There are serious questions for the Court Service to answer and a need for serious reflection and review in this case, which has gone so badly wrong. I thank the Minister for her answers. What role will she and her Department play in reviewing the case with the Court Service to ensure that the chances of such a thing…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Prison Absconder Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Prison Absconder
There is no consideration of areas where flags are traditionally flown and have always been. I said last week that location is the key matter, and the police will tell you that. What is considered a problem in one area will not be considered offensive or a problem in another area, so location is key, but there is no…
Uncertain: close call Flags, emblems, symbols, names and memorials Criteria met: Cultural grievance politics.
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage
Yes, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I certainly agree that the Bill is written in a way that would make it very hard to fly any flags, including our Union flag, anywhere. You can go to any country, such as America, France or elsewhere in the UK, and, at times, people want to be proud of their national flag and fly…

I rise as a DUP representative to speak on the Member's Bill from the Alliance Party, the Display of Flags and Emblems Bill. I want to make my position clear at the outset: this is a very poor Bill. When you read the detail of it, you see that it is ridiculous and totally unworkable. I have to conclude that the Bill…

I thank the leader of the Opposition for tabling the motion, which has brought to the Chamber harmony and agreement, and that is good to see. Certainly, the fleadh that took place in Belfast last month was a great success overall. It brought great numbers of people into the city centre. I am not sure how well all…
Uncertain: close call Irish language, Ulster-Scots and language policy Criteria met: Cultural grievance politics.

In the time remaining to him, will the Member tell us what cuts the SDLP is proposing to make in order to live within the inadequate Budget that we have had since the start of this year?

I thank the Minister for his answer and those stark statistics. Will the Minister set out his approach to what would constitute "reasonable numbers" in a new school rather than in a transforming school?

Assessment details for Debate contribution: Integrated Schools: Reasonable Numbers Criterion Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Integrated Schools: Reasonable Numbers Criterion
Thank you. The SDLP motion captures very well its predictable and often contradictory approach to the politics of opposition. Here we have it criticising the Executive, as is its wont, while at the same time arguing for both sides of the issue. That suggests that the SDLP is criticising just for the sake of it. It…

Assessment details for Written question AQW 51419/22-27 Official Assembly record for Written question AQW 51419/22-27
Does the Minister agree that the fleadh was a good example of how our shared cultures can be celebrated together, which is in stark contrast with the despicable scenes and glorification of terrorism that we see annually at the west Belfast festival?
Sectarianism, hate crime and community relations Criteria met: Identity framing, Cultural grievance politics, Dog-whistle messaging, Controversy escalation.

To clarify, the point that I was making is that this is getting into the role of the police. It is not that it is getting into cultural matters. The criteria are, at clause 1(2)(a): "the flag or emblem is intimidatory or threatening", and, at clause 1(2)(b): "likely to stir up hatred, or arouse fear". Clause 1(2)(c)…
