Half a mile from my home in Lagan Valley, it is a changed place. There are GAA pitches, Orange halls, LGBT clubs and Egyptian societies. That is the new Northern Ireland—the north—everyone’s shared homeplace. I know that, in Lagan Valley, there is a weight on my shoulder to deliver leadership for people right across the community regardless of their view, but I have no fear that either Alliance or myself, in my time in this House, will fall short when it comes to representing and fighting for people.
