RT @PatriciaOLynn: It was such a privilege to meet @shakespeare_d and @aboyd44 today at QUB Center for Children’s Rights where they shared the story behind #HarrysLaw
This is such important work which @niassembly needs to progress.
We need the Assembly to function in order to protect children.
RT @Chris_Lyttle: Good to catch up with @shakespeare_d @aboyd44 and support the @ChildRightsQUB seminar on the courageous and dedicated advocacy for Harry’s Law to reform the restraint and seclusion of children. A key action for the Northern Ireland Assembly. @PatriciaOLynn
RT @CllrMichaelLong: Great initiative and we need more of these across the city
@niall_perry @BrianShannon123 We weren't. It was a temporary measure for 5 days to ensure kids heading to exams during a period of industrial action could get there on time. We're not arguing against bus or cycle lanes - we actually campaigned to get the Glider on the main road to protect the Comber Greenway.
@pmcpface @BrianShannon123 @PMcReynoldsMLA I wasn't suggesting doing it one at a time...
And I agree we can do more.
@SteveDonnelly95 I met him at the premiere and was a total fan-girl.
I cried more than once watching the Finale, remembering just how much courage it took to dare to hope for better.
We forget how far we've come at our peril.
RT @SteveDonnelly95: As one who would have been only a little older than the child on his lap when these conversations were going on, I couldn’t help feel hugely moved by this scene.
Our generation; the first to have the chance to grow up differently.
What an outstanding end to a remarkable story.
@LisaMMcGee @ChelseaClinton What an end to a show that was a work of genius, start to finish! Amazing stuff 👏
RT @NualaMcAllister: Updating the RSE that is provided by all schools is well overdue. We need standardised, inclusive & evidence based education taught around relationships and sexuality.
RT @allianceparty: The launch of a new relationship and sexuality education (RSE) programme for Catholic primary schools here has highlighted the pressing need for standardised RSE across Northern Ireland, Alliance MLA @NualaMcAllister has said.
RT @AmandaFBelfast: Pure buzzin' to have written this for @openDemocracy My thanks to #DerryGirls❣️
Thank you, Derry Girls, for telling the story of my complicated adolescence https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/derry-girls-final-good-friday-agreement-northern-ireland-my-childhood/?utm_source=tw
@Oates1592 @StephenFarryMP So much wrong in one tweet.
We'll keep on telling people we're neither unionist or nationalist for as long as it takes for people to accept that's how it is.
Judging by your tweet, we'll be going for a while yet. 🙄
@Patrici78263991 @eastantrimmp @allianceparty It did. After oir electoral success in 2019, parties abandoned their plans for fresh elections and reformed an Executive. Your recall of what happened is really very poor.
@CHadhlaigh @eastantrimmp @allianceparty You don't think any unionists have terminations? Or speak Irish?
And they aren't listening to anyone in NI on legacy.
@The_Brain_1968 @PoliceServiceNI @TRPNI You seem to have me confused with the Public Prosecution Service. They are responsible for decision regarding prosecution, and are entirely independent of my office.
@BrianShannon123 Next time you're passing, feel free to call in for a chat, either with me or with @PMcReynoldsMLA.
Happy to talk about permanent improvements we could make to cycling infrastructure in East Belfast.
@BrianShannon123 The cycle lane is sadly already shared by buses which are generally wider than cars, and pollution in congestion is worse than in free-flowing traffic.
It was a temporary measure to ease congestion due to a public transport strike, as walking/cycling isn't an option for many.1/2
RT @rossalliance: Belfast City Hall will light up again tonight to support #WorldIBDDay. IBD UK reports that IBD services are well below standards in Belfast. Need for an Exec to act. And councils - like BCC - can be doing much more too (incl. raising awareness & greater public toilet provision).
RT @PaulaJaneB: How sickening to read this!! This poor woman, just trying to get on with her life being subjected to such sustained and hurtful abuse and attacks.
We must all stand in solidarity with members of the trans community and not let their right to private lives impeded in any way 🏳️⚧️
RT @PBNINews: Our Victim Information Unit provides support, reassurance & information to victims of Crime to help them through their traumatic experience. If you have been a victim of #HateCrime because you are #LGBTQIA, register at https://www.pbni.org.uk/what-we-do/victim-information-scheme/
