To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any steps she is taking to address the impact of repeated trial adjournments on victims of domestic and sexual violence
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for someone to misgender a presenter at our Committee in the Chamber and follow that up by saying that they accept that trans people should not be abused?
I thank the Member for giving way. The Member sat in the same presentation as I did this morning, so he is aware of the detail that I reflected on with regard to the rise in transphobic hate crime in this part of the world. Does the Member acknowledge that the language that we use here can have an impact there? That…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. As party colleagues have done, I support the Bill. At the outset, I thank the Bill sponsor for the work that he has done to bring his Bill before the House. It is a careful, considered piece of legislation. It is well drafted and has obviously been well thought out. I…
Minister, I commend you on the work that you have done around safety, particularly for young people and children attending school. The work that you have done in response to the death of one of my constituents on the road has been greatly appreciated in my local area. What specific action are you taking around safety…
I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, you have been clear in your view that no one in the Department is responsible for what has happened. Such cases are delicate, and we have to ensure that the rights of everyone involved are protected. Our thoughts are with the Kelly family, given the re-traumatising…
To ask the Minister of Justice whether an individual, who has faced a trial of the facts and makes a full health recovery, can participate in a later criminal trial.
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline any engagement he has had with the representatives of the night-time economy, given that he has not brought forward legislation arising from the Independent Review of the Liquor Licensing System in Northern Ireland including the Surrender Principle.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail when she will publish the terms of reference for the joint review of the legal framework governing trials of the facts.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any existing arrangements for cases in magistrates' and youth courts, where a defendant lacks fitness to plead.
To ask the Minister of Justice (i) whether any assessment has been made of Chapter 6 of the Mental Capacity Act (Northern Ireland) 2016; and (ii) whether the provisions of the Act, relevant to determining fitness to stand trial, will be included in the terms of reference for the joint review of the legal framework for…
To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made of Part 10, Chapter 6 of the Mental Capacity Act (Northern Ireland) 2016, including (i) any reasons why Chapter 6 has not yet been commenced; and (ii) any timeframe for commencement.
I appreciate the Member's being so generous with his time. I am not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, but I am proud to say that I am an ally, so I know how that community feels about your party. You have proven it time and again. In an attempt to trivialise a conversation between a child and their parent about their…
I thank the Member for giving way. He referred again to whether or not parents want to be in court, and, of course, they do not. However, I would argue that we would like to see a society where, when a parent is told by their son or daughter that they are questioning their sexuality or think that they might be gay, or…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The Principal Deputy Speaker gave guidance on the fact that gender identity is not to be discussed in terms of this legislation. This is — Continue sneering, jeering and showing yourselves up as the bigots you are if you want to, but this is not what we are discussing here.
I appreciate what you are saying about practicalities, and I would understand it if those practicalities were the concern, but none of that is of concern if nobody wants to suppress or change someone's gender identity. Only if it is your intention to change a person's sexuality or gender identity would this come into…
I thank the Member for giving way. I appreciate that she is trying to give some sense of the practical realities of what she sees as dangers to parenting. I am not a parent, and I have a degree of sympathy for somebody who is trying to parent teenagers. However, she is talking in generalisations. The Bill criminalises…
I thank the Minister for the detail that she has provided, which, as has been said, was not available to the public this morning. How soon after the incident were the murder victim's family contacted and told about the situation, and what is the Department doing to reassure them?
