❤️ Votes for 16 and 17 year old ❤️

Enfranchising 16 and 17-year-olds has been a long held SDLP position and we welcome confirmation from the government today that this will be in place for the next General Election. There are many young people in Northern Ireland actively engaged in politics and I know that for generations there has been frustration that they could not play a full role in the democratic process.

The SDLP believes that these voting rights must stretch beyond General Elections and be extended to voting for the Assembly and local councils. We will continue to make the case for that at Westminster and push for change to secure voting at all levels for 16 and 17-year-olds.

Brilliant to be in St. Paul’s this morning to judge a debating competition between students from St Paul's Bessbrook & Our Lady's Grammar School, where a number of thought-provoking topics were up for discussion. The passion, delivery, and level of research brought to the table by students was top class.

It was really impressive to hear the students quoting famous philosophers such as Voltaire, Frederick Nietzsche and, surprisingly, Kenny Rodgers. Fair play to all involved, you are a credit to your schools 👏🏼

Today I had a very frank meeting with the Chief Executive of the Southern Trust and the Executive Director of Nursing & Midwifery, where I secured a direct assurance that there will be no attempt to pull maternity services from Daisy Hill Hospital.

I made it very clear to the Trust that their poor communication to staff and the general public have given rise to unnecessary anxiety about the future of services across our community.

I raised the need for the Southern Trust to proactively reassure mothers, babies, and midwifery teams, that they will be supported and that services they rely on and provide will be protected and secured.

Your local SDLP team will always be in your corner and remain fighting for the best interests of Daisy Hill Hospital and everybody who relies on it.
