Thanks very much. I thank the Member who proposed the motion for raising this important issue. There is no doubt that advances in technology can be a driver for positive change in many aspects of our lives, from health and education to communications, but we must be alert to the dangers and the intended and unintended…
The research highlights the differential hospitality VAT rates in the North and South. Would you support a reduction in the North's VAT rate on hospitality?
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Tackling the Impact of Online Harms on Young People (Revised Wording)”

Last week, Yvette Cooper announced police vetting reforms to boost officer standards and improve confidence in policing around issues of misconduct and sexual offences, for example. Is the Minister minded to look at the vetting procedures here?
International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia That this Assembly recognises the important and positive contribution LGBTQIA+ people make at all levels of our society and across our communities; further recognises that everyone has a right to live free from violence, persecution, discrimination and…
I thank the Minister for bringing to the House the Second Stage of this important Bill, which will see the enabling of a baby loss scheme and the production of a certificate to recognise loss prior to 24 weeks. As has been said by other Members, this is an important issue. It is welcome that we are discussing it here…
Thanks very much for your answer, Minister. What benefits will those city and growth deals deliver? Will they complement the Programme for Government and the Budget that you announced earlier today?
Thank you, Minister, for this important statement. You mentioned the allocation to Lough Neagh. How does that reflect the Executive's commitment to dealing with the important issues pertaining to Lough Neagh and how those are being prioritised in the Budget?
I am coning in on electronic monitoring. As you said, it was part of the transformation bid. The Department has recently given a new contract to Buddi to look at monitoring across the board, and it was said that funding was the issue with electronic GPS. Can you confirm whether there is now a timeline with the new…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to provide an update on work for a permanent memorial to victims and survivors, as recommended by the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry report.
Today's motion is important, and I thank the Members for tabling it. I, too, recognise the work of Sandra Larmour in the aftermath of losing her daughter, Jeni, in highlighting the important issue and the impact that drugs have on the user, their family and the wider community. I also take this opportunity to thank…
It is a bit concerning that the issue and the thrust of the statement are like a war of attrition. We are keen to see the reform programme progress. It was good when it was brought in a couple of months ago. You touched on a derogation, Minister, and one case having been refused. My understanding is that there is an…
The Minister and I see today's announcement as a positive step, because, as the Minister said, we are allocating £129 million of additional money to our public services to transform them, which is important. In that context, what are the benefits of the new approach to the allocation of transformation funds, and how…
I thank the First Minister and deputy First Minister for tabling the motion. The publication of the Executive's Programme for Government is a welcome step. It represents a commitment by the four-party Executive to work together in the interests of everyone in our society. We are all too aware that we are working…
International Women’s Day 2025 That this Assembly welcomes the theme of Accelerate Action for International Women’s Day 2025; recognises that focusing on the need to accelerate action emphasises the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality; and supports increased momentum and urgency in…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the appointment of a Chair and Board Members to the Victims and Survivors Service.
I welcome this important conversation. As with our daytime economy, we need to look at the issues in terms of the wider regeneration of our city centre in order to unlock its full potential at night-time and throughout the day. We all want a safe, connected, inclusive and vibrant city centre in which people can live,…
I welcome the fact that you are meeting the associations tomorrow, Minister, on legal aid. You said that a 16% uplift will be provided. Will you give the detail on when?
