Kelly slams attempt to intimidate workers in Ardoyne

Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly has slammed an attempt to intimidate and take money from workers building homes in Ardoyne today. 

The North Belfast MLA said:

“Earlier this evening a man approached workers who are building homes on the old St Gemma’s School site in Ardoyne and threatened to burn a mechanical digger if they did not pay money. 

“It’s absolutely disgraceful that workers and contractors who are building badly needed homes for families are being intimidated. 

“These threats should be withdrawn immediately and those responsible should get off the backs of the workers and the local community. 

“I have been in touch with the PSNI and if anyone has any information on this incident, they should bring it forward.”

Increasing Road Tolls while households are still battling to make ends meet during a cost of living crisis is wrong.They shouldn't go ahead.
Tolls disproportionately impact those living in rural areas who are forced to use a private car as public transport options just dont exist

All workers should receive a fair wage & have their rights protected. 

Too many workers right across our society are underpaid & undervalued, & are struggling with the rising cost of living.

We must work together to help put more money into the pockets of workers & families.

I wrote to @chhcalling last week emphasising the gravity of the political situation & need for urgent action.

Sinn Féin will now attend the political roundtable on Monday. 

We stand ready to engage on finances, which should conclude promptly, with the Executive immediately…
