To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on preparations for the Communities in Transition programme as part of the Executive programme to tackle paramilitarism, criminality and organised crime.
I beg to move The decision by the United States and Israel to launch unprovoked military operations against Iran is a flagrant violation of the United Nations charter and international law. It is the second time in nine months that America has begun a war in the midst of a live political negotiation. Just days before…
Thank you for that intervention in relation to decorum in the House, Deputy Speaker. Minister, do you agree that warmongering should have no place in the House and that we should concentrate on what really matters to working people across society in unionist areas, nationalist areas and where people have no political…
Go raibh maith agat. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chéad-Aire. Once again, First Minister, some within political unionism have engaged in despicable warmongering and distraction and, of course, have cast themselves as outliers in relation to support for human rights and multilateralism. First Minister, will you commit to…
Mr Kearney asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to comment on the remarks last week from the former leader of the DUP, Arlene Foster, advocating increased spending on militarism and weapons of mass destruction and on her big plan to strip support from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society.
Continuation of PEACEPLUS Funding beyond 2027 That this Assembly notes the positive impact that PEACEPLUS funding has had on the cross-border economy and grass-roots community organisations; recognises the value of PEACEPLUS with £1 billion worth of funding allocated to 145 projects from the 2021-27 scheme so far;…
The emergence of the all-Ireland economy is probably one of the most significant and positive results of our peace process. All-island integration benefits everyone. It drives economic prosperity, creates business and investment opportunities and improves the lives of families and people in every part of the island.…

To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether any assessment has been made on the cumulative impact that US Israeli-led military attacks in the Middle East is having on the cost of living locally.
Illegal US and Israeli Attacks on Iran That this Assembly stands firmly behind international law and condemns the illegal US and Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of the United Nations Charter and international law; further condemns the human rights violations, lack of democracy and breaches of the Universal…
I agree with the proposer of the motion that Ireland's assuming the presidency of the Council of the European Union will present all sorts of political and diplomatic opportunities for the entire island. It can also provide a platform for continuing to navigate the post-Brexit challenges with which we have had to…
The US/Israeli actions at the weekend, in starting this war against Iran and across the Middle East, are a flagrant violation of the United Nations charter and international law. Yet again, the multilateral system has been fundamentally damaged. This is the second time in nine months that the United States has mounted…
Minister, you may have touched on my supplementary question in your response, but I will nevertheless ask it: how will the research take into account the lived experience of those who speak an Ghaeilge ?
Cuimhníonn an Lá Domhanda um Cheartas Sóisialta dúinn faoina thábhachtaí atá an tsíocháin dhomhanda, cearta an duine agus an lucht oibre, meas ar an dlí idirnáisiúnta, agus comhionannas eacnamaíochta.

Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. Gabhaim buíochas le mo chomhghleacaí as an díospóireacht seo a thabhairt chun an Tí inniu. I begin by acknowledging the hurt caused to the residents of Riverside, Massereene Street and Meadowside in particular and the resilience of those communities. They are little…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht an fhreagra sin. Your Ministry has increasingly become defined as one with a reputation for being hostile to the Irish language, hostile to equality and hostile to the Irish language community and to meetings with it. That is the opposite of what should be expected from your…
Ba mhaith liom fearadh na fáilte a chur roimh ard-fheis Chonradh na Gaeilge i mBéal Feirste ag deireadh na seachtaine seo chugainn. Is mór againn gur roghnaíodh Béal Feirste le hArd-Fheis na bliana seo a óstáil, nó tá an chathair ar thús cadhnaíochta in athbheochan na Gaeilge. Choinnigh pobail i mBéal Feirste, agus…
Friday's High Court ruling is hugely significant. It vindicates the position of thousands of activists, including the brave hunger strikers, that highlighting genocide is not a crime. State suppression of the Palestinian solidarity movement has failed in its attempt to silence those exposing Israeli war crimes, which…
In the decade since the British Government and DUP's reckless decision to leave the EU, we have all had to grapple with economic uncertainty and political and social instability. Fortunately, the regional economy in the North has been able to rely on protections from the Windsor framework. The regional economy…

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra. I thought that some Members of the Opposition were trying to gazump me and ask my supplementary question, judging by the chuntering in the background. Minister, will you elaborate specifically on the progress that your Department has made in this period?
Mr Kearney asked the Minister of Finance, given that it is apparent that some sections of opinion, including colleagues in the Opposition, have adopted a wrecking-ball narrative when it comes to the Executive, as we mark the 2nd anniversary of their restoration, to assess the general progress that the power-sharing…
