The new leader of the Green Party in Northern Ireland has told of his determination to grow his party and recapture Stormont seats lost in the Assembly election.
Belfast councillor Mal O'Hara, 43, replaced Clare Bailey as leader on Sunday following a disappointing election result in May which saw the party lose both of its MLAs.
In an interview with the PA news agency, Mr O'Hara also told of his desire to see the region become self-sufficient in energy and to change "hearts and minds" over environmental issues.
