Interesting find in France. Was going to go in but there didn't seem to be anyone working.

@SDLPlive have asked the Infrastructure Minister for a feasibility study on a permanent Strangford crossing We need answers on impacts, cost, & delivery- & to learn from projects like Narrow Water In the meantime, we’ve asked for the restoration of early ferry crossings ⛴️

North Down SDLP made good use of yesterday's sunny weather with a leaflet drop across Bangor West. If you want to get involved in a growing movement for change join the SDLP at sdlp.ie/join_the_team

Statement from SDLP Youth on the results of the recent referendum at Queen’s University Belfast Ráiteas ó Óige an SDLP ar thorthaí an reifrinn le déanaí in Ollscoil na Banríona (QUB), Béal Feirste

Car-free zone set for Belfast city centre for a week during Fleadh Cheoil 2026 in August. 🚘 ❌ Here’s the plan:

Such a great afternoon in SUNNY Holywood 🌞 @SDLPlive getting a lovely reception on the doors 😍

Under Claire Hanna, the SDLP is the nationalist party with energy, confidence, ideas, leadership and a sense of purpose to an extent reminiscent of an early John Hume - and which increasingly exposes Sinn Fein as central to the failing NI establishment. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comment/opinio…

Gordon Lyons has been found to have breached the ministerial code for the second time. The circumstances - racially fuelled riots across NI, families sheltering in fear - could hardly have been more serious. He should resign his office.

Thanks to the packed out room and staff at The Enniskillen Hotel, at our Townhall meeting with @ClaireHanna A wide range of topics including health, economy, the arts, and road infrastructure discussed along with how we reach a New Ireland. We're building something new!

The new legacy legislation was debated in the House of Commons last night and I took the opportunity to set the record straight about what happened on Bloody Sunday for those who have chosen to ignore the truth for decades.

I secured this review four years ago and am dismayed by the response. Change would have needed protection for existing licensees but the Minister has basically ruled out any change. So more pubs will shut, more drinking will happen at home and vested interests will be served.

SDLP Leader Claire Hanna MP attended the inauguration of Uachtarán na hÉireann Catherine Connolly at Dublin Castle today. The Presidency is more than a symbol. It has the power to convene, to heal and to bring people together.

A majority backed the no-confidence motion in Paul Givan He has disgraced his office but as predicted the DUP used their veto to block censure. But I'm pleased that the Assembly then backed an SDLP Opposition motion to make it easier to sanction rulebreaking ministers.

The DUP’s moral standard cannot be the baseline for this place. Ministers were elected to serve people and improve lives, not to coast through office without accountability.

Paul Givan has shamed his office - so the SDLP are signatories to today's no-confidence motion. But we know the DUP will block censure- so the SDLP Opposition is also pushing for reform of our broken rules so that rule-breaking ministers can't forever avoid sanction.

Opposing genocide should never be an "orange vs green" issue. Our Education Minister has a moral duty to stand with children, not with those bombing their schools. @CaraHunterMLA

Just to point out that Claire Hanna is absolutely right when she says Paul Givan would not survive this in London or Dublin. #BBCTalkback

Paul Givan should resign. No Education Minister should visit a school in illegally occupied East Jerusalem. People are rightly appalled. This is a question of ethics and accountability. @MatthewOToole2

There is huge anger at Paul Givan's appalling propaganda trip to Israel, but especially his use of official departmental resources to promote it. I have written today to the Head of the Civil Service for urgent answers on who permitted this and why. (1/2)

As children die daily in Gaza, the DUP Education Minister poses in Israel. The SDLP will be seeking answers in the Assembly. @CaraHunterMLA
