Thank you to everyone who came along tonight to cheer me on as I take up the role of Lord Mayor of Belfast.
I am honestly so honoured to have been given this opportunity to represent our great city. I won’t let you down.

.@AndyofAlliance is proud to call South Down his home💛
In 2022, you made history by electing the first cross-community Alliance MLA in the constituency.
Next May, we have the chance to do it again - choose hope over fear and lets build a shared future for everyone.

A 44-year-old man has been arrested for damaging the big fish in Belfast.
At around 12:30am police responded to reports of a man damaging the Salmon.
Extensive damage was caused to its left eye.
He was arrested for damage to the sculpture and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place. @BelTel

I’ve worked with Sian, in some form or another since 2013, she’s a grafter, she’s all in, and she cares deeply.
North Antrim deserves representation that reflects the community, Sian is first class representation.
Few others more passionate, hardworking, and caring, than Sian.
NEW: An ex-UUP councillor will contest N Antrim for the DUP in May’s Assembly election in a bid to reclaim the seat lost to Alliance in 2022. Darryl Wilson says: "The constituency would be much better served with an extra unionist than an Alliance MLA."

A happy Saturday! Started with calling in to see Youth Lyric students before their acting masterclass & then did some outreach in Balmoral & a little bit more in Carryduff. Talking to people on the doors is always a reminder the X narrative is not the general public narrative!💛

Girls have won the right to wear trousers to school! 👖🎉
Young campaigners spoke up, and their persistence has paid off.
This is about dignity, comfort and safety. It shouldn't have taken a campaign in 2026, but we're glad the Minister has finally listened.

There’s a new portrait in City Hall & what a sign of changed times it is! Vibrant, inclusive & so full of hope - just like its subject. We in @allianceparty are so proud of @micky_murray who used his term in office to create space for people who feel like they don’t belong 💛

We have seven months left of this mandate to deliver real change.
Alliance is focused on building a better, shared future for you, your family and your community.
Not the past. Not division. Not distraction.

That’s a horrible way to treat someone who has represented your party for over thirty years.
EXCLUSIVE: UUP veteran Jim Rodgers hasn't been selected to stand in May's council election. Friends say he’s been “left in limbo” by the party he has represented for 33 years. “Jim will be devastated if he can't run," one ally says.

The Mela is in full swing at Botanic Gardens today, one of the best annual festivals in Belfast, celebrating the amazing diversity of our city.
The music is pumping and the food is delicious, so get yourself down!

Last week the protesters at Belfast City Hall erected a poster of Naomi Long.
I spoke to them, and we came to an agreement that it was nothing to do with their protest and that it wouldn’t be put up anymore…it’s up again this week.
I’ll be bringing this up with the Council.

.@PBNINews have been such an amazing support in Annadale Allotments.
I’m delighted to have played a small part in getting this partnership started, but seeing the outcome has been so much better than any of us anticipated!
Huge thank you to everyone at PBNI!
We're delighted to receive this fantastic feedback about our Community Service Supervisor Paul and the Community Service team. They recently helped transform an allotment plot that had been neglected for more than seven years into a thriving community space.
