    • Motion · Private Members' Motion

  3. Debate contribution: Kingsmills Inquest

    • Matter of the Day

    The Kingsmills massacre of 5 January 1976 was truly appalling, sectarian murder. To be lined up, shot in the back and felled to the ground, some wounded, only for somebody to go along to shoot them in the head is unimaginable. It came on the day after the appalling murder of the members of the Reavey and O'Dowd…

  4. Debate contribution: Regulation (EU) 2023/2411: Applicability Motion

    • Private Members' Business

    The answer is yes, of course, I have, as has everyone else. Everyone who has read it is coming up with a different interpretation: 90 MLAs with different interpretations. That does not answer my question. My question is this: which subject matter experts and businesses have you spoken to about what the long-term…

  5. Debate contribution: Regulation (EU) 2023/2411: Applicability Motion

    • Private Members' Business

    I will raise two points. First, an applicability motion is different from an EU regulation on geographical indicators for craft and industrial products. I said that the regulation needed to be scrutinised, not the applicability motion. Secondly, please list the firms that you have spoken to and asked about the effect…

  6. Debate contribution: MLA-sponsored Events: Parliament Buildings

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you. I knew that the answer would be very much to the point. Will the Commission look at bids to run events that could not get cross-community support? If we do not want this place to be a cold house for certain groups, we need to look at other means of doing that. I will give a clear example: some military…

  7. Debate contribution: Tuition Fees

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you, Minister. That was not a challenge; it certainly is not my party's position of intent. I spoke to the vice chancellors of Ulster University and Queen's University Belfast, who are really concerned about the number of student places in Northern Ireland. We haemorrhage an awful lot of students overseas. Does…

  8. Debate contribution: Regulation (EU) 2023/2411: Applicability Motion

    • Private Members' Business

    I think that the Member has got me slightly wrong. There are 90 MLAs here. Every one of those 90 MLAs can look at this and take a view on how it works, but where is the in-depth scrutiny? With any other law that would apply to Northern Ireland, we would have people giving evidence to Committees to make sure that we…

  9. Debate contribution: Regulation (EU) 2023/2411: Applicability Motion

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you. The Member is absolutely right that this did not sneak up on us. The Ulster Unionist Party MLA Steve Aiken raised it on the Floor twice over two weeks. He also raised it with the Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee and TEO. The Member is, therefore, absolutely right that this did not sneak up on…

  10. Debate contribution: Regulation (EU) 2023/2411: Applicability Motion

    • Private Members' Business

    This debate on EU regulations on geographical indications for craft and industrial products had a starting point, and that starting point was Brexit, which was always going to be destabilising. It created customs posts in our ports, and it has created trade barriers. From that Brexit, we got the Northern Ireland…

  11. Written question AQW 9106/22-27

    • Department of Justice

    To ask the Minister of Justice (i) whether the new United Kingdom government definition of extremism will apply to the Northern Ireland justice system; (ii) for her assessment of the effect it will have in our separated prison regime; and (iii) for her assessment of how it will impact the work of the Probation Board.
