  1. Debate contribution: Police Officers: Numbers

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The police are obviously under immense pressure. In South Down, we face some very specific problems relating to the wide area that the constituency covers and the rural nature of our policing. Does the Minister have any indication of any specific areas of Northern Ireland in which there is a particular shortage of…

  2. Debate contribution: Special Educational Needs Provision: South Down

    • Adjournment

    I thank the Member for securing this evening's Adjournment debate. She and I know all too well that public services across the board in South Down have fallen far behind those in other areas. I welcome every opportunity to make the case for why the constituency that I represent and call "home" deserves better, and…

  3. Debate contribution: Insurance Costs: Reductions for Workers, Families and Businesses

    • Private Members' Business

    I will first say that my party supports the motion. We are all aware that insurance premiums have been increasing on our cars, homes and even pets. That is putting additional pressure on hard-pressed working families. The Republic of Ireland is having similar problems, with an enormous 10% increase in private health…

  4. Debate contribution: The Rates (Exemption for Automatic Telling Machines in Rural Areas) Order (Northern Ireland) 2024

    • Executive Committee Business

    We welcome the rates exemption for ATMs in designated rural areas. I take the opportunity to raise awareness of the exemption to encourage more providers to consider operating ATMs in rural areas such as South Down, where I live and which I represent. Access to cash is a huge concern for people across Northern…

  5. Debate contribution: Rates (Temporary Rebate) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 2024

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for her prompt action in bringing this to the House. We welcome the reinstatement of the Back in Business rate support scheme. The scheme was created to incentivise business ratepayers to consider empty retail premises when looking for a business property, and it allows any new business that is…

  6. Debate contribution: Rent and Housing Initiatives: Financial Transactions Capital

    • Ministerial Statements

    I thank the Minister for his statement. It is excellent to see him continuing to deliver on his commitment to help working families in Northern Ireland. Has this model of housing been tested before? Do the Minister know how it will work here?

  7. Debate contribution: VAT for Hospitality

    • Opposition Business

    The DUP fully recognises the importance of the local hospitality sector, including its importance in realising Northern Ireland's tourism potential and boosting the high-street economy. Hospitality is the fourth-largest private sector employer, with some 57,000 jobs in accommodation and food services alone. My party…

  8. Debate contribution: Voluntary and Community Sector

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The UK's Shared Prosperity Fund is due to end in March 2025, and a huge number of organisations in the sector are due to place staff on protective notice from December 2024, if no clarity is sought for them. Will the deputy First Minister outline any steps already taken or planned by the Executive Office to secure the…

  9. Member's statement: Kilkeel Hockey Club: Recent Success

    • Members' Statements

    I put on record my huge congratulations to Kilkeel Hockey Club on its incredible success at the weekend. Kilkeel Hockey Club made history on Saturday when its ladies' and men's first teams played in the Irish Hockey Challenge final and the Irish Hockey Trophy final respectively at Lisnagarvey. The ladies' team played…
