Thank you to everyone who came along tonight to cheer me on as I take up the role of Lord Mayor of Belfast.
I am honestly so honoured to have been given this opportunity to represent our great city. I won’t let you down.

Alliance won't accept another decade of health service decline.
In 2016, Professor Bengoa gave us a blueprint to fix our health service. In 2026 things have only gotten worse.
That's why we've written to party leaders to sign a cross-party compact on health transformation.

🚍Public transport is not a luxury. It’s a lifeline.
NI spends less than half of the UK average on public transport. We can’t afford another cut to funding.
The Minister needs to recognise accessible public transport leads to a greener, better-connected society.
I’m working to save this iconic bookstore in our City Centre.
Short term I’m trying to get them an extension to their lease, while exploring a longer term solution.
They’ve started a GoFundMe to help with relocation costs - gofundme.com/f/save-our-book…

Certain political parties are playing games to try and destabilise our institutions and destabilise the peace process.
We cannot let this happen.
We must continue to move forward together and not allow 28 years of peace and progress to be disrupted.

A socially liberal, progressive party voting more often with other progressive parties than with conservative and right-wing parties.
Shock horror.
The votes were on conversion therapy, housing, regulation of flags and emblems, and the future of our environment.
Take off the orange and green goggles for a second, Paul. It’s tedious.
You must have forgotten the SDLP walking out of the Council chamber in Belfast…
Slightly hypocritical when the SDLP Cllrs on Belfast City Council have walked out of the Council chamber a number of times, sometimes in protest and sometimes to be strategically absent from a vote.

In the constant stream of Drumcree media, my mind keeps returning to the precious Quinn children. So much at stake right now, too big to be politicised & too awful to go back to. Whatever comes next must be built around the future we want for all our kids.
The past couple of days have been difficult for the Garvaghy Road community.
This could have been avoided, but reopened wounds take longer to heal, and so much trust has been lost.
We’re much further divided than we were last week.

.@AndyofAlliance is proud to call South Down his home💛
In 2022, you made history by electing the first cross-community Alliance MLA in the constituency.
Next May, we have the chance to do it again - choose hope over fear and lets build a shared future for everyone.

A 44-year-old man has been arrested for damaging the big fish in Belfast.
At around 12:30am police responded to reports of a man damaging the Salmon.
Extensive damage was caused to its left eye.
He was arrested for damage to the sculpture and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place. @BelTel
On today’s edition of ‘What’s going on outside City Hall?’ We have:
A group of Covid deniers, with posters on the fence.
An anti-abortion group (mainly men), with signage on the fence.
Flag protesters with a poster of Naomi Long up on the gates.
I’ve worked with Sian, in some form or another since 2013, she’s a grafter, she’s all in, and she cares deeply.
North Antrim deserves representation that reflects the community, Sian is first class representation.
Few others more passionate, hardworking, and caring, than Sian.
NEW: An ex-UUP councillor will contest N Antrim for the DUP in May’s Assembly election in a bid to reclaim the seat lost to Alliance in 2022. Darryl Wilson says: "The constituency would be much better served with an extra unionist than an Alliance MLA."

A happy Saturday! Started with calling in to see Youth Lyric students before their acting masterclass & then did some outreach in Balmoral & a little bit more in Carryduff. Talking to people on the doors is always a reminder the X narrative is not the general public narrative!💛

Girls have won the right to wear trousers to school! 👖🎉
Young campaigners spoke up, and their persistence has paid off.
This is about dignity, comfort and safety. It shouldn't have taken a campaign in 2026, but we're glad the Minister has finally listened.
