Alliance Launches Election Manifesto
The Alliance Party has launched its Election Manifesto and has produced five steps to move Northern Ireland "forward faster".
The party's leader David Ford said the manifesto will bring "deliver, not delay".
Mr Ford said: "Alliance is committed to building an integrated society - we want to see integrated education, mixed housing and the removal of interface barriers so people can live and learn, work and play together. We also want to remove the costs of division - which costs us hundreds of millions of pounds each year. We will reinvest that money in areas that need it, such as health, skills and protecting the vulnerable.
"Alliance knows our economy is consistently underachieving - that's why we want to make Northern Ireland the most dynamic regional economy in Europe by 2030 by investing further in our skills. We also see the need for transparency in politics, which is why Alliance has led the way in removing the shroud of secrecy, which we will continue to do.
"This week has seen another murder on the streets, once again bearing all the hallmarks of a paramilitary attack. Eighteen years after the Good Friday Agreement, it has never been more vital to remove the poison of paramilitarism. Alliance is determined to end all forms, moving us forward faster to a safe society."
