Once again, vulnerable children are paying the price of inaction and parents are left scrambling for alternatives that don’t exist. Alliance has submitted a petition to recall the Assembly and ensure the Health and Education Ministers get it fixed.
Happy St Patrick’s Day🍀 Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh!

Pleased to welcome @andyburnham.bsky.social, Mayor of Greater Manchester, as Guest Speaker to this year’s Alliance Party conference! We look forward to hearing from him on a number of key issues, including his views on challenging the rise of populism in the modern world. #APNI26 #HopeNotFear
No polluter should be let off the hook for polluting our rivers, lakes and loughs. Alliance Minister @andrewmuirni.bsky.social is taking action: 💧 Ending NI Water's by-ball to pump raw sewage into our waterways 💧 Increasing water pollution fines 💧 Introducing fixed penalty notices
Nature is for all of us, but sadly, the warning signs in NI have been visible for decades 🚨 Minister @andrewmuirni.bsky.social is determined to change that, but we all have a part to play. That's why he is asking for your views on our first Nature Recovery Strategy🌱 Link below:
"If we’re serious about ending VAWG, then we need to be serious about how this technology is being misused. Our law has to keep pace with reality; it’s the non-consensual creation of sexual images. That is abuse." -@katenicholl.bsky.social. Read more: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/...

BREAKING: The Assembly has backed our call for the Secretary of State to begin institutional reform. No single party should be able to hold Stormont to ransom. This is a historic chance to move beyond division and dysfunction, and towards politics that works for everyone.
Our institutions cannot remain stuck in 1998. Society has evolved, and our institutions need to as well. Enough is enough. Alliance's motion today is calling for Stormont to be reformed so we can end dysfunctional decision making and deliver for the people of NI.
AI offers many opportunities for society, but it also poses many risks and challenges. @katenicholl.bsky.social's new group on AI seeks to bring people together to engage in discussions about the responsible use of AI and its evolving nature, helping us enhance jobs rather than replace them.
People in mental health crisis are being left with nowhere to turn but the police. It’s bad for the PSNI and worse for those who need care. That's why Alliance is calling on the Health Minister to act so people can get the right support from the right service.
The PSNI has become a service of last resort for people experiencing a mental health crisis. That’s why need the Health Minister to take action so anyone facing a mental health crisis gets the right support, from the right service, at the right time.
Scrapping the two-child limit is a start, but working families and small businesses need real stability and growth. Cut VAT to back our high streets and deliver the support working families urgently deserve, says @sorchaeastwood.bsky.social
Today marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, with the theme 'No Excuse for Online Abuse'. Sadly, 1 in 10 women and girls in NI have experienced online violence. We urgently need stronger regulations in the online world to help end VAWG - @connieegan.bsky.social
People have had enough of endless culture wars. While some parties seek to distract and divide, Alliance is focused on building a brighter, more united community for everyone, says @eointennyson.bsky.social
Everyone deserves to remember loved ones with dignity and respect, but never in a way that glorifies violence or deepens division. Our motion today calls for an audit of memorials on public land and action to remove paramilitary imagery once and for all.
Alliance is calling for action to ensure that memorials in NI are lawful and respectful. It’s time to stop glorifying terrorism and acts of violence. Let’s create spaces defined by respect, not rivalry, and show that memory in NI can become a bridge, not a barrier. -@paulaballiance.bsky.social
The Education Minister’s story keeps changing, but the facts don’t. His egregious actions broke the rules, ignored international law and breached UK foreign policy, says @eointennyson.bsky.social
On Remembrance Sunday, we honour the bravery of those who fought for us and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. #LestWeForget
“You can engage in a thorough and robust debate while still being compassionate and considerate,” says @katenicholl.bsky.social. We must work together, not against each other.
We can deliver an Independent Environmental Protection Agency in this mandate, but we have a short window of opportunity, and need full Executive support. Alliance is committed to it. Back @andrewmuirni.bsky.social and let’s deliver it.
Our motion demanding a full public inquiry into the cervical screening scandal has passed. It's now up to the Health Minister to give the 17,000 women affected the answers they deserve.
Alliance is bringing a motion to Stormont tomorrow demanding a full public inquiry into the cervical screening scandal. Women's lives were put at risk, and more than two years on now, the Health Minister still owes them answers.
It's extremely concerning that our Education Minister attended a trip funded by the Israeli state, knowing the atrocities its government has inflicted on Gaza. This is utterly shameful, and the Minister and his department have serious questions to answer.- Nick Mathison MLA
“Those with vested interest in maintaining division will never be the people to break it down and overcome it.” @eointennyson.bsky.social on the DUP Education Minister’s failure to support integrated education.
It’s time for an independent Environmental Protection Agency. 🌱 People deserve clean water, thriving nature and beautiful landscapes. From Europe's largest illegal dump in Mobuoy to Lough Neagh, the case for an EPA is clear, says @andrewmuirni.bsky.social
