  1. Debate contribution: Community Crisis Intervention Service: Closure

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I will endeavour to cover as many Members' comments as I can in five minutes. I had the privilege of visiting the community crisis intervention service in different locations over the past few years, and I had the chance to meet staff at different times. They were absolutely…

  2. Debate contribution: Child Poverty

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I welcome the opportunity to wind up the debate on this important motion. With one in five of our children living in absolute poverty, we are failing not just a statistic but an entire generation of young people in Northern Ireland. The latest Northern Ireland poverty and income…

  3. Debate contribution: Musical Instruments for Bands: Criteria

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, you said that the Arts Council can withhold funding. Are you are aware of any instances in which it has done so? Is it the case that those duties exist on paper only, with no real enforcement? What will your Department do to ensure that the Arts Council enforces its own standards?

  5. Debate contribution: School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill: Final Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you, Minister, for giving way. Can you understand that some of us may be a bit perplexed when we talk about equality and the rights of girls to wear trousers and are told that that is already in place and that it is up to schools? That still leaves some schools where girls are allowed to wear trousers and other…

  6. Debate contribution: School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill: Final Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for his point and wholeheartedly agree. That speaks to the issue of equality and the things that the Bill could have done. I understand the Minister's position that this is ultimately about affordability, but it could have been so much more. As Pat mentioned, it should be about equality and access…

  7. Debate contribution: School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill: Final Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister, and I take his point and understand his position. For me, however, this is about equality in all schools. It is about the rights of every young woman or girl at a particularly vulnerable time in their life, when they are starting puberty and managing periods for the first time. It does not go far…

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you, Mr Speaker. I am not changing my name just yet. I am still a Hunter, which is very good. I welcome the opportunity to speak on the School Uniforms Bill. I have to be honest: I am disappointed that the Bill, in its current form, does not engage with issues specific to women and girls. Today, I am wearing a…

  9. Debate contribution: Bathing Water Sites

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, sea swimming is popular in my constituency from Portrush to Coleraine, Benone and beyond. We even have groups such as the Menopausal Mermaids and Salty Sea Sisters. What action are you taking to maintain areas that are used for bathing? Have you identified any parts of the North that do not have any and, if…

  10. Debate contribution: Prisons: Emotional Support Animals

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I am in solidarity with you, Minister, following the mob at your house, last week. We are all thinking of you. Following up on the previous questions, will the Minister confirm whether emotional support animals, particularly dogs, receive specific training before being placed in a prison? Do prison officers receive…
