It's election fever all over Ireland with a General Election in a matter of weeks and Wednesday's Assembly Elections in the North. Last Friday Pat went up to Belfast to campaign with SDLP leader Mark Durkan and to show Labour's ongoing support for the SDLP our sister party.

During the day Pat said: "I would urge all parties not to delay and procrastinate further. They must seize the opportunity immediately after the election and to agree to the return of the Assembly and the Executive.

"In doing so we will know that Northern Ireland is on the road to becoming the truly peaceful, democratic and lawful society that it's people deserve."

Pat's visit is one of many over the last couple of years where members of the Parliamentary Labour Party have travelled all over the North to help canvas in different areas.
