@patcullen9 Your mother Annie was a lovely lady, just like yourself Pat. I have fond memories of Annie RIP. Happy Mothers Day 💚

Happy Mother’s Day 💐 Today I’m thinking of my own mother who I was absolutely blessed to have in my life. The greatest gift she gave to me, my five sisters and our brother was the importance of family. She taught us to work hard and stay true to ourselves. Today is about celebrating all the amazing mums who give so much every day. But it can also be a hard day for many. I’m thinking of mothers grieving the loss of a child, and of women who long to become mums. To every mum, and to all those who care for and support others like a mother would - thank you for the love, strength and encouragement you give every day.

🐮 🧑‍🌾 Declan McAleer’s ANC Bill will support our farmers on the most severely disadvantaged land. 60% of West Tyrone is classified as ANC, so this would provide vital support to local farm families. Contact your local MLA and ask them to support the bill.

We must all stay united to deliver A5 - @OrfhlaithBegley sinnfein.ie/news/we-must-a…

I welcome the appointment of an endometriosis clinical nurse specialist in the Western Trust. This is an important step to develop and shape endometriosis services in the Trust. This appointment coincides with Endometriosis Awareness Month I wish Kate all the best in this role.

Delighted to attend the South West College campus in Omagh this afternoon along with my colleague Declan McAleer MLA to hear about the continued growth and success across all three sites in Enniskillen, Dungannon and Omagh. The extensive range of education, training, skills and career pathways on offer, and the strong focus on inclusivity, are a credit to everyone involved. All three campuses provide students with opportunities to develop skills, gain qualifications and build bright futures in their chosen careers. A really inspirational afternoon, finishing off with a look around some of the fantastic facilities on site.

🎶💚 Fantastic news as Belfast has successfully secured Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in 2027! The Fleadh will be hosted in Belfast this summer and return in 2027, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world to celebrate the very best of Irish music, culture, and heritage. This will also a great boost for our local economy. Béal Feirste will be buzzing, and we can’t wait to welcome you all!

The A5 court case resumes today. This is one of the most dangerous roads on this island. Too many lives have been lost and communities left devastated. We need the delivery of the A5 to save lives and prevent families from future heartbreak.

The A5 Enough Is Enough Group would like to express our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the latest victim of the A5 road. This latest death is a tragic and harrowing and poignant reminder for all who enter Court in Belfast tomorrow. Enough is enough.

Today is a positive day for our rural communities, as Sinn Féin introduces our bill to the Assembly to deliver more financial support for farms This bill, brought by MLA Declan McAleer, will reinstate ANC support payments for hill farmers & those working on disadvantaged land

“We don’t need Englishmen to rule us. We can do that for ourselves.” 👏🏻 Powerful words from Pat Cullen MP speaking in Westminster during a debate on the rising support for independence parties across Ireland, Scotland and Wales. @patcullen9

Delighted to meet Uachtarán na hÉireann Catherine Connolly in Derry today. Catherine pledged to represent people in every corner of Ireland, and it is great to see that commitment being honoured as she meets with communities right across the North.

Today AS Level students from @OmaghLoreto, @cbsomagh and Omagh Academy attended the Education Programme. Special thanks to @mc_mla and @CaraHunterSDLP for meeting with the students for an MLA Q&A session. education.niassembly.gov.uk

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy Christmas. Nollaig Shona Daoibh Uilig 🎄

Shane and Jason Carey’s sister Laura married Monaghan footballer Ryan McAnespie on Saturday. The boys went to the mass, then the match, then back to the wedding. This was the reaction at the wedding to the final whistle in Armagh. Magical stuff 📹 Jamie Donovan films

Today, the AERA Committee bids farewell to one of its longest-serving Members, William Irwin MLA. On behalf of the Committee Members and Staff, we extend our heartfelt thanks for his dedication and service over the years. Wishing William a long, happy, and fulfilling retirement!

Another huge step towards Irish Unity 🇮🇪 Sinn Féin’s motion calling on the Irish government to plan and prepare for a United Ireland has been backed now by both the Seanad and the Dáil. This is a positive, hopeful step forward on our national journey - a moment to look to the future with confidence and ambition. The Irish government must now show leadership and start the preparation. Together, let’s build a better future for everyone in a new and united Ireland.
