I am pleased to speak in this Adjournment debate and congratulate Joanne Bunting for securing today's debate. It is a vital subject. I do not represent East Belfast, but I do represent South Belfast, which is right next door to the boundary. In fact, the campus is very close to the boundary of South and East Belfast,…

I thank the Minister for giving way. I cut across her in mid-sentence there, which was a bit rude of me. Is the Minister suggesting that it may be possible to include a provision on no-fault divorce in the law that is being prepared on marital changes, including reducing the age limit — sorry; increasing the age…

I appreciate the Member giving way. Given that people, often in tragic circumstances, are more likely to engage with divorce law in their lives than they are to be directly affected by — just to pick something at random — the regulation of goods moving across the Irish Sea, does he think it is more of a problem for…

The SDLP will support the motion, and I welcome the fact that it has been tabled. I look forward hopefully, in the Minister's summing up, to hearing about specific intent to legislate on no-fault divorce during this mandate. The motion is right to acknowledge that divorce is a difficult, often traumatic, process for…

I strongly support the Test match coming. As someone who enjoys bowling fast balls at the Minister, I am glad to see that he is open to that. Does he agree, further to the question from his colleague Brian Kingston, that the biggest potential sporting event that would ever come to Northern Ireland is the European…

— are where they are, but I ask the Minister to look creatively at other sources of funding, such as the Shared Island Fund or financial transactions capital.

Assessment details for Debate contribution: ‘Investing in Creative Delivery’: Progress Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: ‘Investing in Creative Delivery’: Progress
Minister, we often spend time in the Chamber comparing ourselves to down South or across the water. One area where there is no comparison is in arts funding. We spend less than half of what Wales spends, which is the lowest spender in the rest of the UK. We spend a fifth of what the Republic of Ireland spends on arts,…

Thank you, Minister. Of course, we know that we have lost two years, but it is true to say that officials in your Department have been working on this since 2020, so it is not new to them. You were clear, some years ago, that we needed a stand-alone hate crime Bill. Last week, it was called the "victims and crime…

Minister, I acknowledge that there is real constraint on your and every other Department's budget. That is obvious.

Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. Apologies for cutting across you there.

Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Justice to state whether she agrees that we need a stand-alone hate crime Bill, in light of the fact that hate crime is clearly not going away — quite the opposite — with shocking examples of hate crime across the island, and to outline what has changed in her assertion that we need a…
