  1. Debate contribution: Ending Violence against Women and Girls

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank my colleague for that answer. As he said, it is extremely important that, as a facilitator of democratic debate and government here and as an employer, the Assembly is an exemplar. What are the formal or informal means whereby information or best practice, as has been gathered by, for example, the Youth…

  2. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Public Programmes and Facilities

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I have a very specific question to ask, and I genuinely ask it in good faith. The Speaker's Corner shop is staffed by wonderful Assembly staff, but, to be perfectly honest, the shop's offering is not very good. If one goes to other public facilities, such as the Ulster Museum, which is in my constituency, or, indeed,…

  3. Debate contribution: Budget 2026-2029

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, we are not on holiday yet, but you appear to be in almost horizontal mode when it comes to the crisis. I am aware of public services that will be at risk this summer, including councils, community and voluntary sector organisations that operate holiday hunger services, community integration services and…

  4. Member's statement: Brexit Referendum: Ten-year Anniversary

    • Members' Statements

    It is hard to believe that a decade ago today, on another baking hot day in London, a referendum took place in which the UK voted tragically to leave the European Union. Of course, it bears repeating that Northern Ireland did not vote to leave the European Union; it voted to remain in the European Union but was…

  5. Debate contribution: Jeffrey Donaldson: Rape and Child Sexual Abuse Conviction

    • Matter of the Day

    Jeffrey Donaldson was convicted yesterday of the most grave and depraved crimes that it is possible to imagine. He stands not just shamed but convicted in the eyes of the law by a jury of his peers. Like others, on behalf of my party, I stand with his victims and acknowledge their extraordinary courage and resilience…

  6. Topical question AQT 2491/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance, given that there has been a huge amount of bluff and bluster from him about the absence of a Budget that he said was transformational and that he — not the UK Government or the Opposition — published a draft Budget in January that still has not been agreed, whether the Budget…

  7. Debate contribution: Public Appointments

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am pleased to make a winding-up speech on the motion, which, it is fair to say, has prompted considerable commentary from different sides of the House. Members have chosen to selectively oppose or, indeed, to selectively support different parts of the motion. First, let me be…

  8. Debate contribution: Teachers: Industrial Action

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, in broader terms, we are now two and a half years into your stint as Education Minister. Whether it is on TransformED, the curriculum review, workload — you have done work in that area — or the inspections regime that has just been announced, albeit you have told the Chamber that there is no real reason for…

  9. Debate contribution: Politics: Decade of Chaos

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    First Minister, you might get a meeting with Keir Starmer now, because I think that his diary is about to become a lot freer in the days to come. However, it comes back to the point about taking responsibility here. I asked you whether the correct response to chaos in London was your party and the DUP visiting chaos…

  10. Debate contribution: Race Relations Framework

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I acknowledge and welcome the First Minister's strong words and her condemnation of the racism that we have seen, but racial minorities in our society want more than words. Frankly, they have seen a lack of urgency from the Executive in finding a practical response. This is now the third year in which we have had…

  11. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am pleased to be able to make a winding-up speech on the motion. The factual answer to Ms Hargey as to why the motion did not mention the Fiscal Council's Budget sustainability report was because it was not published when we drafted the motion. As the official Opposition, we have to…

  12. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    • Opposition Business

    I beg to move Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I suppose that I am bound to respond to the Minister's point of order. First, I am flattered that the Minister thinks that the official Opposition should adhere to precisely the same obligations as Ministers with regard to Assembly business. In fact, I am surprised…

  13. Debate contribution: Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry Final Report

    • Ministerial Statement

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. For the record, as the Minister asked about it, I received the correspondence last evening, so it would not have been possible to have brought it to him. For the record, again, the word "harm" was used by the individual about what her family member had experienced, not "abuse".…

  14. Debate contribution: Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry Final Report

    • Ministerial Statement

    Minister, thank you for the statement. Although some of them have left the Chamber, I, too, welcome the families and those affected here today. We can but imagine the trauma that they and their loved ones went through at Muckamore. You, Minister, rightly called it "evil". You also said that you hoped that the abuse…

  15. Topical question AQT 2471/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr O'Toole asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, having noted the fact that tomorrow marks a decade since the Brexit referendum, which was a decade of chaos visited upon people here by political machinations in London but made worse by the decisions of Sinn Féin and the DUP to collapse these…
