SDLP Conference: Claire Hanna's speech in full
That's all from us. Thank you for following our live coverage of Claire Hanna's first conference speech as SDLP Leader.
Hanna will be live on Sunday Politics tomorrow morning. That's at 10:00 BST on BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer.
"I feel inequality, sectarianism, the border and lack of ambition like a straightjacket on our society."
"I want us to harness all our qualities to tackle all those challenges. In the months ahead we’re going to get out there and listen, and hear, and act. We’re going to be clear about who we are and where we’re going."
Claire Hanna talks about her vision for a 'new Ireland' saying: "We’ll do everything we can to make Stormont work, but we refuse to believe that that’s as good as it gets."
She adds: "A new Ireland isn’t a magic wand. But it takes us closer to a connected, dynamic economy. It takes us back into Europe. It takes us to a society that values the arts, to a progressive foreign policy, to a real say in where we’re going."
Claire Hanna talks about the prospect of constitutional change saying: "The purpose is to create a fairer, more prosperous society, with reconciliation at its heart."
We believe, in time, that a new Ireland will best make that ambition real. That change is not the ends, but the best means of improving lives."
"And we know the journey will truly shape the destination. How we get there, matters."
"If you’re missing precious years in pain waiting for surgery, we’re speaking up for you."
"If you’re awake at night trying to make the numbers add up for your small business, we’re speaking for you."
"If you’re afraid to go out at night, afraid to be in your home, because of racist attacks, we’re speaking up for you."
Hanna says: "When was the last time you heard a real discussion about our future? A serious plan for our economy and our public services?"
"In a social democracy there’d be a planned approach to housing; a real effort to save Lough Neagh. Social democracy means social cohesion, not all the culture war. It means reconciling competing interests, not just carving up the spoils."
Hanna says: "I think the SDLP has been a bit stuck too. In the years since peace, it’s fair to say that we haven’t always been quick enough on our feet. We haven’t been clear about who we are."
She adds: "At times we’ve listened to each other more than we’ve listened to voters. We’ve tried to make people think, when people need to feel. We’ve given the impression of looking back, instead of looking forward."
"It can be hard to look forward when politics is so often dragged to the past. Nostalgia is great, if you can get your hands on an Oasis ticket, but it’s no political strategy."
Claire Hanna begins her speech paying tribute to her family. Talking about her husband, Belfast city councillor Donal Lyons she says "So I fell in love with a Dubliner, a young labour party worker and created a new North-South partnership."
"Like all the North-South institutions, it’s had its share of stand-offs, of tense negotiations, but it has survived. I’ve always said that marriage and being in a political party are quite similar. You’ll never find one that is absolutely perfect, but you pick the best available, the one closest to your values, and you dedicate your life to improving it."

In her first speech as SDLP leader, Hanna is expected to say that Irish unity "means a new Northern Ireland along the way".
She will set out how she wants constitutional change "because of" her social democratic values, rather than an "either or" scenario.
Hanna is also expected to say people should not be "waiting for a border poll to start changing people's lives".
The SDLP is the official opposition in the Northern Ireland Assembly, which was restored in February after a two-year hiatus.
The party retained its two Westminster seats in July's general election.
