Belfast City Council just killed large-scale concerts at Boucher Playing Fields - with NO alternative venue lined up. Sinn Féin & DUP voted to end this without a plan. Young people lose the chance to see world-class artists in their own city.

Belfast City Council cannot continue to confer honours while survivors are re-traumatised. The Epstein Files demand action, not silence. Public institutions must not provide prestige or legitimacy to those facing serious abuse allegations.

St Brigid’s Day is about more than folklore. Brigid stood for care over greed, sharing over hoarding, and sheltering the vulnerable. She treated land, water and community as sacred. Her values still feel very relevant.
