Alliance leader Naomi Long MLA has been out on the campaign trail with candidates in the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council area.

Mrs Long met with candidates in Glenavy, Lisburn and Hillsborough.

“We understand that people are frustrated and fed up with politics and politicians, but we want to be politicians who actually do the job we were elected to do and who make a difference to your life,” she said.

“The only way we can do that is if people come out on May 18 to use your vote to send a message that you want us back in Stormont and you want politicians who deliver on their promises.
