Can confirm it is colder than it looks out there! Very worth the chilly fingers & toes to chat to residents around Martinville & Glenhugh about issues they care about & that we’re working inc, today inc FE /skills, childcare & the state of the roads. Thanks brilliant volunteers😍
Great to have the team out in Downpatrick yesterday updating people on some local issues and @ClaireHanna joined us too. @SDLPlive
On your doorstep and on the case across South Belfast
This week the SDLP Opposition has been: Challenging the Executive for transparency around civil service appointments. Fighting for free hospital car parking for health service staff and patients. Securing support to educate young people about consent and healthy relationships.
👪Free Childcare Advice Session👪 Want some advice? We have teamed up with Employers For Childcare to offer an advice session at my Consistency Office at 📍 1 Bellhouse Lane Coleraine on Thursday 23rd May 2024 between 10am and 15.30. To book an appointment call: 028 7034 8933 📞
Some thoughts on a missed opportunity Budget. While acknowledging the fiscal position the Executive is in, and the squeeze of high inflation and UK austerity, the Budget statement is abysmally weak on prioritisation, clarity and far short of Executive parties promised. Thread..
📣 NEWRY EVENT 📣 7-9pm | Thursday 16.05.24 | Canal Court Hotel, Newry Join us for an in-conversation event with Noelle O’Connell, CEO of European Movement Ireland @emireland Register via: eventbrite.com/e/towards-a-ne…
Today's budget shows the Executive has no idea what their priorities are or how to save our public services. Health waiting lists, childcare, the cost of living - we are no clearer on how the Executive plans to solve these issues. @MatthewOToole2 sdlp.ie/executive_budg…
🏗️🏙️ SDLP met again with Castlebrooke today about the "Tribeca" site in the Enlightenment District. The status quo is not an option - we sought clarification on, and urged them to publish steps they’ve taken since February. Belfast City Council will continue to consider vesting.
If we don’t have a properly funded healthcare system people will die. People already are dying in waiting lists. That’s the evidence we have received from the sector. If the Executive don’t get it, then we are in a very worrying place. @SDLPlive | @MatthewOToole2
⏱️💶 While we await ministers (hopefully) agreeing a Budget, SDLP Opposition has costed just some of the promises Exec parties have made in Assembly motions since Feb 👇 It's at least £1.5 bn... Its time for the Executive to front up on priorities- and how they'll fund them
In Westminster today I raised the critical state of childcare & the March in Belfast at the weekend. One interim measure I have been pushing, until the NI Exec act, is a lift in the tax free threshold for NI parents - who are not able to access new measures available in England
Proud to support the motion calling for inclusive and comprehensive Relationship and Sexuality Education. Dismantling misogynistic attitudes that fuel taboo and prejudice starts with education and giving every pupil in every school the opportunity to learn.
Hopes of free parking for staff are now complicated with new restrictions and criteria being implemented. Surely this wasn’t what the initial bill intended? A significant development from today’s debate that needs further scrutiny! #HospitalCarParkingCharges @SDLPlive
The Rwanda bill, like the 2 previous failed bills, is nothing but spin, distraction & scapegoating. It’s also a worryingly precedent by allowing a government to legislate something as fact when their Supreme Court found otherwise. It won’t ‘stop the boats’ and even Tories know it
🏥The Executive parties cannot have it both ways - they cannot on one hand say it’s terrible that we have hospital car parking charges, and on the other vote to delay the introduction of free parking. Be open and honest with patients and staff. @SDLPlive | @MatthewOToole2
Delighted to welcome @asthmalunguk to Stormont today as they launch their report #SavingYourBreath. Look forward to attending and supporting their work!

Today I’ve joined MLAs from across the political spectrum in signing a letter to the Health Minister that calls for a National Brain Tumour Strategy. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer for people under 40. We can change this, together! #ItsANoBrainer @BrainTumourOrg 🧠
I asked the Justice Min whether she was consulted on her perm sec moving to EA without any internal or external competition, against best practice and RHI inquiry findings, but formally proposed by her Alliance party colleague on the EA board. Her answer was disappointing...
In response to the ongoing crisis in Sudan and displacement and suffering of millions @ClaireHanna MP has raised an urgent question with the Foreign Minister.
