Thank you, Mr Speaker. Lough Neagh is one of our most precious natural resources and wildlife sites. It is the source of 40% of the North's drinking water. It is supposed to be protected under local, European and international law, but, in reality, Lough Neagh is a public health hazard and a toxic death zone for local…
I am in favour of the motion, and I thank the Members opposite for tabling it. Unfortunately, we are approaching two years of Israel committing genocide, despite people trying to say otherwise. It is a genocide in living colour, recorded and documented across social media and some mainstream outlets. You would have…
Minister, I will stand with you and everybody for Palestine. Saying it is a party dig is a bit of an insulting reply. It was a question about whether your Department had carried out an audit of whether Israeli war bonds go through the North. Yes or no?
The scheme is obviously a good idea, and I support its general aims, but, Minister, I am concerned about people who come forward. They will get their certificate, but they may be further traumatised, and there is a lack of support out there. I note that the Belfast Trust has only two bereavement midwives and only one…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank Members for their contributions. As we heard in the debate, one in five pupils has special educational needs. In the past decade, the number of children with a statement of SEN has increased by 85%, but, unfortunately, the funding has not increased to match that need. That is the…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I commend the Members of the Alliance Party who tabled the motion. I disagree with nothing in it, but it needs to be strengthened, hence the amendment in my name. I am happy to support the amendment in Mr Gaston's name. I am at a loss as to why the amendments are mutually exclusive, but…
