  1. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. We have just had it confirmed by the Chief Constable in the Great Hall of this very Building that the individual who was involved in the barbaric attack in north Belfast entered Northern Ireland from Dublin on 10 February 2023. Nine months later, he tried to claim asylum in…

  2. Debate contribution: Serious Stabbing in North Belfast

    • Matter of the Day

    This morning, we woke to one of the most graphic and sickening videos imaginable. The violence on display in north Belfast was utterly reprehensible: a man pinned helplessly to the ground while being brutally stabbed and slashed in live time on a street in Belfast. The sheer savagery of the attack should never be…

    Flagged Immigration, asylum, race, ethnicity and Travellers Criteria met: Identity framing, Sectarian or communal antagonism, Dog-whistle messaging.

  3. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. He referred to Lord Morrow's pioneering Bill of 10 years ago. In light of some of the comments that have been made, particularly those by the Member for South Belfast and the Member for North Belfast, and given the constantly evolving picture with AI and the internet, does the Member…

  4. Debate contribution: Assembly Business

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Under Standing Orders, Deputy Speakers must act with impartiality and fairness when occupying the Chair. Earlier today, the Principal Deputy Speaker, Carál Ní Chuilín, appeared to allude to some Members' contributions as being "obnoxious". That falls far short of the impartiality that…

  5. Member's statement: Scarva Protest

    • Members' Statements

    Over the past two days, we have seen political spin and opportunism go into overdrive. We have had elected representatives in the Chamber and beyond talk about Scarva who could not even spell the word. They talked about policing operations while they sat on their sofas, scrolling through social media. Meanwhile, there…

    Flagged Sectarianism, hate crime and community relations Criteria met: Identity framing, Cultural grievance politics, Dog-whistle messaging.

  6. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. That was a key concern for me when I read the Bill. Does the Member agree that many victims across Northern Ireland would look on with concern if the fingerprints or other biometric details of individuals who were potentially connected to the murder of their loved ones were removed?

  7. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for giving way. Does he agree that Mr Sheehan is entitled to his own opinion but certainly not to his own facts on the matter? Minister, do you find it interesting that, when you returned to the core issue in the Bill, which is child safeguarding, and outlined clearly your intent to safeguard…

  8. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for giving way. He sets out a detailed timeline of legitimate conversation, discussion and compromise with Executive colleagues, which is the right thing to do. Will he agree that it is of significant worry that it appears that the Sinn Féin First Minister and her Executive team seem to have…

  9. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I recognise her point about workload. A lot of complex issues increasingly fall to teachers, who then have to manage them on top of their already busy workload. But if the principle is reducing risk — in theory, inspection should reduce risk, particularly safeguarding risk — has the…

  10. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you to the Member for giving way. I find Mr McCrossan's comments about rushed pieces of legislation that have been a disaster interesting, when the SDLP itself voted for those particular pieces of legislation.

    Not flagged

  11. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. When it comes to the conduct of debate, I find that language to be totally inappropriate anywhere, never mind on the Floor of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
