“We are delighted to join the Assembly today to represent the people of Foyle.

“This is an exciting opportunity for Derry as we take up our new roles at a crucial time for politics right across the island. 

“Our priority is working to deliver on jobs and investment, more social and affordable homes, and ensure commitments to Magee University and a detox centre are honoured.”

Pádraig Delargy MLA added:

“It’s an exciting time to be involved in politics and we move forward with energy and positivity as we work towards delivering a referendum on Irish unity.

“Our city has so much potential to grow and thrive and we will work with our all-Ireland team to ensure that a modern, transformed Derry takes its place at the heart of a united Ireland.”
