I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I am pleased to have the opportunity to address the Assembly to mark International Women's Day, which falls on Saturday. The motion invites us to reflect on the contributions, leadership and lived experiences of women from across every part of our…
Yesterday, the House debated a motion in which Members could have called for support for the hard-pressed workers and families whom we all represent through greater representation in the EU; instead, political unionism made it about the need for increased defence spending and militarisation. This morning, the DUP is…

Illegal US and Israeli Attacks on Iran That this Assembly stands firmly behind international law and condemns the illegal US and Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of the United Nations Charter and international law; further condemns the human rights violations, lack of democracy and breaches of the Universal…
Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. As others from our party have outlined, we will support the motion and vote against the UUP amendment. For clarity for the previous contributor: Britain was demonised around the world long before it voted for Brexit; he should bear that in mind. Looking at the…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire shóisearach as ucht an fhreagra sin. I acknowledge the work of the First Minister and the deputy First Minister on engaging with victims' groups and progressing the historical institutional abuse (HIA) stone memorial. What lessons can be learned from the HIA process?
I commend Jill and the whole team at the Ponderosa Bar on the Glenshane Pass for an event that they are running this Friday night to raise funds for Suicide, Talking, Education Prevention and Support (STEPS), a mental health charity in my constituency. STEPS is a brilliant organisation born out of sadness. In 2012,…

Minister, we all remember the Lisneal College debacle last year, when money was allocated to that school without there being any evidence of clear objective need. Can you clarify whether evidence of clear objective need was factored into the latest round of funding via the programme?
Maidin mhaith daoibh. I take the opportunity this morning to pay tribute to a school in my constituency, which is very special and close to my heart, because it is the one that I attended: St Colm's High School in Ballinascreen. Many of you may have noticed the feature on 'BBC Newsline' last week on a fantastic pilot…

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chéad-Aire as a freagra.

To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) whether the terms of reference for the accelerated review, regarding the Criminal Bar Association's withdrawal of services, have been agreed; (ii) whether co-leads have been appointed; and (iii) the timeline for the completion of the review.
Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank the Member who proposed the motion today. We tabled the amendment not because we are completely opposed to a social media ban for under-16s in the long term but because we want to have a conversation and a debate about it. The Member referred to that in her…
Minister, following on from the Member for Upper Bann's question, there is concern across the board — the Committee had a discussion about this last week — about the impact that the situation is having on victims. None of us take that lightly. I am also concerned about the public discussions and conversations on the…
To ask the Minister of Justice (i) for her assessment of existing legislation governing death by suicides, where domestic abuse has been found to be a contributing factor; and (ii) whether she will carry out a review of whether a new criminal offence of domestic abuse-induced suicide should be created.
To ask the Minister of Justice for her assessment of developments in England and Wales, where Domestic Homicide Reviews have been strengthened and renamed as Domestic Abuse Related Death Review.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) the rationale as to why deaths by suicide were not included in the scope of Domestic Homicide Reviews, when first introduced in 2021; and (ii) whether she will expand the scope of Domestic Homicide Reviews to include suicide deaths, where there is evidence of domestic abuse.

As has been said by colleagues around the Chamber, we all have constituents who…
