Derry shouldn't celebrate getting to 5,100 students in September.
The city will be an almighty two students above the 2015 total...
We shouldn't do cartwheels for UU getting to a position the campus was at 7 years ago.
I call that failure on behalf of Stormont/UU. /1

My thoughts are with the 1million who’ve fled #Ukraine because they might be killed. The millions who fled #syria and many other millions escaping repression,poverty, war. They all pray they’ll be welcomed in other countries as human beings. That’s all they ask 2/2 #refugees

Hi Ritchie sending my best to Caleb ! Tell him to carry on being brave and we’ll do everything we can to try and win the final for him. I’d also like to send him a signed shirt to keep his spirits up. #COYS
Not looking for sympathy here. My 5 year old son Caleb is going for Brain surgery on 12-4-21... He is a massive @SpursOfficial fan and is worried he won't be out in time for the final bless him... Would there be any spurs player could give him a shout out to keep his spirits up?

Several sources in or close to the Executive say that there's not yet a plan for the Executive to meet on Monday. One thinks a meeting 'pencilled in' for Tuesday. That means that businesses are - again - likely to hear of restrictions at the last moment, due to DUP-SF indecision.

BREAKING NEWS: DUP asks the Executive to fast-track our journey out of lockdown & open all shops, restaurants, bars - & to consider reducing social distancing guidelines from 2m to 1m. Party tells @beltel NI must reopen for business to save the economy.
