It is a big concern for many people when they look at their own job and at future-proofing it. Realistically, in all likelihood, AI will be able to do things in five or 10 years' time, and maybe in one year's time, that we cannot even imagine right now. There is an apprehension about that at times. I always think that…

As the Member will be aware, so much of what we do now is about collaborative design and co-production. We hear those buzzwords all the time, but they are important, because this is about including those who will use the strategy during the period and process of putting together the strategies and action plans. That…

Nor did I realise that question 7 had been withdrawn. That is why I requested permission for the questions to be grouped. Apologies. The Member is absolutely right. We have a timetable for phase 2 and phase 3. Phase 2 is now complete. As I am sure the Member is aware, a task and finish group has been established by…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Due to the seamless transition from the previous item of business into Oral Answers to Questions, I do not have the updated file.

Mr Speaker —. Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, with your permission, I will answer questions 3 and 7 together. The Office of AI and Digital, under the leadership of Professor Helen McCarthy, is preparing a comprehensive strategy for the ethical adoption of AI in the public sector. That is a collaborative effort, which…

I thank the Member for her important question because some of the important issues that have been highlighted in that case are common in too many other places as well. Of course, I welcome the fact that the report has now been shared. I welcome the commitment on action. I understand that, tomorrow, there will be a…

We recognise that sport plays a vital role in bringing people and communities together, and we welcome the report and its call for a series of reforms to ensure fairness and transparency in the sport. It is encouraging that the Equality Commission has recommended the establishment of an oversight panel to support the…

I thank the Member for her important question. Those schemes are so meaningful to so many people. They are long overdue. It is recognition of a wrong that was done in the past. That wrong was not done by anyone in this place — indeed, it was done by very few people, if any, in those institutions or organisations today…

I thank the Member for her question. As she is aware, we have included the Arts Council in taking the matter forward. That was a recommendation, as she knows, from the Hart report. It has been outstanding for such a long period because of the need to find as much consensus as possible on a matter that is both…

I am pleased to say that, as it is in its final stages, it is just a matter of ensuring that the final plaque is prepared for installation. The First Minister and I hope to be in a position to formally put up the plaque early in the new year.

Victims and survivors of historical institutional abuse (HIA) have endured unimaginable pain and suffering over many years.

I thank Members for their contributions to the debate. I do not intend to speak for very long, but I will touch on some common points that were made across a number of contributions. I welcome the fact that we heard from so many Members. I know that the nature of our legislative process in Northern Ireland is…

I thank the Member for giving way. It was remiss of me not to refer to the fact that the First Minister has a family emergency and asked me to step in and cover this item of business. We were to share it, with one opening the debate and the other winding it up. That is not the case due to her family circumstances.

I beg to move Thank you, Mr Speaker. We are pleased to present to the Assembly the Executive Committee's legislation programme for the 2025-26 session. On 3 October, the First Minister and I made a written ministerial statement to advise the Assembly of the legislation that Ministers of the Executive Committee intend…

It is important to take all matters into consideration. As I have said, I am a great believer in a range of options being available; indeed, if the legislation is not there to provide for those options, we should consider introducing it. At the moment, we have the Inquiries Act 2005, and public inquiries can be…

Often, as in this case, there are questions to be answered. It is important that, when we approach all the issues, we find the best way in which to get answers. From a personal and party perspective, I do not support holding an unlimited number of public inquiries. They are not necessarily the best way to get…

As I said, that approach is mainstreamed into Departments' policy development. One of our initiatives is to push forward better data analytics, particularly through the work that our Chief Scientific and Technology Adviser (CSTA) is driving. One thing that we have identified that could help policymaking is for us to…

I thank the Member for her important question. As she is aware, we take a life-cycle approach to all public services and, indeed, to most of our key priorities. There will be some that are less relevant than others, but I would argue that even the like of affordable childcare has a big impact on our older population,…

I reached out to the Somme Association about the recent vandalising of the house. The house still has a number of its original features, and those need to be protected. The house is not in a great state of repair and requires support to bring it back. It is a house with incredible history and heritage. It would be a…

To be brutally honest, once such agreements are made in which people make promises, the challenge is to make sure that they follow through with those promises. For example, a key issue in the Member's constituency that was included in NDNA and other agreements is Craigavon House. I want to see Craigavon House…

So many issues come into play in that. We often talk about being responsible in what we say and how we say it. That is said an awful lot, yet we see so many examples, particularly in relation to the Jewish community across the UK, not just of carelessness but of deliberate attempts to intimidate and create hostility…

I thank the Member for her question. It is timely and reminds us of the serious issues that we face, which do not include only those that I outlined regarding what we need to do about public services. There are serious issues that should be approached in a serious way, and this is one such issue. Like so many, I was…
