🔴⚪️ Massive congratulations Derry City Football Club on winning the FAI Cup! 🏆

A fantastic achievement for the club and a brilliant day for the people of the city.

It’s great to see such incredible support for Derry and Irish football at the Aviva, with 35,000 supporters travelling from Derry and Waterford to be part of the occasion.

Enjoy the well deserved cerebrations! 👏🏻

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bloody Sunday campaigner John Kelly.

John was a proud Derry man who spent much of his life fighting for truth and justice.

His 17-year-old brother Michael was murdered by the British Army on Bloody Sunday, and for more than five decades John fought for justice, not just for his own family but for all those killed and injured that day.

Despite the continued denial of justice, John never gave up. His courage and determination in taking on the British state in the fight for justice was remarkable.

Through his campaigning and his work at the Museum of Free Derry, John made sure the story of Bloody Sunday was passed on to new generations and that the fight for justice would never be forgotten.

My heartfelt condolences go to John’s children, grandchildren and the wider Kelly family at this very sad time.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Sarah Montgomery following today’s sentencing of the man who brutally murdered her and her unborn baby.

Sarah was just 27 years old, a young mother with her whole life ahead of her.

Her two little girls have been left without their mummy, and a family has been left to live with unimaginable heartbreak.

No sentence can ever bring Sarah or her unborn baby boy back, or take away the pain her family has endured.

This is a devastating reminder of why we must do everything we can to end violence against women and girls.

We all have a responsibility to challenge misogyny and violence against women, and to make sure no other family has to suffer this heartbreak.

💚 Incredible energy and a powerful sense of determination and unity filled a packed hall this evening as Sinn Féin activists gathered in enormous numbers for the launch of our Assembly election campaign!

This election is the most important in generations.

It is an opportunity to support the strong leadership of Sinn Féin and show that change in the North is unstoppable.

To send a message to those who want to drag us back to the past, that there will be No Going Back.

Every vote will count.

Together, let’s make history.
