  2. Debate contribution: Bonfire Regulation

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I cannot comment on the lack of comment from anyone else. However, the Member will be aware — his councillor colleagues who sit on the council's bonfire working group certainly will be — that there had been an agreement in place not to make any public comment on the bonfire in the…

  3. Debate contribution: Bonfire Regulation

    • Private Members' Business

    A decade ago, during my time as Environment Minister, I tried hard to bring forward licensing proposals to deal with bonfires. It was about striking a balance, protecting communities from the very real dangers of these fires while respecting the cultural significance that they still obviously hold. I stand over that…

  4. Debate contribution: Water, Sustainable Drainage and Flood Management Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you, Minister, for giving way. Apologies for intervening in the middle of your winding-up speech. I have just vacated my seat on the Committee.

  6. Debate contribution: Special Educational Needs: Capital Investment

    • Ministerial Statements

    I thank the Minister for his statement. Minister, you cite a staggering rise in demand for SEN provision. The current statistics and the projected need are eye-watering. The fact that there are children and families behind those statistics is heartbreaking. Why has your Department — I am not blaming you — been caught…

  7. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Football Fund: Performance Programme

    • Ministerial Statement

    As a seasoned ticket holder, I am very disappointed for Derry City. As a Foyle MLA and a football fan, I am devastated for Institute. Will the Minister publish in full the options and all advice and recommendations that he received from his officials before he made the decision about how many projects to take forward…

  8. Debate contribution: Psychiatrist Shortage: Western Trust

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer. Earlier, he mentioned health inequalities. Although poor mental health does not discriminate, it is much more prevalent in areas of high deprivation. Does the Minister recognise the dire need for the Western Trust, where there are the fewest psychiatrists, to receive funding to…

  9. Member's statement: Northern Ireland Football Fund: North-west Clubs

    • Members' Statements

    There is a lot of disappointment and anger, although not a lot of surprise, across the football fraternity and beyond in the north-west at the Communities Minister's announcement last week on the Northern Ireland Football Fund. The decision not to fund Derry City Football Club and Institute Football Club has caused…
