Bringing East Antrim’s Voice to the Centre of Decision-Making
Last week I visited the Oxygen Therapy Centre in Larne.
Many people drive past this building every day and probably have no idea what is on offer inside – I certainly didn’t. I was genuinely fascinated by the range of services available and the difference they are making to people’s lives.
I had the opportunity to meet a number of service users who told me first-hand how much the centre has helped them. Hearing their stories was both inspiring and encouraging.
The centre offers High Dose Oxygen Therapy, Salt Therapy and Electromagnetic Therapy, helping people with a wide range of conditions and supporting their overall wellbeing. Such is its reputation that people have travelled from as far away as the United States to avail of the treatments on offer.
I also met some of the dedicated staff and volunteers who give their time to keep this fantastic service running. Their commitment to helping others was clear to see.
After my visit, I decided I wanted to make a short video to help promote this excellent local charity and raise awareness of the valuable work they do.
As a charity, the service is donation-based, meaning treatments are available at a fraction of the cost of many private facilities.
Take a few minutes to watch the video and learn more about this hidden gem in Larne. You can also find out more by visiting their website.

🚛 Yesterday I met with Ben Logan from Generation Logistics
Our economy depends on lorries, ships 🚢 and transport links to keep goods moving and shelves stocked. Yet too often this vital industry is only noticed when things go wrong.
We discussed:
📦 The Windsor Framework and the extra cost & disruption of moving goods from GB to NI
💷 A 5% rise in Irish Sea shipping costs from July due to new net zero charges
👷 Ongoing shortages of drivers and mechanics due to training & recruitment issues
At the same time:
⚖️ The Government is reluctant to challenge EU border controls
🏛️ NI Ministers have been slow to develop a logistics strategy
🌱 Net zero policies are adding further pressure without proper consideration
This industry underpins every part of our economy — it cannot be ignored.
✅ We will continue to work with the sector and push for solutions.

I was delighted to attend a fascinating tour of the Natural History Museum on Tuesday with the Royal Entomological Society 🐝🌿
It was a great opportunity to explore the incredible world of insects and the vital role they play in supporting our ecosystems and agriculture. Insights like these are hugely valuable for my work on the Environmental Audit Committee as we look at the future of environmental policy 🌍
I look forward to continuing to work with organisations like the Royal Entomological Society as we tackle the environmental challenges ahead.

Children are not test subjects.
I will speak Parliament against plans to proceed with puberty blocker trials on children. Their safety, wellbeing and future must come before political ideology.

Many egg-laying hens spend their lives in conditions equivalent to squeezing four fully grown adults into a single UK telephone box.
Most people would agree that’s wrong. Animal welfare matters, and we should be striving for better standards.
