😷 Proud to mark #VolunteersWeek2021 with fellow @UlsterGAA vols. helping in the #COVID19 vaccination centres. The GAA has been playing a huge role in this operation. We’re approaching 1.8 million vaccinations. Keep going & we’ll get there 🙏🏻

Heartbreaking to hear that Ciara Mageaan has passed away this morning.
A champion in every sense of the word and a role model for all athletes.
She represented her country with pride and helped put Irish athletics on the map. An Olympian and European Champion showed the clear talent she had.
And just like her sport, she faced her cancer diagnosis with bravery and determination.
Ciara's legacy will live on and she will continue to be an inspiration to many.
To her husband, Thomas, her family and friends our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

Sinn Féin Leader @MaryLouMcDonald welcomed the Taoiseach’s intention to bring a memorandum to Government on Ireland’s constitutional future.
"This is a moment for leadership and ambition. We must seize the opportunity to build a new and united Ireland and get on with the work of preparing for it."

☘️ Remember the buzz around Belfast during the Fleadh?
Today, Sinn Féin Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins launched plans to extend pedestrianisation to parts of the city centre all year round.
The aim is to give people more space to enjoy Belfast, support our bars, cafés and restaurants, and make better use of our city centre.
Let’s build on what worked during the Fleadh and unlock more of Belfast’s huge potential!

I’ll never forget this day.
The day Michelle O’Neill made her inaugural speech as First Minister.
I remember thinking one day my little girl might ask me - where was I that day mummy? So I jumped in my car knowing I could always answer - you were there my girl.
That you can be whatever you want to be.
That Nationalists NEED apply.
That you are not a second class citizen.
Because of Michelle O’Neill and the people that put her there. The only people who can decide who the First Minister of the day is.
Michelle O’Neill
Our First Minister 💚

💚 What a brilliant few weeks of the GAA, with football, hurling and camogie finals showcasing the talent, passion and pride that make Gaelic games so special.
A huge go raibh maith agaibh to everyone who makes it happen - those who take to the field, coach, officiate, volunteer behind the scenes, and turn up week after week to support their club.
Comhghairdeas to all the new county champions, and ádh mór as you progress to the next stage of your campaigns.
To those who came close, keep the heads up. Your hard work and resilience will see you back again.
The GAA is thriving across Ulster, and I’ll continue to do all I can to support its growth and development.

👏🏻 Massive reception as hundreds pack the Montalto Estate for the launch of Sinn Féin Strangford candidate Chris Hazzard’s election campaign.
With new areas coming into Strangford for the first time in the Assembly election next year, Sinn Féin is now in pole position to win a seat.
There has never been a Nationalist MLA in Strangford.
You can change that next May.
You can elect the first Sinn Féin MLA ever in Strangford.
You can elect Chris Hazzard.
Together, let’s make history in Strangford.

The Unionist attempt this evening to exclude Michelle O’Neill and Sinn Féin’s ministers from office has FAILED.
Sinn Féin was proud to stand with the Garvaghy Road residents against sectarian harassment, and to protect 28 years of peace.
The days of treating nationalists as second-class citizens are over.
There is no going back.
Not Now. Not Ever!
Declan Mc Aleer MLA retweeted
I have confidence in the people of the Garvaghy Road.
I have confidence in the people from right across Ireland who stood with them to protect peace and progress.
I have confidence in the vast majority of people in our society, from all backgrounds, who do not want to be dragged backwards.
And I have confidence in my decision to support the Garvaghy Road residents.
It’s 2026, not 1969. There is no going back.

Unionists will today attempt to exclude Michelle O’Neill and Sinn Féin’s ministers from office.
This will fail.
It is nothing more than a stunt.
Sinn Féin is proud to stand up for Garvaghy Road residents.
The days of treating nationalists as second-class citizens are over.
There is no going back.

In memory of all our school community who have been impacted by the A4 & A5 roads.
Here's to a safer future.

Today is about the families who have so tragically lost loved ones along this route.
There can be no more delays. This life-saving project must now move forward at pace.
Sinn Féin has backed the A5 from day one and through Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins, we will keep working to see it delivered.
