  1. Debate contribution: Integrated Schools: Fresh Start Funding

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, you said that you are left dealing with the consequences of the removal of the ring fence, but one of the consequences is not that the Executive have to remove money. It is really important to nail that myth. A ring fence being removed does not remove the money from those schools. That was a decision made by…

    • Executive Committee Business

    Does the Member agree that it is really important that, in talking about this, no one should be in any doubt that he is right that Chris Heaton-Harris and the UK Government imposed a punishment Budget? We know that we have had more than a decade of austerity, but the decision on the cuts to integrated education was…

  6. Debate contribution: Central Good Relations Fund

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Does the junior Minister agree that, notwithstanding all the good work and good relations that you mentioned, the Executive's decision not to put back the ring fence for integrated schools, effectively colluding with the UK Government to remove that funding from integrated schools, damages the good relations agenda?

  7. Debate contribution: Shared Future: Strategic Framework

    • Private Members' Business

    I and the SDLP will, of course, support today's motion, which I commend the Alliance Party for tabling. I will make a few points about the motion and on the broad theme of reconciliation and moving our society away from division. The work of ending division is core to my party. Mr Nesbitt mentioned our former leader.…

  8. Member's statement: Political Stability

    • Members' Statements

    I will touch on a broader political question and simply reflect on the events of the past 10 days. I do not mean the specific, clearly noteworthy and, to many people, shocking news developments — those are now a matter for the legal system, and it is important that none of us gets into speculation as, unfortunately,…

  9. Debate contribution: Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales: Cancer Diagnosis

    • Matter of the Day

    I pass on my thoughts and those of my party to the princess after the cancer diagnosis that has been made public in the last few weeks. It is, obviously, extremely difficult to be in the public eye in such a high-profile role and face the kind of speculation and lurid reporting that has happened over the last number…

    • Motion · Private Members' Motion

    Eradicating Fuel Poverty That this Assembly believes it is unacceptable that 290 people in Northern Ireland die each winter due to cold homes; accepts that the Warmer Healthier Homes Fuel Poverty Strategy is over a decade old and is no longer fit for purpose; calls on the Executive to include a clear target for…
