Would add, I think Burrows doing this is incredibly smart. Looks on the front foot, proactive and confident and I say that as a Nationalist. If O'Neill accepts she shows confidence in her own position. The status quo can always sit back, the change argument always has to seize opportunities.

I walked the relatively newly opened Newry to Carlingford Greeenway today. During the 1990s, I holidayed there as a child, and what a transformation of that part of the island.

With both the Fleadh and Féile last week, Belfast was hopping – and the nationalist community there feeling more empowered vibrant than ever. So why hasn't that fed through to its politics – and why is there open touting of Stormont being pulled down again? This week's column for @thejournal.ie:

Gavan Reilly: 37% of the time, Stormont hasn’t existed

Stormont is stuck in a malaise, with both lead parties ebbing in the polls, and new fears of another collapse. How has it come to this?

Green Party councillor Anthony Flynn has been selected by the party to run in the 2027 Assembly election in North Down. He said the “Alliance surge” of 2022 played a part in the Greens being wiped out in the Assembly, but the party was “very confident” of winning in North Down next year.
