Ireland is the most highly educated country in the world, according to CBRE. We are the only nation listed in which a majority of adults aged 25–64 have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Education has transformed our country's fortunes for the better. 🇮🇪👍 visualcapitalist.com/charted-the-wo…

This week, the SDLP Opposition are bringing a motion to the NI Assembly with a clear message: As Britain’s politics shift further to the right, our best future is back in Europe and the only real path there is through a New Ireland.

We have the unique opportunity to build a positive, ambitious and successful new future back at the heart of Europe. Hope MLAs recognise that and back the The SDLP motion this afternoon.

I’ve written to BBC Northern Ireland about concerning reports that geoblocking digital news content is under consideration. We live shared lives in a complex place - narrowing the media landscape that helps people engage in public debate can only be a bad thing.

Welcome confirmation from the BBC that they won’t geoblock news content across the island. Public debate across Ireland is strengthened by having more perspectives and more ideas. This is the right call.

Proud to join the Red Line for Palestine protest outside Westminster today, to stand with 1000s of people demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza and for world leaders to finally step up and stop arming Israel. Brendan O'Hara MP Palestine Solidarity Campaign

718 social homes allocated across Derry Strabane Cncl last year - but 6,388 people remain on the waiting list. This all-time high will not reduce without major investment from Stormont #Derry

This is really positive and heartening for us. Before a campaign for unity has really even begun, there’s consistent levels of support for a new Ireland and a growing group of persuadables - especially younger people who are hungry for change. irishnews.com/news/politics/…

The President has no role in immigration policy or any other policy. You either know that and you’re deliberately lying or you’re an even bigger idiot than I thought. Hard to know really.

I haven’t yet heard a convincing explanation as to how the UK’s ECHR withdrawal can accord with our Good Friday Agreement commitments. I asked Chris Philp about exactly that. Here is our exchange.

I’ve contacted the Foreign Secretary urging him to act to stop Israel from attacking the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship. This humanitarian mission must be allowed safe passage to enter Gaza through Palestinian waters. Israel has no right to block or threaten it.

Heartbreaking watching interviews with people in Ballymena who have had their doors kicked in, their windows smashed and their homes burned by racist thugs. It shouldn’t be explained away, excused or exploited. People are terrified. They need leadership.

An additional £50m from the British Government to help deliver Casement Park is significant and welcome. It vindicates the hard work of Ulster GAA on behalf of 250,000 members and countless more supporters. There is optimism around the project again. Let’s get it done.

Severe disruption caused to people trying to get home safely by thugs wrecking the place and terrifying vulnerable families. We all have a choice to make about the kind of society we want to build, that means stepping up and facing down these bullies.

The actions of the Communities Minister cannot be ignored. He is the Minister response for the Housing Executive and lives are at stake. Tomorrow the Opposition will refer him to the standards commissioner and explore all other options for accountability.

Really sorry to hear that Sean Neeson has died. He had a quiet conviction and was well respected across Ireland and Britain for his empathy and genuine approach to getting things done. Thinking of his friends and his colleagues in the Alliance Party.

The SDLP has called for public clarity over any involvement of loyalist paramilitaries in rioting in Northern Ireland belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-…
