Mr Jonathan Buckley: Assembly records
All of Mr Jonathan Buckley’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Reiterating Unconditional Support for the Rule of Law That this Assembly believes support for upholding the rule of law is essential to maintaining stability and confidence in the devolved institutions; deplores the actions of those elected representatives who participated in, encouraged, or directed the recent…
Thank you, Mr Speaker. When preparing for the debate, my first question was whether the confidence of our communities in Andrew Muir as Agriculture Minister for Northern Ireland could sink any lower. That was what my mind focused on this morning, but the Alliance Party never fails to surprise us. This has been one of…
Does the Member agree that the purpose of the motion was to demonstrate collective frustration at the Minister's performance, not to set one community against another? It was a demonstration of frustration at a lack of empathy and delivery for our rural constituents.
I thank the Member for giving way. Naomi Long mischaracterised a lot during her contribution. Notably, the motion was signed by 27 Members of the House, not by a singular party. Does the Member agree that, despite her talking about getting back to work, it is notable that Naomi Long has the lowest voting record of any…
Yesterday, in the House, we talked about the vile sectarian abuse that was being pushed on to the people of my constituency by Sinn Féin. Whilst there was, rightly, much focus on that topic, one thing that was really apparent was the lack of response from the First Minister and her party colleagues to what can only be…
Exclusion of the First Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that the First Minister no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly because, by participating in the unlawful protest on the Garvaghy…
Exclusion of the Minister for the Economy from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that the Minister for the Economy no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly because, by participating in the unlawful…
Exclusion of the Minister of Finance from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that the Minister of Finance no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly because, by participating in the unlawful protest on the…
Exclusion of the Minister for Infrastructure from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that the Minister for Infrastructure, no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly because, by participating in the…
This past week, Sinn Féin has subjected my constituents to blatant sectarianism, lawlessness and intimidation. First Minister, as we speak, the Court of Appeal is awaiting a judgement on a challenge brought by the Garvaghy Road residents to the decision on the Drumcree parade. As First Minister, will you accept and…
It is time that the House heard some facts. The scenes on the Garvaghy Road over the past week have been a blatant and triumphalist attempt to ramp up tensions in my home town of Portadown. Sinn Féin's act of supremacy and harassment, whereby it recklessly brought thousands of activists on to the streets of Portadown…
The Parades Commission made a lawful determination, permitting 35 members of Portadown District LOL No 1 to return peacefully and silently from their church parade, via the Garvaghy Road, after 28 years. That ruling was upheld by the courts, and it must be respected. For 28 years, Sinn Féin and others told Portadown…
I will add to the point that was mentioned about those who detransition. Clause 1(3) says clearly: "It is not a defence that the victim consented to the therapy." Therefore, if those who want to detransition were to employ some form of therapy, such as talking therapy, conversation or coaching, the fact that they have…
I thank the Member for giving way. That is exactly where we were going with this, before there was that bit of drama. We were getting to the question of what defines "chilling effect". What we mean by that is genuine concerns relating to normal, everyday activity in a family home. My colleague Deborah Erskine outlined…
I request that her comments to the top Table tonight are reviewed by the Speaker's Office. It was highly inappropriate for her to approach the Table during the debate to make her personal political view known, given that we know that she is an activist on the matter.
