Motion Text

That this House recognises the contribution made to their local communities by regional newpapers across the UK; acknowledges the longevity of a local journalist in Northern Ireland by the name of W. 'Speedy' Moore who has contributed a column in his local weekly newspaper for over 70 years; believes this to be of outstanding duration, comparing favourably with any other similar weekly journalistic contributions across the United Kingdom; and wishes every success to Mr Moore as he approaches his 92nd birthday.
