This is totally unacceptable, and Alliance supports an investigation into what happened.
City Hall must be a place where all are respected.

Seriously? Do we really have to barricade every pavement to stop drivers parking any where they feel like?

@DannyDonnelly1 Although they don’t taste as good, time for bars and pubs to bring in the soda guns for those that can’t afford this. Give people the option

The price of a pint on a night out is one thing (some good research has been done on that !) but the price of soft drinks in some places is absolutely shocking !
Is £4.30 the most expensive diet coke in NI ?

@BelTel Take them all down. What a waste of money they are in the digital age

A former Belfast city councillor has said the removal of Niall Ó Donnghaile’s portrait from display in City Hall is “grossly unfair”, given the behaviour of some others in the past.

💰 Northern Ireland is underfunded, that much has been widely recognised.
We need to see an invest-to-save approach taken to our finances, a review of our relative need, and an updated review of the cost of running a divided society.

The Sydenham Bypass will be closed Belfast-bound this weekend from 10pm Friday 18 Oct until 6am Monday 21 Oct.
During this weekend’s work there won't be any access to the M3/Westlink from the Dee Street junction and traffic using the Airport Road diversion will be directed along Sydenham Road.
The left turn at Dee Street onto the country-bound section of the bypass will remain open for those travelling to Belfast City Airport.
Please allow extra time for your journey.

@MatthewOToole2 Sorry. If they get recess surely they should act like teachers and take their holidays there. Don’t see teachers going oh not today class I’m off to the Caribbean if this is the case
English
I don't begrudge anyone a holiday (albeit that's what recess is for) but I am concerned at the number of ministers who aren't turning up to face Assembly scrutiny.
Half of the Executive was away this week.
Meanwhile the Executive isn't bringing forward any actual legislation..

There has been criticism of Justice Minister Naomi Long’s decision to go on holiday to the Caribbean, missing several sittings of the Assembly during a crisis, with violence against women in Northern Ireland reaching record numbers. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…

Ofc @paulgivan. If it doesn’t affect you it’s not worth doing eh. Losing predominantly women in the workforce is a blow to the NI economy. Think long term

@CaraHunterMLA @MeltedParentsNI @SDLPlive on our knees here. Turning down anything that costs us money just so can feed the children yet both on what is deemed average salaries. Somethings got to give. Can we please have free hours in the interim. The 15% was not helpful as our childcare went up £20/day and we’ve 2

Parents can’t wait! YEARS for a childcare strategy? Parents are crippled by the current costs! Not good enough.
This Executivr needs to get their heads together & deliver for the hard working families across the North.

@SorchaEastwood The U.K. government excludes NI majority of the time
English
Are there going to be Barnett's off the back of this? (Jokes, for mansplainers)
When they say UK, they mean predominantly England and I can see some in Scotland, which is fine. But let's say it how it is.
NI could have been included in this, the Maze site is a prime example.

@GrantSana 100% our wages need to increase. Socialising in Belfast is second to London in terms of expense in the U.K. and with rents going up people cannot afford proper life here
English
It’s now £800 for a one bed appartment in Belfast- wages in this place are so dire; any wonder there is no spend in the city centre - the people that socialise the most have no money to do it
BBC Newsline@bbcnewsline
New figures from PropertyPal suggest the cost of renting a house in Northern Ireland has increased by 40% in the last four years. Clodagh Rice has been looking at the figures and some of the reasons why prices are rising so rapidly.

@BigKenny1690 @allianceparty @MichelleGuy4 Has he really? My bills haven’t changed despite the 15% thing as all the childcare whacked the bills up. Free hours would have been much more helpful. Pre school is not childcare

@allianceparty @MichelleGuy4 Paul Givan has done very well on this front.
Alliance talked and Paul delivered.

We must not lose momentum on childcare interventions, says @MichelleGuy4.
