  1. Debate contribution: Foster Carers

    • Private Members' Business

    I very much welcome the chance to speak on the topic of foster carers today. Foster carers are an incredibly important cohort of incredibly selfless and generous people in our society. Locally, foster carers provide truly invaluable support to so many children and young people right across Northern Ireland. Most…

  2. Debate contribution: Addiction and Drug-related Deaths

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you. Mr Deputy Speaker. I commend the proposer of the motion for bringing forward such an important topic for discussion. Alcohol and drug abuse can ruin families and sadly cost lives. I offer my deepest sympathies to all families who have sadly lost loved ones in such difficult circumstances. I cannot start to…

  3. Debate contribution: Cotton River: Pollution

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his reply. It is disappointing to hear of the small number of prosecutions and detections over a 10-year period, because it is widely recognised that that river makes a huge contribution to the ongoing failure of water quality in Ballyholme bay. I know that, in the recent past, the Minister,…

  4. Debate contribution: Ramming of Police Vehicles: South Armagh

    • Private Members' Business

    I declare an interest as a pending member of the Northern Ireland Policing Board. The use of vehicles, usually stolen or unregistered, to ram police vehicles to escape arrest, is a relatively new phenomenon in Northern Ireland. It appears to be a difficult criminal tactic to deal with in rural locations, especially…

  8. Debate contribution: Hospital Parking Charges Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    The issue has been discussed at length by the current and the previous Health Committee. Indeed, I recall many lengthy discussions in the previous mandate during which, although the broader good intent of the Act was noted, some genuine warnings and concerns were raised about what would happen if the necessary steps…

  9. Debate contribution: Waiting Lists: 3Ps Policy

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Today's report from the Royal College of Paediatrics has reiterated the awful figures that many of us have known for some time. We are a fortnight into the financial year, and, still with little budgetary clarity on the horizon, can the Minister provide an update on the challenges that his Department and the trusts…

  10. Debate contribution: Communities in Transition: Update

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Will the Minister confirm whether she has had discussions with the Justice Minister about moving away from the use of the term "paramilitaries" and to focus instead on calling them what they are, which is drug dealers, child abusers and organised crime gangs?

  11. Debate contribution: Defective Premises

    • Ministerial Statement

    I certainly welcome the statement today. Does the Minister agree that it points up the advantage of having a devolved legislature in this place that can act quickly and decisively in the interests of the people who we represent? That is demonstrated by the statement and was also demonstrated by how the Finance…

  12. Debate contribution: Revenue-raising Schemes: Executive Consideration

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister. The Fiscal Council and the Fiscal Commission conducted detailed analysis and presented several outcomes. Has the Minister discarded those? If so, what does she plan to do to cover the growing fiscal gap?

  13. Member's statement: Road Closures

    • Members' Statements

    My statement is in regard to an issue that most of us in the Chamber, as elected representatives, have had to deal with at some time, namely road maintenance projects that require road closures. Some road closures will be for a short period and will only be in place during working hours, whereas others can involve…
