  3. Debate contribution: Assembly Conventions

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I am afraid that I do think that that is a particularly acceptable answer. I will write once again to the First Minister and the deputy First Minister about that. You have been talking about vital issues such as international relations, victims' payments and economic opportunities. Why, deputy First Minister, will you…

  4. Debate contribution: Programme for Government: Multi-year Budget

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you, deputy First Minister. Acknowledging that a multi-year Budget will not come from the UK Government yet, is it the Executive's position that there will not be a multi-year Budget allied to a Programme for Government when it is published?

  5. Debate contribution: Executive Reform

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you very much for that warning, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. First, I thank all the Members who have participated in the debate. It was a wide-ranging debate, and I will touch on as many key points as I can. People will not be surprised by anything they heard from any side of the Chamber. I welcome the fact…

  6. Debate contribution: Executive Reform

    • Opposition Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I agree with her, and I will talk in my winding-up speech about designation being something that we need to have a conversation about. Does she agree, though, that in the short term, given that there are things as well as designation, such as how North/South and east-west works, we…

  7. Debate contribution: Executive Reform

    • Opposition Business

    I beg to move I am pleased to open the debate on the first Opposition day of the new mandate. Opposition is a natural and healthy part of democratic politics, and we intend to perform that role constructively, as we have thus far. During the negotiations that led to the creation of the institutions, Senator George…

  8. Member's statement: Down GAA: Dan McCartan

    • Members' Statements

    I pay tribute to a giant of Down GAA, Dan McCartan, who passed away over the weekend. He and his brother were part of the heroic generation of Down footballers who won the All-Ireland in 1960 and brought the Sam Maguire Cup north of the border for the first time in history. Many members of those teams from the 1960s…

  9. Topical question AQT 61/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr O'Toole asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister why, on the first Opposition day of the mandate, they failed to respond to the Executive reform motion, given that long-established convention in the Assembly holds that when a motion specifically calls on a Minister or Ministers, that Minister or those…

  12. Debate contribution: All-island Rail Network

    • Private Members' Business

    Rather than this being about writing a cheque for billions or asking for a cheque for billions, as was said previously to the Minister, all we are asking for is for a costed plan. We realise that this is going to take more than years; it will take decades. Does the Member agree with me that the Executive now have…

  15. Debate contribution: All-island Rail Network

    • Private Members' Business

    I have a couple of quick low-hanging fruit questions. As regards Casement Park for 2028, will the Minister work with his officials on Balmoral station, which could be upgraded with better signage to get people to Casement Park, and Sydenham station, which has very poor signage to direct people to Belfast City Airport?

  17. Debate contribution: All-island Rail Network

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank my colleague Mark Durkan for bringing the motion to the Assembly. We can hear the engagement, breadth of interest and passion that there is about our rail network, its past, its, at times frustrating, present, and its huge potential. We are debating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to look again at how we move…

  18. Debate contribution: Shared and Integrated Education: Fresh Start Funding Withdrawal

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I am afraid that people watching will find it absolutely astounding that no Minister has any idea what has been agreed in relation to reallocating existing money. Can she, or any other Minister, — There is chuntering from the sidelines from parties that would rather not wait for questions about important issues. Can…

  20. Debate contribution: Fiscal Framework/Revenue Raising: Treasury Engagement

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, Executive Ministers have said various contradictory things about revenue raising, some in print and some verbally. As a constructive Opposition, we have said that we do not think that it would be appropriate to impose punishing new rises on the people of Northern Ireland this year. The Executive will meet…

  22. Debate contribution: All-island Rail Network

    • Private Members' Business

    I agree with a lot of what the Member has said and with his point about the fact that we need institutional political stability to deliver big things, whether health reform or growth of the rail network. Will he agree that it would be helpful if the First Minister and deputy First Minister would confirm that they will…

  24. Topical question AQT 51/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance when she and other Ministers found out about the withdrawal of the ring-fenced £150 million for shared and integrated education, given that he found out that it had been hacked away when he got an email from the principal of his son’s primary school to say that they would not…
