The Prince and Princess of Wales made a surprise visit to Belfast, Northern Ireland, where they engaged with local initiatives aimed at helping young people find employment and addressed issues related to homelessness. #PrinceWilliam #KateMiddleton #NorthernIreland
The post’s author urged the British Secretary of State to intervene to stop what they called an unwanted march, saying it was causing fear and trauma in the Garvaghy Road community. They said Chris Bryant could halt it and called for 28 years of peace to be protected, adding that there should be no going back. https://t.co/XKOTyAMQNT #NorthernIreland #Peace #CommunityRights #GB
The recent events in Portadown pose a real risk to community relations in Northern Ireland. Having spoken with PM Burnham, we share a commitment to upholding the Good Friday Agreement. A return to past divisions is unthinkable. Now is a time for calm, leadership, and mediation. https://t.co/Nh9IWE8Y0B #Portadown #GoodFridayAgreement #NorthernIreland #GB #IE
Thousands of protesters blocked a road in Portadown, Northern Ireland, on 27 September, in an attempt to stop an Orange Order parade from entering the mainly Catholic and nationalist Garvaghy Road area. #NorthernIreland #Protests #OrangeOrder

I am following the events on the Garvaghy Road closely and I have been in contact with the Taoiseach and Minister for Foreign Affairs throughout the weekend and with political representatives in the North. My full statement: https://t.co/ZCrNNMxD8Y #GarvaghyRoad #Taoiseach #NorthernIreland #IE #GB
The High Court decision to stop the Orange Order march on the Garvaghy Rd is fantastic. It is impossible to over state the relief of the people across the north. Relations between nationalists & Unionists have improved so much in 30 years. We must not go backwards. #GarvaghyRoad #OrangeOrder #NorthernIreland #GB #IE
Today, the democratically elected leaders of Scotland, Wales, and the north of Ireland meet as equals Together, we strengthen our cooperation, respect our shared interests, and open a new chapter built on the sovereign right of our peoples to determine their own future Historic #Scotland #Wales #NorthernIreland #GB #SC #WA #IE
NATO DEFENDS NORTHERN IRELAND 🇬🇧🛡️ Trump — hands off Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not Washington’s property and it is not Dublin’s property. Its constitutional future belongs to the people of Northern Ireland under the Good Friday Agreement. I oppose any attempt to https://t.co/sV9cgIv9GN #NorthernIreland #GoodFridayAgreement #Trump #GB #US #IE
The expiry date Arlene Foster refers to only arises in the event of a majority in NI wanting Irish unity. Is the implication here that there should be no unity regardless of how many in NI desire it.

Off the table. But for how long? There is provision for a referendum in the Good Friday Agreement which means that the idea cannot be ‘off the table’ indefinitely. #GoodFridayAgreement #Referendum #NorthernIreland #IE #GB
This is a significant breech of the Good Friday Agreement. A foundation stone of the GFA is that the people of the north would decide. The GFA is an international treaty & should be defended by our government. Dont hold your breath... https://t.co/XS6A06MPiX #GoodFridayAgreement #GFA #NorthernIreland #GB #IE
Drumcree was one of the most bitter and dangerous disputes of the 1990s. It fuelled sectarian tension, violence and death. Resurecting Drumcree would be a massive mistake and could put progress in the north back decades. https://t.co/uWpqmrcAr9 #Drumcree #NorthernIreland #SectarianViolence #GB #IE
The collective amnesia on Drumcree is astounding. It was a disaster which ended with 3 children dead after their house was firebombed by the UVF. Talk about legal arguments all you want but the Drumcree march should be left in the past where it belongs. #Drumcree #NorthernIreland #CollectiveAmnesia #GB
Delighted to be here at this historic event to show support for the brave women smashing through the smearing and silencing of women’s rights campaigners in Northern Ireland. #WomensRights #NorthernIreland #Solidarity #GB
Northern Ireland’s Protestant loyalists have long felt their identity was under siege — from the Irish Catholics. Now anti-immigrant ideology has found a new toehold here — this time against not-whites and not-Christians https://t.co/DjyJtURyT2 #NorthernIreland #Loyalism #AntiImmigrant #GB #IE
Credit to @gardainfo for tracking & apprehending those who seek to inflict carnage in Northern Ireland. It is a reminder that, despite the great progress made, there are absolutely no grounds for complacency while extreme elements persist. https://t.co/rn78LV4ccl #NorthernIreland #Security #Complacency #GB #IE
Did he know better than to ask Northern Ireland? Or did he, like most British politicians, forget it exists? #NorthernIreland #BritishPolitics #PoliticalAwareness #GB #IE #NI
I don’t know if or when there will be united Ireland, but it’s not a case of 🇮🇪 wanting it. That makes no difference. It will only happen if the people of NI vote for it. If that happens, then there is no way of avoiding it. The two governments will have to find ways of #UnitedIreland #NorthernIreland #Referendum #IE #GB #NI
Positive results for Northern Ireland. It may be benefiting from its special status via a vis the EU. #NorthernIreland #EUBrexit #PositiveResults #GB #NW #EU
