  1. Debate contribution: Knockmore Line to Belfast International Airport

    • Adjournment

    I thank John for bringing the Adjournment debate to the House and for all his work on the issue. When he was a councillor, David Ford was in the Assembly, and the Knockmore line was being put forward then. I bring a Lagan Valley, rather than South Antrim, perspective to the debate. We will fight about where the line…

  2. Debate contribution: Olympic Legacy Fund

    • Ministerial Statements

    I thank the Minister for his statement. As others have said, every penny invested in sport is really welcome. I associate myself with the Minister's comments about our athletes and their success. Half of the South's Olympic medals came from our incredible athletes from the North. The context is that £1 million is…

    • Ministerial Statement

    I welcome the progression of the programme for Lisburn Rangers, Ballymacash Rangers and Lisburn Distillery in Lagan Valley. I have worked with all three.

  5. Member's statement: Manufacturing Strategy and Action Plan

    • Members' Statements

    Today, I welcome the investment in 1,000 new jobs. That good news shows the value of investing in our people. Three years ago, funding went into college training programmes. The weekend's announcement proves that supporting skills and backing our young people delivers real opportunities. That is why it is essential…

  6. Debate contribution: Windsor Framework

    • Private Members' Business

    On the first day back, this is the first motion. A couple of weeks ago, we had an announcement that 19,000 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 are not in education, training or employment and have absolutely no hope of anything in the future, yet the DUP brings a motion on the Windsor framework. You could not…

  7. Topical question AQT 1515/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr Honeyford asked the Minister of Education, who says that he is the Minister who delivers and who shares the Member's Lagan Valley constituency, given that, in September every year, pupils come to the Member about the fact that they did not get a bus pass, because they were not told at the time of applying for…

    Reducing Household Energy Costs (Revised Wording) That this Assembly acknowledges the role that poorly insulated and energy-inefficient social housing plays in driving up energy costs, thus contributing to fuel poverty; notes the benefits of reducing carbon emissions from the housing sector; recognises the value of…

  9. Debate contribution: Administrative and Financial Provisions Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I feel like Matthew O'Toole, being on my feet constantly. I will be a more positive Matthew than the version that you are used to, Minister. The SDLP complained earlier about the number of Bills that have come through. The length of time that we have been back and the fact that the Bill is coming through only now…

  10. Debate contribution: Insolvency (Amendment) Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    The Bill introduces key reforms that will give viable businesses the space and flexibility to, potentially, get back on their feet. It also provides clarity and confidence, which is important to creditors and investors. Ultimately, that is vital for a stable and attractive economy. We need a balanced approach to…

  11. Debate contribution: Enterprise Support Ecosystem

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for her answer. It is good news that the process will be simplified, thus allowing small businesses to have greater flexibility. Will the Minister give me a timeline for when she hopes the group to be place? She said that the action plan will have a lifespan of up to three years. Will the Minister…

  12. Debate contribution: Insolvency (Amendment) Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Deputy Speaker, I have spoken to you about your dad before, but, as it is the first time that you have been in the Chair when I have been in the Chamber, I also pass on my sympathies. I agree with what has been said. I speak in support of the Bill and welcome its Second Stage. As Alliance Party spokesperson on the…

  13. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Fiscal Council Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    On behalf of the Alliance Party I support the Northern Ireland Fiscal Council Bill and welcome its long-awaited introduction to the Assembly after the council's formation in March 2021 on a non-statutory basis following the New Decade, New Approach agreement. Since 2021, the Fiscal Council has been instrumental in…

  14. Debate contribution: The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025

    • Executive Committee Business

    On behalf of the Alliance Party, I acknowledge the passage of the legislation, which marks a significant shift in how personal, business and public-sector data is accessed, shared and governed across the UK. It is disappointing that it has come to us as a take-note motion and has not been given adequate time to come…

  15. Debate contribution: Public Expenditure: Provisional Out-turn 2024-25 and June Monitoring 2025-26

    • Ministerial Statement

    Can the Minister give us an update on any review of procurement for capital projects and say whether he is looking at restructuring his centres of procurement to make sure that we do not end up with another A5?
