That's how we protect the peace we've fought so hard for." 4/4

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 29/09/2026

Drumcree isn't a one-off crisis. It's a symptom of a political system that finds it easier to manage division than resolve it, and mediation has to be led by people equipped to find compromise, not by politicians or institutions that have already proven they can't. 3/4

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 29/09/2026

Green Party Belfast City Council Group Leader Brian Smyth said: "We need mediators with no stake in our politics, but real experience resolving conflicts every bit as entrenched as ours. Outside parties need to step back and let both sides actually talk. 2/4

Garvaghy Road residents have called for independent international mediation in the Drumcree dispute. We agree: this can't be fixed by the same institutions that caused it. 1/4

There is a lot of “blame” going around, much of it probably deserved. We chose to focus on ways to resolve this and other issues and get past this.

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 27/09/2026

Northern Ireland deserves better than repeatedly returning to the unresolved fights of the 1990s. We need independent mediation, institutions that function, and honesty about our shared past. Nothing less will stop us coming back here again." 6/6

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 27/09/2026

Drumcree is a symptom of a bigger problem. Nearly three decades into peace, we have still never agreed a comprehensive mechanism for dealing with our past. Until we do, the same flashpoints will keep reopening, again and again. 5/6

The people of the Garvaghy Road have been badly served by institutions and political parties that have used them as bargaining chips. 4/6

Belfast City Council group leader Cllr Brian Smyth said: "There is now a clear case for independent international mediation, involving people with no stake in our internal politics but real, hard-won experience of resolving conflicevery bit as entrenched as ours elsewhere. 3/6

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 27/09/2026

Nearly thirty years after the Good Friday Agreement, we should not be reopening the same wounds; we should build on the peace process and deliver institutional change that protects people in a settlement based on human rights and justice for all.” 2/6

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 27/09/2026

Independent mediation now. Green Party Deputy Leader Lesley Veronica said: "What we have seen at Drumcree is a failure of politics, a failure of process, and most importantly, a failure to properly listen to the people who have lived with the consequences of this dispute for decades. 1/6

We need real action on pollution, proper investment in our water infrastructure, and environmental protections that are enforced. Every delay makes restoring Lough Neagh harder. Save Lough Neagh 💚 2/2

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 27/09/2026

Lough Neagh is part of our shared home. Today we stood with others at Stormont to call for clean water and urgent action to protect one of our most important natural resources. Toxic algae cannot be allowed to become normal. 1/2

“Today, the Parades Commission allowed a restricted parade down the Garvaghy Road, first time in almost 30 years. This is not a moment for triumphalism, but responsibility. We owe the next generation a broken cycle, not a repeated one.” 1/2

It means changing the conditions that make people feel there's no way out, before they ever reach that point. Today we remember those we've lost, and we keep working for a Northern Ireland that catches people long before crisis point. 3/4

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 10/09/2026

We are told to be resilient, while the things that make resilience possible get quietly taken away. Suicide prevention has to mean more than a crisis line, though crisis lines save lives and you should never hesitate to use one. 2/4

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 10/09/2026

People don't just fall through the cracks. Sometimes the cracks are left there on purpose. Underfunded mental health services. Poverty. Homelessness. Isolation. Discrimination. Years-long waiting lists. A benefits system that punishes disabled people for being disabled. 1/4

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 09/09/2026

Investment in early years should be strategic, not scattered. Real fairness is built through proper public investment, not by quietly removing the rule that protected the children who needed it most. 4/5

132

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 09/09/2026

Cllr Brian Smyth, GPNI Assembly candidate for East Belfast, said: "This is about a sharp class divide that already shapes children's lives before they ever start school. Removing this protection now does not close that gap, it widens it before these children have even walked through the door." 3/5

122

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 09/09/2026

At a minimum this change should be delayed until every child, without exception, has access to 22.5 hours of pre-school. Repeal the criterion before that point & you’re not levelling the playing field, you are removing protection for a generation of children while the pitch is still half built. 2/5

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 09/09/2026

Paul Givan says fairness means scrapping priority for disadvantaged children in pre-school admissions. Real fairness means finishing the job first. Only 65% of children currently have a full-time pre-school place. This is not a universal system yet, whatever the Minister calls it. 1/5

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 08/09/2026

This is exactly why GPNI is calling for an Independent Environmental Protection Agency, so pollution, oversight, and enforcement of our water infrastructure stop being a political afterthought and start being a legal requirement. 5/6

111

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 08/09/2026

Nearly 39,000 families are stuck in housing stress partly because stalled developments can’t get connected, while house prices keep climbing and the wider economy risks falling billions behind by 2040 if nothing changes. 4/6

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 08/09/2026

Cllr Anthony Flynn, candidate for North Down: “Lough Neagh showed us what happens when water & environmental oversight are left to chance. Uninspected storm overflows & blocked connections across the network are the same failure, just less visible until the bill lands on every household.” 3/6

111

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 08/09/2026

17,500 homes can’t even connect to the wastewater network. 1,200 storm overflows haven’t even been inspected. This is the same underfunded, unaccountable system that has let Lough Neagh rot for years. It’s not a coincidence, it’s a pattern. 2/6

Green Party Northern Ireland @greenpartyni.org · 08/09/2026

£5,500. That’s how much worse off every household in Northern Ireland could be, every year, by 2040, if our water infrastructure isn’t fixed. That’s not our modelling. That’s industry itself, sounding the alarm. 1/6

“Here in Northern Ireland, we don’t even have equivalent published figures. There’s no legislation, no DAERA oversight, no accountability.” “Scotland and Wales have already banned greyhound racing. We remain an outlier alongside England, the Republic, Australia and the US.” 4/5

“Northern Ireland is now down to a single operating track, at Brandywell in Derry. The market is telling us this so-called sport has no future.” “In the Republic, 197 greyhounds died and 344 were injured at tracks in 2025, the second-highest death toll on record.” 3/5

Instead of tackling that record, the DUP reaches for culture wars, particularly on climate action, rather than honest solutions. Working class communities deserve better: practical answers, honest leadership, and a future built on opportunity, dignity and fairness.
