  1. Debate contribution: Net Zero Policies: Cost-benefit Analysis

    • Private Members' Business

    I do not know what the Communities Minister is mumbling about, but I will give way to him in a second, if he wants to intervene. Let us be honest about what actually causes our crumbling roads and failing infrastructure. It is not climate targets but decades of chronic underinvestment, an over-reliance on private car…

  2. Debate contribution: Net Zero Policies: Cost-benefit Analysis

    • Private Members' Business

    I appreciate the Member's giving way. I think that she still sits on the Executive Office Committee. Is she also concerned that the deputy First Minister is blocking progress on a Climate Commissioner in the Executive?

  3. Debate contribution: Ending Violence against Women and Girls

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, given that an independent report found clear evidence of sexism and misogyny in the PSNI and that the report and its findings were accepted by the Chief Constable, how appropriate is it for that organisation to deal with violence against women and girls?

  4. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Does he agree that if it is said that a Bill is poorly drafted, it may not be the Member's fault and may be a case of the Minister or somebody else questioning the role and effectiveness of the drafters?

  5. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I appreciate the Minister's giving way. Minister, I will take you back slightly. You said that poverty is a "household problem". Do you agree with me and many others that it is a societal problem that requires political solutions rather than being just a household issue as such?

  6. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Leaving aside the very valid moral argument for the payment, does she agree that, if we do not invest in the likes of free school meals, we could see the financial costs at the end of the system? Other Members mentioned the justice system and people being forced to drop out of…

  7. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you for that. I have two young kids. One is at nursery. I had made notes on what to say later, but it makes sense to come to them now. Education and learning does not happen just in schools or just in term time. My son was sent tasks or homework — call it what you want — to do at home at Easter time. Many kids…

  8. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you for that, but I am none the wiser, to be honest. This is legislation. The parties to my right always decry people talking about Palestine, Venezuela or motions, but this is about legislation, and Members should vote on it.

  9. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I listened upstairs to the debate. If that is not how the remark was intended, I will retract, but it certainly sounded derogatory from my standpoint. Mr Brooks also stated that the Assembly is not a factory for nice ideas. What is it? What is the Assembly meant to do? It is clearly not legislating. Apart from today,…
