Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. The motion is indeed timely, and debating it is exactly what our constituents and communities want to see us doing, which is deal with practical issues that have an impact on them, with less drama and more delivery for the people of Northern Ireland. The motion is very important. Before I…
I was on 'The Nolan Show' last week with the First Minister's former colleague Francie Molloy. He said that anyone with information about republican atrocities such as the Enniskillen bomb should give it to the police for them to undertake a criminal investigation. Does the First Minister believe that anyone with…

To ask the Minister for Communities for his assessment of the benefits of the Partnership Panel, which facilitates meetings between Ministers and councillors.
I was not present for the evidence sessions or the scrutiny as the Bill went through Committee Stage, but, I know, from what I have heard since, that all the members of the Committee are sincere and passionate about doing what they believe is right for children and parents. That common purpose is refreshing. Not…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am concerned that the Justice Minister may have misled the Chamber in her answer to questions about Bailey the dog: specifically, that prison officers are and were trained in the deployment of emotional support dogs, including Bailey; and, secondly, that a suitability…
Does the Minister not have any concern that, after 20 years of putting dogs in prisons, there is no legislation; no definition of what an emotional support dog is; no pre-suitability assessment was done of that particular dog; and there is a made-up policy of putting a pet dog in prison without any safeguards? That…
The best place for the people of Northern Ireland is within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for our peace, prosperity, safety and security. That is something that the people of Northern Ireland need to hear more. Members may have watched the recent BBC 'Panorama' programme that reported on how…

My…
