I was at the final yesterday: it was a great, tight game that just did not go our way. The sentiment of the GAA community in west Belfast is this: they believe that Casement Park is essential, and they know that it will be delivered. Does the Minister agree that it is a positive development not just for the GAA but…

Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank those Members who have contributed to the debate and those who have supported the legislation throughout. I thank the Bill Office for its professional support and guidance throughout. That is why I am going to reject all the amendments, because I have real…
Minister, I will jog your memory of that night. You were being interviewed in Lisburn in the midst of a protest that you attended and supported at which there was a crowd of masked men. We know what happened that night: businesses were instructed to close and were intimidated into doing so; migrants were subjected to…
Mr Baker asked the Minister of Education whether he believes that his conduct on 9 June 2026 was consistent with the Pledge of Office, which he has highlighted.
To ask the Minister of Education whether he, his special advisor or any of his officials have issued any instruction, direction or guidance to other Department officials in relation to responding to enquiries from (i) individual journalists; (ii) particular media organisations; and (iii) journalists making enquiries,…

It almost sounded as though your colleague was having a bit of a go at you when he said that everything was rushed during COVID and not done properly, when you were sitting there as…

It was a very good Committee Stage, and that is what has made for quite a comfortable Consideration Stage, if I am brutally honest,…

You heard the evidence: you know that some children are returning to school four and a half months behind their peers who are not on free school meals; you know that children on free school meals are five times more likely to leave school without five GCSEs. The evidence is…
