  1. Debate contribution: General Teaching Council Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I do not intend to speak for too long. It will not surprise those present in the Chamber that we support the general thrust and direction that the Minister has outlined. Like others, however, we look forward to grappling with the Bill at the Committee for Education and asking some of the difficult questions that the…

  2. Debate contribution: Belfast City Hall: 19 October 2024

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    I will have another rattle and see whether we can get past the press office's prepared lines. As has been said, on 22 October, the Minister stated that a Sinn Féin employee had admitted involvement in the incident that led to the criminal damage of the portrait in Belfast City Hall. I am not asking about the PSNI or…

    Not flagged Decided on a second assessment.

  3. Debate contribution: Executive Office in Brussels: Capacity

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the First Minister for her answer. The office has an important role in not only influencing in Europe but being the canary in the mine that will warn us of any serious difficulties that may come from European legislation. One of the current difficulties is veterinary medicines. Has the First Minister had any…

  4. Debate contribution: Curriculum Mainstreaming and Strategy for Outdoor Learning in Schools

    • Committee Business

    I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion and to acknowledge the contribution to our educational landscape that is made by outdoor learning and the providers that bring it to our schools and that bring our schools to their facilities. We have heard that, across Northern Ireland, the forest schools model has…

  5. Written question AQW 35403/22-27

    • Department of Justice

    To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any additional measures her Department is taking, in conjunction with statutory and community partners, to address the recent escalation in anti-social behaviour and violent confrontations between young people at interface areas in East Belfast, including incidents around the…

  6. Debate contribution: Education Authority: Savings Plans

    • Questions for Urgent Oral Answer

    Clearly, the Minister is sensitive to the concerns that some of the decisions will cause families across Northern Ireland. Some people would say that they might be looked at as controversial. On that basis, did the Minister consider bringing the decisions to the Executive?

  7. Debate contribution: Assembly Business

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Yes. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I ask you to rule on remarks made by the leader of the Opposition in the earlier debate about the Minister's visit to Israel. He was entirely incorrect to say that the chief executive of the Education Authority was foisted on its board against its will: that…

  8. Debate contribution: Education Minister's Visit to Israel: Role of the Head of the Civil Service

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I make a declaration of interest, having been on the trip to Israel. Will the deputy First Minister clarify for the leader of the Opposition that the accountability of Ministers is to the House and not with him trying to politicise civil servants?

  9. Debate contribution: Exclusion of the Minister of Education from Office

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Given that the Minister did not make any decisions about amendments to the Bill in question, is it in order for the Member to challenge the Speaker's judgement on that issue?

    Not flagged

  10. Debate contribution: Holiday Homes and Short-term Lets

    • Private Members' Business

    Will the Member agree that one of the problems with short-term lets is that they also undercut some of the legitimate tourism businesses, which are subject to much more regulation and greater checks? I was at the event upstairs yesterday to do with electrical checks and regulations. They were talking about how private…

  11. Debate contribution: Holiday Homes and Short-term Lets

    • Private Members' Business

    I entirely agree with the Member. Does he agree that the problem is not only second homeownership but those who have a portfolio of family homes that they have turned into Airbnbs? We need not only a low cap but a sufficiently punitive sanction for those who refuse to register.

    Not flagged

  12. Debate contribution: Special Educational Needs Capital Investment Programme

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    We heard in the Chamber yesterday that the Minister's party has been responsible for holding back the discussion about that at the Executive. I am sure that he will agree that our SEN children and families should not be used as a pawn in a political game. Therefore, will he ask the First Minister to bring the matter…
