Thank you, Deputy Speaker. The Ulster Unionist Party believes that the Irish and Ulster-Scots languages and cultures should be respected, promoted, funded and cherished. They are as much ours as they are anyone else's. I remember attending a Turas awards event with Linda Ervine a while back and handing out awards to…

Does she believe that there should be a minimum standard of delivery for the Criminal Bar Association going forward, once we…
As we hurtle towards St Patrick's Day, I am reminded of how that day drags together into one my sense of Irishness, my sense of Britishness and my military history.
