Here’s to strong women.
May we know them.

May we raise them.

For those who travel from Belfast to Glenavy/Crumlin on a regular basis will no doubt have encountered the sunken manhole past Divis Rd or the pothole on the Quarterlands Rd.

Both defects are marked out for repair following my request & hopefully work will be carried out soon.

Sinn Féin stands in full support of workers today & always.

Workers should not have had to take to the streets today & to take unavoidable strike action in freezing conditions.
