Kelly launches public petition against cuts to health service and education

“It doesn’t have to be like that. When so many of us endorsed the Good Friday Agreement we never thought it would be like this. The SDLP believes that a deal to restore power-sharing is possible if the political will exists. That’s why we’re fighting back.
“We’re calling on others to join us.
“Join us and fight back against cuts to our hospitals, our health service staff, our schools and our public services.”
