  3. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you. You have just made the argument for exactly what my colleague said, which is that there is a risk if we give that responsibility and potential veto to the Executive. When it is with an individual Minister, at least that Minister can be held accountable. You know, however — you will have seen it many times…

  4. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Success in mid-Ulster has been in spite of central government, not because its assistance. That is why I had to say repeatedly to Diane Dodds, when she was Minister, that it felt like Groundhog Day because I was repeatedly asking for support for those engineering…

  5. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. I very much identify with much of what he has said. I recall saying to the former Economy Minister Diane Dodds that it felt like Groundhog Day because every time that I spoke about Mid Ulster, I talked about its having the highest number of VAT-rated businesses outside…

    • Executive Committee Business

    I begin by offering the apologies of my colleague Carál Ní Chuilín, who cannot be here today owing to ill health. Carál has been very much invested in the work on the legislation. The Bill is very important to her, given the work that she does in the Assembly and the people with whom she has personally worked and…

  8. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Inland Waterways

    • Ministerial Statement

    A Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I apologise for not being in the House from the beginning of the statement and thank you for your latitude on that. Thank you, Minister.

  9. Debate contribution: Social Workers: Safeguarding, Early Intervention and Family Support

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I concur with all that was said by Sian Mulholland. It is complex and challenging, and social workers are dealing with many more cases than they should. There also cases that are unassigned, however, and there are safeguarding issues there. What reassurance can you give us, Minister, given the issues raised in the…

  10. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Disabled Toilets

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you for that answer. Has the Commission made any assessment of whether the current facilities deter people with disabilities from attending Parliament Buildings? We have accessible bathrooms, but it would be a struggle for me, as an able-bodied person, to reach the toilet roll dispenser in the disabled bathroom…

  11. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Civil Service: Agency Workers

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for mentioning the fact that there will be recruitment processes for permanent posts.

Have you had conversations with Ministers about setting targets for the recruitment of permanent staff,…

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. On his previous comment about the Member for Lagan Valley being honest when others maybe were not, I would also like to make sure that the record is very clear on this. The tone of the debate has been really good, and I very much acknowledge that your intent in your…

  14. Debate contribution: Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill: Further Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for taking an intervention. I take into account everything that she has outlined and totally understand where she is coming from, but will she agree that just because the state failed to acknowledge those women and their children, just like it failed to look after them, that does not mean that…

  15. Debate contribution: Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill: Further Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank everybody who spoke in the debate tonight. I really welcome the fact that Mr Brett has confirmed that there will be no Division. That shows that the empathy and emotion that I talked about is absolutely there. I think that we all feel it. You cannot fail to feel it when you have listened to what affected women…

  16. Debate contribution: Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill: Further Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for taking an intervention. A Member talked about our having to stick to facts and removing emotion from the debate. I absolutely agree that we need the Bill to be good legislation that will stand up and deliver for people, but we absolutely should not remove emotion from the debate. The lack of…

  17. Debate contribution: In Vitro Fertilisation Equality

    • Opposition Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does the Member agree, as so many have already said here today, that it is not good enough that we are not only lagging behind here in the North but are, we know, underfunded? If the Minister makes this a priority, we may have an opportunity with the new Prime Minister,…

  18. Debate contribution: In Vitro Fertilisation Equality

    • Opposition Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. The Member mentioned that some people have spent thousands of pounds on treatment. Will the Member agree that some people simply do not have the money? I was in that position, and I was entitled to one cycle of IVF, and I had my miracle baby. Had I not got pregnant or not…

    With your indulgence, a Cheann Comhairle, I use the opportunity to pay tribute to Geraldine O'Hagan, who was one of the staff members to whom the Minister refers in his statement who paid a high price.
