Workers deserve respect, dignity, and proper rights. When workers are properly valued, local businesses and communities thrive. Sinn Féin is committed to securing fair pay, safe working conditions, and support for local businesses. That’s the aim of our Good Jobs Bill.

In cases where one parent takes the life of the other, that parent can still have parental responsibility for the child. We're now bringing forward a new law to change that.

🙌🏻 Over £120 million investment has been signed off today to transform communities across the Causeway Coast and Glens! This will provide enormous opportunities for communities, create new jobs, support local businesses, and provide a real boost for tourism.

📺 I’ll be on UTV’s The View From Stormont this evening discussing a range of issues, including our vision for building Ireland’s future following a very successful Ard Fheis. Tune in on UTV at 10:45pm!

👏🏻❤️ Today is a massive day for our deaf and deafblind community and their families, as Irish and British sign languages are now recognised as official languages. This means additional services will be put in place to ensure our deaf community is fully included and supported. I am especially delighted that we will be leading the way by providing free sign language classes for all deaf children and their families. I want to thank everyone who has campaigned and worked tirelessly for this transformative law over many years, today belongs to each and every one of you !🙌🏻

We have incredible hospitality businesses and a globally renowned food offering. I was delighted to attend the launch of Ireland’s Next Top Chef 2026, a fantastic competition showcasing the talent, creativity and passion of our chefs. I want to commend the organisers for this initiative to champion and celebrate our hospitality workers. It was also great to meet some of our hospitality business owners this evening. Best of luck to all the contestants, I don’t envy the judges! 👏🏻

💚 Activism is at the core of Sinn Féin, and meeting with our activists and others in attendance from across Ireland at our Ard Fheis is always the highlight of the weekend. This is the strongest Sinn Féin has been in over a century, and we are building for Ireland’s future.

The Ireland I’m working to build is one that belongs to everyone who shares this island, nationalist, unionist, and those who are neither. We must move beyond the constraints of partition, which has divided our communities and limited our potential for far too long, and build a brighter future together.

Those behind last night’s attack in Dunmurry speak for absolutely no one. They have no vision, no support, and have nothing to offer our society. Our communities deserve peace. No one is going to deny our young people and future generations that. We will keep progressing and we will keep moving forward to a better future. I have been in contact with local representatives to extend my solidarity and support to all those impacted.

🙌🏻 A packed room of Sinn Féin activists from across Ireland on their feet after Uachtarán Mary Lou McDonald’s fantastic Ard Fheis address. This is the largest Sinn Féin team in over a century, and together, we are building a new and united Ireland for all our people and communities.

🇵🇸 It was my honour to welcome Palestinian Ambassador, Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid, to our Sinn Féin Ard Fheis. I extended the continued support and solidarity of the people of Ireland to the people of Palestine, especially those enduring genocide in Gaza.

British Prime Ministers may come and go, but one thing remains the same, their contempt and disregard for our people and communities. No matter your background, nationalist, unionist, or neither, we are stronger when we stand together, standing up for workers and families in the face of British government failures.

Kickstarting day 2 of the Ard Fheis here in Béal Feirste! 🇮🇪🙌🏻 #AF2026

We must stand together to have the backs of workers, families, and communities, particularly during this cost of living crisis.

I am a First Minister for all. And I will never stop working to move our politics forward, and to deliver for workers, families, and communities.

✍️ Preparing to address our Sinn Féin Ard Fheis in Belfast. Thousands of activists from towns, cities, and communities from across Ireland are gathered here today to discuss and plan for the future of our country. This is the largest Sinn Féin team in over a century, and we are determined to stand up for workers and families. You can tune in live at 6.10pm on Sinn Féin platforms.

Violence against women and girls is a cruel epidemic that has a grip on our society, and one we must confront together. This week, we’ve launched the next stage of our plan to rid our society of misogyny. We’re investing in local communities and frontline support, empowering young people, and ensuring our justice system properly holds perpetrators to account.
