Many thanks to Mark H Durkan MLA for asking about the #NICancerStrategy! There is some good progress underway, and yet still so much to do. We are encouraged by the Minister's commitment to cancer and urge that we address already identified gaps. #CancerCantWait

After the horrors of Mobouy and Lough Neagh, despite a promise in his party's manifesto, the Environment Minister has kicked an independent Environmental Protection Agency into the long grass with another review. Will anything shame Stormont into protecting the environment?

Very much put through my paces in the Walled City 10-miler with Mark H Durkan (who kindly ran at my slower pace😊). A challenge, but feels great to finish. Beautifully scenic course & plenty of craic & encouragement along the way. More women running than men too, fitting for IWD!

Today we heard from families who lost children as they were coming home from school. Their powerful testimonies touched everyone in Stormont today. We're pleased that the Assembly has today backed a proposal to change the law to improve children's safety when travelling home.
