistic RE in NI.

The greyhound racing industry here is unregulated, unaccountable and on the run because they know the public are onto them. Where are the official stats for dogs killed and injured on the tracks in Northern Ireland? Why are the Alliance Party providing them cover?

Greyhound racing in Northern Ireland is a welfare crisis hiding in plain sight. No regulation. No oversight. No justice for the dogs harmed or discarded. I’ve submitted a motion to Belfast City Council to ban greyhound racing. 📢 Sign the petition: www.greenpartyni.org/ban_greyhoun... 📬
No more excuses, no more dead dogs. Ban greyhound racing now.

The real reasons the DUP are spending so much time talking about useless culture wars is because they are 1. Terrified of the TUV and 2. Totally and utterly incompetent in government. The problem isn't pronouns, it's poverty, pollution, and power.
