"Emma Little-Pengelly calls union access 'aggressive and expansionist.' That is simply false...Caoimhe Archibald has already capitulated... exempting smaller businesses... Workers in small workplaces need representation just as much...This Bill must go to the Assembly immediately, in full”

"This is the direct the result of weeks of poison pumped online - cowards warning of an 'influx of people' and sneering at 'foreign food.' That bile has now ended in arson... Racism puts food on nobody's table."
The Triple Lock represents a major obstacle to this government. We'll have to demand Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and their lackeys in the Lowry group stop trying to short-circuit our democratic demand for Neutrality. Neutrality is our best real defence from the gravity of the West's wars.
"When teachers take industrial action, they're doing it on behalf of their whole school community. They're saying enough is enough to a Stormont establishment that wants education on the cheap. That's exactly what Paul Givan is afraid of and it's why he's making this vindictive move."
"If the state takes your DNA and holds it on a police database for years, the very least it can do is tell you so in plain writing. This legislation rightly gives people the right to a review of their retained material" Gerry Carroll
"A company that operates in 45 countries and made over £1 billion in profit last year? They are not short of resources to guarantee secure and well-paid jobs. The receptionists, cleaners, porters and kitchen workers? Sodexo is treating them disgracefully." Gerry Carroll MLA

The cases against all protestors will go ahead though a judge had decided to drop prosecution against Derry & Strabane People Before Profit Cllr Shaun Harkin alone. The challenge will continue. The legislation is as wrong as Starmer is, who's banned solidarity instead of arms sales, says Harkin.
"We know that women and babies were transferred between jurisdictions, that records are held in the Republic, in religious archives, and in institutions with little appetite for transparency. This inquiry cannot be hamstrung at the border." Gerry Carroll MLA
