  1. Debate contribution: Gaza: Immediate Ceasefire

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. First, as others and I have said, the scale of what Israel has done in the past seven months goes way beyond any concept of defending oneself. The Member spoke about Israel existing. If he reads our motion, he will see that the text affirms support for a two-state solution, and…

  2. Debate contribution: Gaza: Immediate Ceasefire

    • Private Members' Business

    The Member has said a few things since I asked him to give way that I could respond to, but I appreciate his giving way. He is always open to debate. He said that everything had changed for Israel on 7 October. I acknowledged that 7 October was appalling and unjustifiable, but will he accept that the logic that he is…

    I beg to move In every generation, there come international events of such horror and such moral import that to remain silent is impossible.

  4. Debate contribution: RHI Inquiry: Implementation of Recommendations

    • Oral Answers to Questions

  5. Debate contribution: Lough Neagh

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, when Members, including those in your party, all voted for a Lough Neagh rescue plan motion some weeks ago, the most modest estimate of its cost was well north of £100 million of investment. It is disappointing to see parties repeatedly vote for motions but, when it comes to aligning —.

  6. Debate contribution: Inaugural East-West Council Meeting

    • Ministerial Statement

    On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. It would be good to get your advice on this matter. During proceedings, the deputy First Minister said, with, I am sure, the best intentions, that the 'Safeguarding the Union' paper was negotiated between the UK Government and Northern Ireland. I am sure that she…

  7. Debate contribution: Inaugural East-West Council Meeting

    • Ministerial Statement

    While no one would doubt the importance of discussing matters of common interest such as trade and cultural exchange, it is important to be clear that this is not an institution that was set up under the Good Friday Agreement. It has no statutory underpinning, so, as an Opposition, we are clear that it does not have…

  8. Member's statement: Migration

    • Members' Statements

    I want to talk today about a subject that, in one sense, we never stop talking about, but, when we talk about it, we should be careful with our language: the border on the island of Ireland. That is a border that many of us worked hard to ensure remained as open and as soft as possible in the years following Brexit. I…
