  1. Member's statement: Low-carbon Solutions

    • Members' Statements

    The Climate Change Committee's recent report states that electric technologies will benefit Northern Ireland, which underscores the necessity for Northern Ireland to transition its homes to low-carbon solutions and aim for a 77% reduction in emissions from 1990 levels by 2042. In order to replace inefficient fossil…

  2. Debate contribution: State Pension Access: Terminally Ill People

    • Private Members' Business

    I rise today, as all others have done, in support of the campaign led by Marie Curie to grant early access to state pension for those who are terminally ill. It is a matter not just of policy but of dignity, fairness and compassion. Right now, the law does not recognise the cruel reality that terminally ill people…

  4. Debate contribution: Housebuilding on Public Land

    • Private Members' Business

    Minister, thank you for allowing me in. Is the Minister surprised that, when the Committee for Communities met Northern Ireland Water, it confirmed that housing was not part of its priorities? The only priority is clean water and the provision of it, and NIW has no intention of dealing with housing issues.

  5. Debate contribution: Housebuilding on Public Land

    • Private Members' Business

    We have a housing crisis in Northern Ireland. That means that more children, families and individuals are living in temporary accommodation — in homelessness — than ever before. The issue of building on public land in Northern Ireland is one of both opportunity and challenge. We know that demand for public housing,…

  6. Debate contribution: Hydrogen Innovation Strategy

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you to the DUP for tabling the motion. Hydrogen development in Northern Ireland is emerging as a pivotal element of the region's transition to a low-carbon economy. Such development utilises Northern Ireland's substantial renewable energy capacity, which is predominantly wind, and innovative applications of…

  7. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Water Budget Position 2024-25

    • Ministerial Statement

    Minister, if this were private business, somebody would lose their job. We all know that, as you said, you do not get enough money to fund Northern Ireland Water in the way that it wants. Public-sector budgetary rules constrain Northern Ireland Water's ability to access and utilise funding beyond that provided by the…

  8. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. Because I only have three minutes, I will speak really fast, and I will not take interventions. I start by saying that, when King Charles confirmed his Government and gave a commitment to clean energy transition, I did not see him salivating. I thought that that may be…

  9. Debate contribution: Section 10B Permits: Community Transport Operators

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you, Minister. Introducing section 19 and 22 permits would allow community transport to address the lack of transport in rural areas and increase the amount of accessible transport in rural areas. What is the barrier to bringing forward legislation that is used in the rest of the UK?

    To ask the Minister for Communities whether he will ensure a purpose built student accommodation regulation will be included in the development of private rented sector regulations to protect tenants, including enabling students to end a contract by giving one months' notice and to require building owners or a…

  11. Debate contribution: Irish Language Strategy

    • Private Members' Business

    I am fluent in Ulster Scots; I was very fortunate to grow up in an area in which Ullans is spake all the time. My grandmother was probably the most fluent Ulster-Scots speaker whom I have ever heard, and you didnae want to get on the wrang side of her. Today, we can all accept the historical, cultural and social…

  12. Debate contribution: Irish Language Strategy

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. During the session at the Committee for Communities last week, we heard from Conradh na Gaelige that the strategy was there and was almost ready; it just needed to be signed off. Does the Member agree with me, therefore, that the barriers to progress that are being put in place…

  13. Motion or amendment: Social Security Reform and Economic Inactivity

    • Motion · Private Members' Motion

    Social Security Reform and Economic Inactivity That this Assembly opposes the approach of the UK Government to reforming disability benefits; believes that withdrawing or cutting social security support for those most in need risks exacerbating poverty and increasing pressure on other public services; agrees that…
