We were delighted to welcome Fergus Ó hÍr, lifelong political activist and author of ‘Dockers and Carters Strike Belfast 1907’, to officially unveil a new addition to our exhibition - a pocket watch belonging to renowned trade union leader James Larkin.

I welcome the news that work will begin at Casement Park next week to prepare for its regeneration. I am a firm believer in the power of sport and the lasting impact it brings to people’s lives, our communities, and local economy. Building a new Casement Park stadium is a key Executive priority. We must work together to deliver on a transformative vision for sports.

Economy Minister Dr @CArchibald_SF has joined @FailteFeirste as they celebrate their 25th Anniversary. The Minister praised their leadership in transforming West Belfast into a thriving and internationally recognised visitor destination. The Minister said: “I’m delighted to join Fáilte Feirste Thiar celebrate this significant milestone. The journey started with people who had a vision – people who in the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement, saw West Belfast’s huge tourism potential. Over 25 years, the success of Fáilte Feirste Thiar is down to all those who have worked diligently to ensure that West Belfast fulfils its true potential. "2024 was a record year for visitors in West Belfast, with over 3 million visitor trips, contributing more than £135 million to the local economy. As we celebrate the last 25 years, Fáilte Feirste Thiar can also look ahead with excitement and optimism, ensuring that tourism remains a driver of opportunity, pride, and prosperity for generations to come.”
