Alliance Party Leader Naomi Long has extended her best wishes to Martin McGuinness on the announcement that he will not be running in the Assembly Election.
“I want to extend my sincere best wishes to Martin McGuinness for the future and wish him improved health in his retirement.
“Whilst our politics are very different, I recognise the degree to which he stretched himself and his constituency over recent years in order to move the political process forward. During that time he displayed significant moments of generosity, which were important in building relationships and securing the peace we enjoy.”
