  1. Debate contribution: Mobile Phone Coverage: West Belfast

    • Adjournment

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I am from Fermanagh and South Tyrone, and we all know that west is best. As someone from the west speaking about mobile phone infrastructure, I sympathise wholeheartedly with people who cannot access good mobile phone coverage. I would love to have 4G in my area, never mind…

  2. Debate contribution: Illegal Immigration: Impact in Northern Ireland

    • Private Members' Business

    I rise to speak on this important motion, in which there is a lot of public interest. Many of our constituents have always shown generosity to those who play by the rules, yet that goodwill is being stretched to breaking point because His Majesty's Government have allowed an uncontrolled system of illegal immigration…

  3. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Football Fund: Update

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer. He will be aware of Dungannon Swifts' recent win in the Irish Cup final, and I hope that he will join me in congratulating them. Dungannon Swifts is testament to the importance of home-grown talent, particularly with respect to Dungannon United Youth, bringing grassroots sport to…

  4. Debate contribution: GP GMS Contract 2025-26

    • Ministerial Statement

    I thank the Minister for his interesting statement. Access to GPs is an issue that is raised with me daily, particularly by rural patients, who have to travel further. He will know that, in the south-west area, we have a had a collapse of services, and I am concerned that the statement will push further collapse. My…

  5. Member's statement: Driver and Vehicle Agency: Reported Fraud

    • Members' Statements

    I am concerned about media reports over the weekend that centred on what seems to be fraudulent activity in the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA). Yesterday, the media reported that some drivers had been able to gain a licence through payment, having not sat a driving test, and that, as a result, a police investigation…

  6. Debate contribution: A5 Western Transport Corridor: Impact on Local Communities

    • Adjournment

    I thank the Minister for giving way. I asked a clear question about planning and work with the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs on the ammonia strategy, because the question on the lips of many landowners is how they will replace agricultural buildings. What is the Minister doing about planning?

  7. Debate contribution: A5 Western Transport Corridor: Impact on Local Communities

    • Adjournment

    I declare an interest, as my husband's family are landowners along the A5. I thank my party colleague Tom Buchanan for securing this timely and important Adjournment debate. It is disappointing, though, that the A5 project has been beset by misinformation and misconceptions. There is loss on all sides of the argument,…

  8. Member's statement: Clogher Valley: Wildfire

    • Members' Statements

    My statement is on a related subject. I pay tribute to the scores of firefighters who tackled a blaze in the Clogher Valley last week. At one point, over 100 firefighters were tasked to the area. The Fire and Rescue Service indicated that the fires were started deliberately, and I wholeheartedly condemn those…

  12. Debate contribution: Lisnaskea Capital Build Projects

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. She will know that it is not just about capital for innocent victim groups like SEFF. SEFF does a vast amount of work in supporting innocent victims and helping them through the justice process, which can be arduous and difficult, particularly for innocent victims.…

    Mrs Erskine asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, given that, in June 2021, the then First Minister and deputy First Minister made a public commitment at the former site of Lisnaskea High School to several redevelopments on that site, including capital build projects for a health centre, an Irish-medium…

  14. Debate contribution: Tackling Waiting Lists — Investment Plan

    • Ministerial Statements

    I thank the Minister for his statement. Tackling waiting lists is important, but, obviously, I want to see the South West Acute Hospital (SWAH) at the top of the list in the commissioning of theatre space. What are the Minister and his Department doing to ensure that the SWAH does get that extra commissioned theatre…

  15. Member's statement: Dungannon Swifts: Irish Cup Final

    • Members' Statements

    A lot of people feel blue today. One town in particular has been painted blue and white in honour of the mighty Dungannon Swifts, who beat Cliftonville in the Irish Cup final on Saturday. What a final it was. When I congratulated Dungannon Swifts in the Chamber on their semi-final win, I said that there would be 90…
