Debate contribution: Potholes: Road Safety Fears
I hope that the Minister is aware of the totally unacceptable and entirely avoidable circumstances at the Ballygowan Road: on Wednesday, a funeral limousine was wrecked; and on Saturday afternoon and evening, many cars were damaged. I am interested in hearing what the Department has learned from that. Many Members…

Debate contribution: Special Educational Needs Reform Agenda
I thank the Minister for his answer, but the continued stress on the Education budget, especially when it comes to capital need and increasing SEN demand, is very real, and the sector has been shocked and stressed by the Finance Minister's draft multi-year Budget cuts to Education. Does the Minister agree that the…

Debate contribution: Academic Selection
I do have to say that the only people whom I hear routinely talking about those children as "failures" or being labelled "failures" are those arguing against the system. The system puts children into non-selective but often very good schools, but you do not hear us describing that as failure. It is only from those on…

Does the Member recognise that the story that he is telling us is one that I recognise from schools such as Ashfield in my constituency and proves the point that it is not condemning young people to failure if they do not do well in their 11-plus, because there are schools that bring them on, just as your school did…

Debate contribution: Academic Selection
We all recognise that this issue is one that raises strong opinions and passions; one on which views can be polarised. Education shapes not only the future of our children but the economic, cultural and civic health of Northern Ireland. Individuals and families will have different but equally valid experiences —…

Debate contribution: Religious Education and Collective Worship in Schools
I thank the Minister for the clarity that he has brought this morning on the way forward. He, like me, will have received a petition last week, which was signed by over 90,000 people and outlined their concern at the Supreme Court judgement. He spoke about the unique role of the Churches in drafting the curriculum.…

Member's statement: Potholes
I see that the Infrastructure Minister has now left the Chamber, I hope, to get a grip on the issue of potholes across Northern Ireland. On Saturday night, my phone lit up with constituents getting in touch with urgent reports that 12 cars with their hazard lights flashing were blocking the country-bound lane on the…

It was worrying but not surprising to hear school leaders today echo the Minister's concerns on the Sinn Féin Budget.
