We cannot criticise the pollution in Lough Neagh while failing to finance the necessary remedies to address its source. Good to hear the
@daera_ni
Minister committing to an Action Plan for the Lough, but crucial to this is a sufficient budget allocation
Deposited Paper: Information provided by the DAERA Minister detailing legislation where the Secretary of State has not exercised discretion under Regulation 3 of the Windsor Framework (Implementation) Regulations 2024 not to exercise direction and control.
Standardised, evidence-based and age appropriate Relationships and Sexual Education in Northern Ireland is important. Glad Alliance continuing to show leadership on this matter and motion passed despite a number of disgraceful comments by some of those arguing against the motion
Relationships and Sexual Education is one of the most powerful safeguarding tools against abuse and coercion.
That’s why we need a standardised approach so all children have access to the same information they need to have happy healthy relationships.
Very interesting how many of those opposing our motion on RSE would not allow interventions from Alliance. Almost as though they know their arguments don’t stand up against the recommendations of CLC, NDPCC, NICCY, CEDAW, Gillen Review, NIHRC, Family Mediation NI, Positive Life..
Delighted that the UK Government have agreed to include NI in their bill to overturn convictions as a result of the
#Horizon
scandal.
This is an important step closer to NI Sub-postmasters getting justice for the wrongs they have suffered.
🎉 Alliance motion calling for standardised, inclusive, evidence-based and age-appropriate RSE in schools across NI has PASSED ✅
@KateNicholl
set out why it is so crucial that children and young people are afforded an education that will properly set them up for the future 👇
Single-use vapes are bad for our environment and can damage wildlife, soil and waterways.
That's why I will be bringing forward a ban as part of my efforts to reduce waste.

Alliance’s Environment Spokesperson
@JohnBlairMLA
praised the DAERA Minister’s plan to ban disposable vapes, which aligns perfectly with this year’s Earth Day theme of plant vs plastics.
See more here:
On Monday, Alliance is bringing a motion calling for inclusive, standardised, and age-appropriate Relationship and Sexuality Education in schools across NI.
RSE is a safeguarding tool, and every young person deserves guidance on how to build healthy, respectful relationships 👇
If children don’t get inclusive, age-appropriate, evidence-based RSE in school - they’ll look for answers elsewhere. If we’re serious about protecting young people, then we have to teach them about healthy relationships, their rights, signs of abuse & how to access support.
Visited shores of Lough Neagh again this weekend at Rea’s Wood, Antrim
I’m working hard to soon set out plans to start turning things around
Budget set for my Department will however be absolutely critical to enable the actions needed to secure a better future for the Lough
