    • Motion · Private Members' Motion

  4. Debate contribution: Budget: Executive Failure

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, I will always challenge the British Government, but I also challenge you, because that is my job and that of the Opposition. If, as we heard today, small business rate relief money cannot be spent; if, as the deputy First Minister said recently, support for integration, community relations and race relations…

  5. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, can I just double-check a point of fact? You have just confirmed that if the Executive do not or will not agree a Budget — we all want the UK Government to engage with you; they are in chaos at the minute, so whether they are focusing or not is anyone's guess — there will be an automatic 5% cut imposed by…

  6. Debate contribution: ‘Integrated Education Demand: Evidence, Insights, and Limitations’ Report

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I declare an interest: my child is at an integrated school. It happens to be an integrated school from which the Executive, taking the lead from you, took rebuilding money at the beginning of the mandate, in 2024, so I will take no lessons about standing up for integrated education. Minister, you just said that…

  7. Topical question AQT 2391/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance, after noting that, as of today, we are two months into the financial year, which means that the Executive have been operating unlawfully without a Budget for two months, and that his permanent secretary has written to all Departments saying that, if no Budget is agreed, all…

  8. Debate contribution: Hunting with Dogs Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    But it is not. Members talked earlier about vermin control and pest management. The Member is repeatedly conflating any form of pest management and control of wildlife with the Bill, which specifically outlaws hunting with dogs. Is that not true?

  9. Debate contribution: Hunting with Dogs Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I will speak briefly at this stage of the Bill. This is the Second Stage of a Bill, a version of which we debated in the previous mandate. I commend the Bill sponsor, John Blair, who, it has to be said, has been consistent. I was going to say dogged but that would qualify as an extremely inappropriate and…

  10. Debate contribution: Dublin Central By-election: Gerry Hutch's Remarks

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The reason I ask, First Minister, is that, when those specific remarks were put to your party leader, Mary Lou McDonald, she said: "We can’t comment on other people’s comments". She refused, at that point, to condemn the words of Gerry Hutch. I do not want to get into political commentary on every remark that is made,…
