  1. Debate contribution: Housing: Affordable Rent Programme

    • Ministerial Statements

    Mr Deputy Speaker, I hope that everything is OK with you. I believe that you said "subliminal valves". I am not sure what those are, but I am sure that everybody in the Chamber would be keen that you get those addressed before too long.

  2. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Institutional and Plenary Meetings

    • Ministerial Statements

    First Minister, you said that the NSMC discussed wider geopolitical developments. One geopolitical development particularly pertaining on a cross-border basis is the rise of the online right and racism. A week ago, we had race-based pogroms, or attempted pogroms, in this city. People are still homeless, and they are…

  3. Motion or amendment: Standing up to Racism

    • Motion · Private Members' Motion

    Standing up to Racism That this Assembly condemns violence in all its forms, including the appalling attack in North Belfast on Stephen Ogilvie on 8 June; expresses deep concern at the recent racially motivated violence across Northern Ireland; affirms that such actions cannot be justified as legitimate democratic…

  4. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    To be honest, it almost feels utterly pointless to continue to debate any of the amendments, because we will not be allowed to have a legitimate vote on them, Mr Burrows. By the way, I disagree with your opinions, but you are entitled to hold them. I am not trying to silence your voice. The problem is that, by signing…

  5. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Mr Deputy Speaker, I have been generous in taking interventions. Raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility is something that was going to divide the House. Members had different views on it. It is a sensible and progressive thing, and many people in the children's rights sector believe that this would have…

    Not flagged Decided on a second assessment.

  6. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I must confess, having been so used to the sound of Mr Frew's voice for the last while, it is a bit of a surprise that his speech has ended so suddenly. I will be somewhat briefer on amendment No 82 than offers have been thus far. There is no explicit or implicit criticism of others for what they have said, because it…

  7. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. He referred to Professor Brown's article. It is worth debating that. Professor Brown refers to the potential for binary cases and the exceptions in amendment No 82, but is it not the case that Professor Brown is fundamentally pointing out that the age of criminal responsibility…

  8. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Fiscal Council Bill: Final Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you, Minister, for giving way. I definitely have even less scriptural knowledge than you have. It is, of course, important — I believe that this is scripture — that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. That was an important part of what we were trying to achieve in the Bill. It is the case…

  9. Debate contribution: Sunday Trading

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    One of the points that some small retailers make about Sunday trading, whether or not this is borne out, is that, rather than supporting the high street, it would simply benefit big retailers. What practical progress are you making on schemes to support small businesses on the high street, such as the Living over the…

  10. Member's statement: Social Media Ban

    • Members' Statements

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I had been hoping to get back in to make a Member's statement, in part because I had requested an urgent oral statement. I am not challenging the Chair's decision, but I am asking for the Speaker's Office to look at guidance after the request for a statement from the First…

  11. Debate contribution: Racially Motivated Riots

    • Matter of the Day

    Once again, I extend my and my party's sympathy and solidarity to Stephen Ogilvie, who suffered that appalling attack last week, and his loved ones. That appalling attack was responded to by a number of people in a truly appalling way. Some people have talked about "real people"; other people have talked about…

  12. Urgent oral question: Executive Action Following Racially Motivated Violence

    • Urgent Oral Question

    Executive Action Following Racially Motivated Violence To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any action being coordinated across the Executive in response to the racially motivated violence of last week.
