Emmet Doyle highlights the potential impact of Stormont's inaction. It's less money for services while the public pays the salaries of MLAs that are incapable of doing their job (which came with a £14,000 pay rise this year, might we add)

The Irish Times has named Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín as the joint Best Opposition TD.

They stated that he is the Dáil's best communicator.

It's easier to communicate when you believe what you say.

Let's bring common sense politics to Stormont and accountability to the Executive.

This morning, every year as Rasharkin natives, we pause and remember with aching hearts, for three little brothers murdered by the UVF; Jason, Mark and Richard Quinn.

Their grave sits near my grandparents’, and my own children would often stop at the toys and teddies — innocence trying to make sense of something that should never have happened.
How do you explain such cruelty to a child?
You tell them gently, and you show them through your actions, that we work every day to make sure we never return to those dark days.

Rasharkin remembers. We all remember. Keeping the family and friends of the Quinn brothers in our thoughts and prayers, today especially.🩵🩵🩵
Three wee pets, in the arms of the angels🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Anyone who has gone through the planning application process will be all too aware of how difficult it is. With a general shortage of housing on this island and particularly in rural areas, it's time to cut the red tape, streamline the process and make it easier to build replacement dwellings.

The figures revealed by our colleague Emmet Doyle are absolutely shocking. Those waiting 5 years or more for housing has more than doubled in the Causeway Coast and Glens area since 2021. It's up by almost 70% in Mid and East Antrim.

Each figure is a family without permanent accommodation and somewhere to call home. We hear so much about budget constraints, yet MLAs have received a 27% pay rise and can charge their cars for free. It's time for politicians to actually work for the people and develop a comprehensive housing plan.

‘I have spoken to so many people who are living without hope that they will ever see their forever home’ - Emmet Doyle
