The vicious knife attack in north Belfast was an appalling act, and the thoughts of everyone are with the victim. Those who acted with courage and selflessness to save a life deserve enormous credit, and the perpetrator must face the full weight of the law. But there can be no justification for the racist violence that followed. Masked loyalist gangs going into communities and burning families out of their homes is nothing short of racist thuggery. It must be called out for what it is. Leadership means rejecting fear and division, challenging the poisonous narratives that fuel hatred, and standing together against racism in all its forms.

I'm so grateful to have met so many of you in this election campaign 💚 You've shared your stories with me, your struggles, your frustration and anger with this government. But also your unshakeable hope for something better. I carry your stories with me every day. It's you and your family that drives me to want to help make things better for ordinary people, hardworking people who deserve the chance to live a decent life here in Dublin Central. The way things are right now is not normal and never should be. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil just don't get it. They don't listen and they talk down to us. They want us to think that things can't change. But it can change. On Friday, May 22nd, you can send the strongest message possible to this government that enough is enough. I'm asking you to vote for me, Janice Boylan No 1. I will be your voice. I will always fight your corner. I will stand up for you and your family every day to help make life better and fairer so each of you have a real chance to build the life that you deserve.

Sheer joy in Clones! The long wait for an Ulster title is ended for @Armagh_GAA @LizKimminsSF

Proud and poignant commemoration in Camlough this morning for the 45th anniversary of our friend and comrade Raymond McCreesh. Beidh an bua againn go foil.

It was great to meet with Dave Doogan of the SNP and Liz Saville Roberts of Plaid Cymru, who both lead their parties at Westminster. We discussed the historic election results across these islands, which will see three nationalist and pro-independence First Ministers elected for the first time ever. We agreed to continue working together in common purpose to deliver for our people and their right to national self-determination. People are increasingly looking beyond the constraints of Westminster and towards a future where decisions are taken at home.

Beautiful sunrise in Derramore for the #darknessintolight walk with Aidan and Dan. Great turnout as ever @PIPSHopeSupport

Great to meet members of @IrelandsFuture board today. Much to discuss on Irish unity efforts, including the Amarach poll findings commissioned by the European Movement Ireland, that shows overwhelming support North & South for a united Ireland within the EU.

🇮🇪 Always an honour to stand here in Arbour Hill, the final resting place of the 1916 leaders. This sacred ground echoes with our rebel history as the future calls out. Let’s finish the journey to a United Ireland and the Republic of the Proclamation.

Powerful speech from Sinn Féin Minister Liz Kimmins reaffirming Sinn Féin's commitment to build the A5, address regional imbalance and stand up for our rural communities.

All smiles at the end but it was a tough battle, as we expected, for ⁦@Armagh_GAA⁩ against our neighbours @TyroneGAALive. Glad to be out the other side with a win 😅

At the GPO this morning to honour the men and women of 1916

Great to welcome old friends to Slógadh ⁦@TiChulainn⁩ and celebrate the story of Gaeltacht na Fuiseoige

Great day for a walk on Slieve Gullion 🌞. The sheep was keeping watch over The Gap Of The North.
