  1. Member's statement: Community and Voluntary Sector: Funding

    • Members' Statements

    I rise to speak on the urgent need to invest in our community and voluntary (C&V) sector. If we do not invest in our community and voluntary sector, the truth is that we will lose not only the vital services that each of us know are critical to strengthening and supporting local people on the ground but the very…

    "Person-centred", "cost-effectiveness" and "life-saving" are just some of the terms that local people and Extern staff have used to describe the community crisis intervention centre in Derry. I thank the signatories to the motion and emphasise my support, and that of my party, for urgent, equitable investment in…

  3. Member's statement: Adverse Childhood Experiences

    • Members' Statements

    The beginning of 2025 was marked by the launch of 'The Prevalence and Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences', groundbreaking research that found that almost one in five people in society here had experienced four or more adverse childhood experiences. Now, as we approach the end of the year, the Simon Community has…

    Thank you, Minister, for the update. As you are well aware, local people, organisations and groups are very keen to continue to engage with you and the Department. Do you have any timescales for when there may be further public engagement with local organisations and residents?

  7. Debate contribution: Criminal Justice System: Failure to Transform

    • Private Members' Business

    I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion. First, I acknowledge the core point that the Chief Inspector of Criminal Justice here made in November 2024: "“If there ever was a time for more cohesion and shared priorities it is now." We all know the pressures on our justice system, and the pressures on delivering…

  8. Debate contribution: Disability and Work Strategy

    • Ministerial Statement

    I welcome the Minister's disability and work strategy and note that you will launch a disability strategy in the next few weeks. That is very welcome. Obviously, it is essential that the strategy receives the appropriate funding to support its implementation. Will you confirm what additional investment there will be…

  9. Debate contribution: Drug-testing Schemes

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank my colleagues for tabling the motion on harm reduction initiatives and the need for rapid drug-testing schemes at festivals and concerts. No drugs are safe in our communities, yet, sadly, too many lives are lost due to drug and alcohol misuse. Harm reduction initiatives such as rapid drug testing can help…

  10. Member's statement: Bowel Cancer

    • Members' Statements

    I rise to speak on bowel cancer, something that is quite personal to me, as I lost my father in 2002 to bowel cancer two weeks after his diagnosis. Bowel cancer is treatable and curable, especially if diagnosed early. Nearly everyone survives bowel cancer if it is diagnosed at the earliest stage. Survival rates drop…

    Not flagged

  11. Debate contribution: Housing: Antisocial Behaviour

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    What contact has the Minister had with other Departments — I think specifically about work by the Department of Education, our youth workers, his Department through community development and the Department of Justice — about increasing and improving diversionary activity in the hotspot troubled areas in our estates?
