Conall McDevitt has been selected to replace Carmel Hanna as MLA for South Belfast. Ms. Hanna is standing down in the New Year. Mr McDevitt said his selection was an honour and he paid tribute to Mrs Hanna’s work as an MLA. “For more than a decade Carmel Hanna has led by example and her record as a hard working representative is unquestionable. It will be a big job to fill her boots but I promise to work tirelessly to build on the strong foundations she has laid and to honour her work and her values by bringing the same dedication she has to the issues which challenge all of our lives.”
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
