Cllr Gary McCleave

This is the most important election in a generation❗️ Lagan Valley can have a Sinn Féin MLA, part of a strong Sinn Féin assembly team that will stand up for workers and families. Time for real change #VótáilSinnFéin #McCleaveNo1

“A toddler in Gaza released from Israeli custody has been returned to his family with suspected torture wounds.” Read that again.

@CircleLineBT We are all on the same page with this one but at present there is a clear issue with traffic coming from Antrim, Crumlin & Glenavy areas and that needs addressed now.

🚗 Traffic from Antrim, Crumlin and Glenavy into Belfast via Hannahstown has become unbearable - but the long-term fix isn’t more traffic management, it’s more transport choice. 🚆 The Circle Line proposal would reconnect these communities to Belfast by rail via the old Knockmore line, linking into Lisburn, the International Airport, and onward to the city - giving thousands of daily commuters a real alternative to sitting in queues on the Upper Springfield. It’s time to move beyond traffic assessments and start planning for rail connections. #BelfastCircleLine #AllIslandStrategicRailReview #openKnockmore #Antrim #Crumlin #Glenavy #Belfast

Sinn Féin MLA Declan Kearney has said investment in Knockmore Line to Belfast International Airport could help to transform the regional economy and modernise local transport infrastructure. @DeclanKearneySF sinnfein.ie/news/knockmore…

The total failure of political unionism to show leadership and call for the removal of a bonfire which threatens lives, property and public services is disgraceful. It’s time for politicians in this area to step up.

We are transforming support for young people with special educational needs as they move into further education, as part of Minister @CArchibald_SF plans. We will work with all Ministers to deliver the change that people with special educational needs & their families need.

Those responsible for this violence bring nothing to our communities but hatred, fear, and division.

@JimGreenan So sorry for your loss Jim 💚

My youngest brother Conor passed away last Monday, he had many talents but photography was his main one in adulthood, but this was a pic he took of Phil Lynott on his way to watch the Dubs in Croke Pk, at the time Conor was about 14/15yrs of age, really is a great photo 👍🏻

“Derry, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh, Down and Antrim, are as Irish as Dublin or Galway. “Irish citizens in the north should have the right to vote for the presidency of our country.” — Martin McGuinness, during his campaign for Irish President, when he himself was denied a vote.

Sinn Féin representatives met today with Choice Housing and the PSNI to discuss sectarian intimidation of some Lisburn residents. “Our priority is ensuring residents can live in peace — free from threats and fear." @danielbakersf sinnfein.ie/news/sinn-fein…

The Assembly has voted in support of Irish citizens in the North having the right to vote for the President of Ireland. This is about equality, inclusion, and respect for Irish citizens in the north. I will raise this vote with An Taoiseach, and urge the Irish Government to fulfil their outstanding commitment to progress these voting rights.

Today I visited the new Bobby Sands statue in his home community of Twinbrook. I was honoured to speak with members of the community who helped make this powerful tribute a reality. Bobby’s life and sacrifice continues to inspire people here in Ireland and across the world in pursuit of freedom and justice. I will continue to work to build a new and united Ireland for everyone who calls this island home.

“Our shared future on this island lies in Irish unity & an integrated economic model, with full membership of the European Union. That is another reason why preparations for the unity referendums are so important.”

Today’s decision by the British government regarding the murder of Seán Brown is cruel and inhumane. The Brown family has only ever sought truth and justice for their beloved husband and father. Throughout their decades-long campaign, they have consistently shown immense courage and dignity. I will continue to stand with Seán’s widow, Bridie, their children, and the community of Bellaghy until they have truth and justice for Seán. The British government must urgently respect the Courts decision and establish a public inquiry now.

Easter 1916, Irish men and women rose against the British Empire and struck for freedom. In every generation since, Irish Republicans have carried that vision - to build a nation for all our people. Le chéile, bainfimid Poblacht 1916 amach.

Excellent event on Irish unity organised by @SF_Commission alongside a productive series of bilateral meetings with colleagues on Tuesday night in the European Parliament.
