  1. Debate contribution: Policing Resources

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Policing is an increasingly complex issue, and we ask more and more of our police force every year with less and less resource. It has been a good and robust debate, and it is right that we have a robust debate. This has certainly not been theatre. I disagree with the…

  5. Debate contribution: Budget (No. 2) Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I give my contribution from the Back Bench only because it is more comfortable back here and for no other reason, in case anybody thinks otherwise. It has been a good debate. Members have expressed their opinions and concerns, and they have done it well. I noticed that they have pointed out all the problems that we…

  6. Debate contribution: All-Ireland Tourism

    • Opposition Business

    I will start by apologising for missing topical questions to the Minister for Communities. My timing was just pretty shoddy. The motion and the DUP's amendment No 1 are good, and I have no issue with Sinn Féin's amendment No 2 either. The debate brings me back to my childhood, when I used to holiday on the lakes in…

  7. Debate contribution: Police Ombudsman's Office: Operational Capacity

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    I thank the Minister for her answer. I am sure that we can all agree that the Police Ombudsman is a critical role, and we want to make sure that we safeguard the position. Was a risk assessment conducted of whether the ombudsman should exercise the powers of her office while apparently under criminal investigation? If…

  8. Debate contribution: Prisons 25by25: Update

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Prisons 25by25 programme is important. You are absolutely right that one of the key issues is our people. Minister, are new prison officer recruits security-cleared before they have access to PRISM (the Prison Service management information system) on the landings?

  9. Urgent oral question: Police Ombudsman's Office: Operational Capacity

    • Urgent Oral Question

    Police Ombudsman's Office: Operational Capacity To ask the Minster of Justice for an update on the operational capacity of the Police Ombudsman’s office following reports that the Ombudsman is on extended absence due to illness.

  10. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices

    • Opposition Business

    "I am a straight man. I was born straight, and there is no fix or cure for me or any therapy that will make me a gay man. Why on earth therefore would we say that a gay man was not born that way? Why would we say that a gay man can be fixed or cured? Why would we say that there is a therapy to change a gay man into a…

  11. Debate contribution: Hate Crime Legislation in Northern Ireland

    • Opposition Business

    I thank the Member for his intervention. He is right: it absolutely does. The point that I was going to make later is that we cannot rush into this, because we really have to stop and consider it. In truth, I would not want some form of legislation to be rushed through just to placate certain people, only for us to…

  12. Debate contribution: Hate Crime Legislation in Northern Ireland

    • Opposition Business

    Yes. That is the reality of life in many ways, and we have to be careful not to be offended by some things and not to try to make the law be able to protect absolutely everything. The Marrinan report is really far-reaching. It contains 34 recommendations, and I will tell you now that we could spend two hours just…

  13. Debate contribution: Hate Crime Legislation in Northern Ireland

    • Opposition Business

    I will be quite brief. It is a really good motion, but it is just so massive, in truth. It is certainly worthy of debate, because nobody should promote hate of any kind, regardless of whether that is due to religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, race or age. Neither should hate be tolerated in isolating people…

  14. Member's statement: D-Day: Royal Ulster Rifles

    • Members' Statements

    Eighty years ago today, ships were gathering to create the largest armada that the world has ever known. The ships were loaded with men and materiel, and, throughout the United Kingdom, people were doing their final rehearsals for the invasion of Normandy. I am wearing the regimental tie of the Royal Irish Regiment,…
