  3. Debate contribution: Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs

    • Private Members' Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. You have clearly set out your expectations of Ministers who appear before the House. Did Minister Muir agreed to respond to this debate? What would be your ruling on a Minister who refused to attend or walked out of a debate? As Ministers, can we now pick and choose which debates we…

    — we see exactly what they are like. We see clearly, more than anything else, their hatred and their intolerance; that has shone through more than anything else. Again, they are speaking about the rights of only one community. Here is the thing: Protestants and unionists have rights as well. Protestants and unionists…

  12. Debate contribution: Garvaghy Road: Re-traumatisation

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Every time I hear Ms Sheerin, I am reminded of Shakespeare: "sound and fury, Signifying nothing". It is not her job to moderate these debates. The Member talks about social inclusion and the impact on the Garvaghy Road. Why was a school closed this week? A school had to be closed because of her party's actions in…

  13. Debate contribution: Garvaghy Road: Re-traumatisation

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Minister will be heard, Mr Speaker, because I speak not only for myself but on behalf of hundreds of thousands of people across Northern Ireland who believe in the rule of law — who believe that the law should be obeyed and followed, and that Executive Ministers have no right whatsoever to stand in the way of that…

  17. Debate contribution: First Minister: Unlawful Actions

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Of course, I do. When I woke up this morning, I did not think, "Will I go into the Chamber to answer questions today?". I came here because it is my duty and responsibility. Sometimes, Members ask me questions that are irrational and irrelevant. Sometimes, the questions are silly. Sometimes, they are downright dopey —…

  18. Debate contribution: First Minister: Unlawful Actions

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Member says that I did not accept the report. No, I did not agree with the then commissioner's report, because it was full of speculation. She put in a retrospective subjective empathy test and over-interpreted neutral language, and the report was full of internal contradictions, evidential thinness and hindsight…

  19. Debate contribution: First Minister: Unlawful Actions

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Let me be clear: the First Minister is not above the law. Furthermore, she should be coming to the House to answer questions. First and foremost, I was acting in my role as an MLA, but I accept that the ministerial code applies at all times. That is why I came to the House and answered questions. I did not shy away…

  20. Debate contribution: Communities Papers: Executive Blockage

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I do. There are things that we are not allowing to progress out of the Executive. The reason that we do not want them to is that we believe that they would be harmful to the people of Northern Ireland. Take the so-called good jobs Bill, for example. We share the view of every business organisation in Northern Ireland…

    The First Minister is blocking the fraud and error parity Bill to keep us in line with the rest of the UK. If that is not agreed, there could be financial penalties. The First Minister is blocking the fraud and error paper that would help us to retain more of the savings that we make by cracking down on fraud and…

    First, I reiterate that, if the Government are serious, there is something that they can do that is very simple and straightforward, and I hope that everyone will agree that that is what should happen in the first instance. A considerable amount of learning has come from the process that we have put in place. If there…

    First, I acknowledge the fact that it took some time to put the scheme together. It is because those are issues that, primarily, do not lie with the Department. We took the scheme on, we put it together and we delivered it. I said at the time that it was going to take a long time for this to materialise. We did not…
