Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on April 05, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Gerry! From navigating the stormy seas of politics to mastering Belfast North's endless debates—your resilience is legendary. Who else could transition from revolutionary fervor to parliamentary patience with such style? Your speeches remain sharper than a politician’s suit on election day!

Whether it's your tireless advocacy or that unforgettable moment scaling gates (a skill politicians everywhere envy), you've certainly kept life interesting and headlines lively. May this birthday bring you as much joy as watching opponents scramble during question time.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success—and perhaps fewer fences in your path! Cheers, Gerry!
