Brian O'NeillI help to manage Slugger by taking care of the site as well as running our live events. My background is in business, marketing and IT. My politics tend towards middle-of-the-road pragmatism, I am not a member of any political party. Oddly for a member of the Slugger team, I am not that interested in daily politics, preferring to write about big ideas in society. When not stuck in front of a screen, I am a parkrun Run Director.

There’s been much talk of our East Belfast debate tonight between the two frontrunner candidates (Naomi Long and Gavin Robinson) and why people cannot get tickets to go (they were all free for entry, but we needed to control the numbers so there’s no entry tonight without one). The answer is simply that we were sold out in the first four hours. So we’ll be trying our best to bring you the best tweets and comments on the night here …

Budget Day for Northern Ireland Okay, I’m starting this early so people can get into some of the reporting on the UK budget early. I’m in and out of Slugger Central all day, but the focus will unapologetically on how it affects Northern Ireland. That’s a job not just for reporting the bullet points of a speech but the unravelling of detail… So I hope to keep this one open for the next 24 hours… Mick FealtyMick is founding editor …
