I declare an interest as a member of Unite the union. I reiterate the need to protect jobs at the site. Minister, can you expand on any conversations with the workers that have taken place to try to ensure that jobs at the site are not reliant on contracts from the MOD or the British Government but are connected to…
Will the Minister agree that economic class rather than religion is the determining factor in whether young people are regarded as a failure? The segregated education system has not helped either. Budget after budget after budget, cuts have meant that working-class people of all stripes have not had the education…
I oppose this change to Standing Orders. It is already difficult for smaller parties or independent voices to get a private Member's Bill completed or passed in the House. The proposal makes it more difficult for those to complete the process. Obviously, it limits the time during which people can introduce them. Let…
Thank you, Minister. Was there any discussion about expanding the Gaeltacht bursary scheme, especially given the budget surplus in the South and the Apple billions that are likely to come through? It is an important scheme, but I am concerned that, with the rapid increase in the number of Gaeilgeoirí , particularly in…
I commend the recent work of pro-Palestine activists across the country who have taken action to say that we should not normalise apartheid and genocide. In recent days, that action was targeted on the US company Red Hat, which has strong connections with the Israeli military and the Israeli occupation. Despite all…

I declare an interest as someone who tries to purchase music tickets when I can. Unfortunately, like the artists in front of me, I am forced to use Ticketmaster. For years, Ticketmaster has acted as a parasitic middle man, fleecing artists and fans alike while contributing absolutely nothing to the music industry.…
There is a growing call for a 1% tax on the wealthiest 1% in Britain to bring in £25 billion to plug the gap in public services. Did you or your officials raise such a point when you met the Treasury last week?
The truth is, Minister, that you buckled under Keir Starmer. You could have stood strong against him, but you failed to do that. You also failed to listen to the hundreds of thousands of people who will be impacted by that decision. Minister, what work have you, your officials and your Department carried out to work…
Stormont's decision on means testing means that hundreds of thousands of people will lose out. What work have the Minister and his officials completed in order to recognise the benefits of the universality of public services and of public supports such as the winter fuel payment?
Thank you, First Minister. I join you in remembering those who have been killed by partners or ex-partners. Intimidation points are still not awarded to women who are harassed by current or ex-partners. I am keen to hear how the strategy will work in respect of that problem. The £3 million does not seem a lot, given…
