@Bogbeautiful @dcsdcouncil @mayordcsdc Local authorities in NI and @deptinfra treat urban trees and highway trees as decoration not lifetime investments

@MarkLusby @dcsdcouncil @mayordcsdc It’s more than shocking, it should not happen.

Sad that ⁦@dcsdcouncil⁩ and ⁦@mayordcsdc⁩ have announced that some of the trees in Harbour Square are to be cut down to make way for public art. #treesareart #climateemergency

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Oh no. Time to close the sea border?

@williamcrawley It predates Northern Ireland. Subtitle of a pamphlet about in the 17th C.

Does anyone know the first instance in print of the term “The Troubles” being used to describe the conflict in Northern Ireland?

Foyle MLAs MP and Mayor forget about positivity, city deals, potholes and streetlights - get this financed and sorted. @Gary_Middleton @SineadMcL4Foyle @MarkHDurkan @ciaraf44 @padraig_delargy @Patricialo92376 @columeastwood

@GAHargan I think the last time we had a task force on FE/HE expansion in Derry, the politicians were ‘bought off ‘ with Irish language and music being centralised to Magee and the Tip O’Neill Chair.

People attempted to undermine my 83% figure at one stage, which I can assure you, shocking as it is, is airtight. Now it's being bumped to 90% 🙂. The longest-running scandal in NI history, yet it is largely ignored by the national media.

Our Irish Walled Towns Network gathered in Trim today for their annual general meeting at which they launched their new Strategy 2024-2028. #IrishWalledTowns #WalledTowns #LoveYourHeritage

@AmandaFBelfast A genuinely nice person who made everyone feel important when she was talking to them.

I am so gutted I never got to meet Inez but I get to engage with all the fab people she inspired and empowered! What a woman. There should be a statue of her. We need to rebalance the place with...*gestures wildly* all of the women.

@nwmforum @BenRosher @dcsdcouncil At least the street furniture interrupted the clear flight path of the pigeons. We’ll be back to low level, 150mph swoops of the feral pigeon squadron from Waterloo Place into Guildhall Square.

@PaulGosling1 Oh no!

DCSDC has replaced DfI traffic wardens with private sector ones - which on the face of it is privatisation.

@pauljmullan01 @HeritageFundNI @WTIanMcCurley @WoodlandTrust Such important work in a time of climate emergency. @WoodlandTrust

@bradley_steve Peace Wall and @FundforIreland

@MarkLusby Holy feck - that is awful 🫨 Where is that, & who put it up? Presumably public money was involved in it all somewhere too 😬

Troubles ‘humour’ needs to be put through some sort of filter before it ends up as semipermanent murals on our streets. #internationalwomensday2024 #iwd2024

@pauljmullan01 Which Burntollet Bridge? The Newest Bridge under construction in the background, the New Bridge under demolition in the middle foreground and part of the Old Burntollet Bridge under demolition in the bottom right. A trinitarian symbol of addiction to building ever faster roads.

@zenobiewan @LibrariesNI @IrelandMapped What’s the event?

Early morning start heading off to Derry for #HeritageWeek with @LibrariesNI and @IrelandMapped !

@maxwiggan Okay for a traumatised teenager to have had that thought in the middle of conflict. Not okay for that thought to be displayed on a public street within a home decor motif but without full context. Pouring paint over the heads of young women was never okay.

@MarkLusby Wtf?

A bit of #shockandawe going on in rural Derry #planningni #ruralroads #architectsni #bondsglen
