Jon Burrows MLA

We should all be striving to make Northern Ireland work, foster good relations and promote Northern Ireland’s excellent workforce around the world. Sadly, Sinn Fein have been doing the opposite on all these counts in recent months.

Northern Ireland must “be at the table” globally, says Jon Burrows after a high-impact Washington visit promoting investment, tourism and international ties. More below. loveballymena.online/post/northern-…

@TonyShortci Hi - my trip cost the tax payer zero.

@JonBurrowsMLA So let’s get down to brass tax here Jon, you all went over there probably cost us the taxpayer at least 50k+ and how many jobs or opportunities etc do you think you got? Because to me it looks like you all went over like tourists seeing the sights on our dime 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

I reflected during my interview on Nolan Live that the people in Northern Ireland would despair at listening to politician’s criticising others efforts to promote Northern Ireland and drive prosperity for all our people. Pretty point scoring is not what our people deserve.

@MartinG1492 Hi Martin I’ve been working every day for the people of NI - everyone regardless of their background or aspirations

@JonBurrowsMLA Pot, kettle, black.

@HumanityChad @grumpyoldgoat99 Innocenct !

@sleeepwalker860 @SRAikenUUP Geographically NI is a gateway to Europe from the Atlantic, that’s regardless of any Brexit related issues.

@JonBurrowsMLA @SRAikenUUP “Gateway to Europe” Good to see a Unionist using NIs unique position as a selling point rather than crying about how it makes them less British.

Live from Washington DC last night I was debunking the joint Alliance & People Before Profit narratives. Promoting Northern Ireland’s skilled workforce & strategic business advantages is a duty when you have such a window of unparalleled access. I believe in Northern Ireland.

The NI Assembly was clear, with unanimous support, Trouble’s related sexual crimes must be a qualifying factor for a Legacy Commission Investigation. It’s an amendment I’ve proposed to the new Troubles Bill and an issue I’ll continue to raise this with NIO.

It’s so revealing - Donald Trump’s words are to be ignored until he says something you can seize on for point scoring. Whilst some are promoting Northern Ireland on the global stage, others are fixating on trivial nonsense. Focus on jobs - not jokes.

@DrMMck @irelandchoirman @CarrickGrammar Thanks Mark I hope it can fly now in his honour.

@JonBurrowsMLA @irelandchoirman @CarrickGrammar And also singing under John's direction in the Ulster Hall for the BBC Sing Carols. I only wish Where Eagles Fly had been given the recognition it merits and that John could have seen it.

I was delighted to once again congratulate the team who brought the musical Where Eagles Fly to the Speakers St Patrick’s Day lunch in Capitol Hill with less than 2 weeks notice. UUP Treasurer Trevor Marshall & Gary Montgomery & Nigel Campbell from Getty Music.

@JonBurrowsMLA I had the privilege of singing some of this music (and more of the Belfast shipworks) when the ink was still still wet on the manuscript, thanks to @irelandchoirman at @CarrickGrammar. John was our guest of honour for prize giving when I was Performing Arts Captain.

Women on maternity leave cannot be left economically disadvantaged due to interest on student loans. This is an issue I've raised both in writing to the Treasury and on the floor of the Commons. @uuponline Leader @JonBurrowsMLA has also raised this with the NI Economy Minister.

@ineedcoffeenow Thanks

@JonBurrowsMLA Continue promoting Northern Ireland on the global stage Jon 👏. You and Jonathan Buckley spoke very well on TV. x.com/i/status/20344…

Promoting Northern Ireland as a place for American investment and tourism is not folly - it’s an opportunity that those in leadership should be exploiting. The White House is one small part of a key week for engagement and promtion of Northern Ireland.

Well done Wrightbus. We have outstanding businesses and a highly skilled workforce in Northern Ireland.

@StefanWoods10 Thanks Stefan.

Important work being done by @JonBurrowsMLA on the international stage. Leadership is about showing up and while others stay at home, Jon is promoting Northern Ireland as a place to invest, grow and succeed!
