  3. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    That comment is completely out of order. The Minister, my party and I have been firm on tackling domestic abuse. Paul Frew had amendments made to legislation. The Minister for Communities has taken significant steps to address issues that relate to victims of domestic abuse.

  6. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Bill sponsor for his contribution. There are a number of points on the back of that. I was also involved in proposals and the process around a Member's Bill, and I know that the correspondence and liaison with the Equality Commission and Human Rights Commission through that process is a tick-box exercise.…

  7. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am disappointed by the tone that has been set by the world according to Alliance. The Bill causes me great concern as an MLA, a private individual, a mother of teenagers and, quite frankly, in every capacity of my existence. I have received large volumes of correspondence on the matter…

  8. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Given the point that was just raised by Miss McAllister as a point of order and the comments that were made by Ms Bradshaw in the previous debate, I just think that some of the contributions from the Alliance MLAs, digging at us, calling me "devious" and trying to make inferences and misrepresent my colleague, are…

    Uncertain: close call Sexism, misogyny, ageism and other equality groups Criteria met: Identity framing, Controversy escalation.

  11. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank Mrs Erskine for giving way. To build on Mr Frew's point, the danger is not limited to what he says. Clause 6(1) states that it "includes" the terminology that Mr Frew quoted, so it goes beyond that. It could go further. Does the Member agree that, when we have "gender identity" referred to 10 times in the Bill…

  13. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Could you clarify your ruling on that point of order? From what you are saying, it sounds as though it was the tone that Ms Sheerin was launching across the Chamber that will be looked at.

  14. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Members for their interventions. It states, "as appear to the Department". I come back to my previous point: who is "the Department"? Is it a front-line member of staff, a senior civil servant or the Minister who is sitting in the role at that point? Why is it up to the Department for Infrastructure to…

    Flagged Flags, emblems, symbols, names and memorials Criteria met: Cultural grievance politics, Dog-whistle messaging, Controversy escalation.

  17. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I agree with him. That is exactly the point that I was making. You have listed all the bodies, but there is no mention not just of the Orange Order but of community groups, sporting organisations or anything else from any part of the community. There is no provision for community consultation to play an active part,…

  18. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for that, but she is misinterpreting the point. We should look at it from the wider perspective of the PSNI's role and the other issues involved. There were some serious crimes committed in my constituency over the weekend, and I have just come from a meeting of the all-party group (APG) on domestic…

  25. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for her intervention. I do not think that it is valid to cost the Bill on the basis of complaints. If you are to require a portal entry for every flag that is being put up or for every celebration and commemoration, there will be a lot more of those entries than the number that lead to complaints.
