Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Assessing Economic Trends on the Island of Ireland”
Assessing Economic Trends on the Island of Ireland - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘fiscal levers being devolved;’ and insert: ‘calls on the Minister of Finance to publish the proposals for any additional fiscal powers that he is seeking; and further calls on the British Government to engage constructively on these…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the amount her Department has allocated to cycling infrastructure in South Belfast, between 2026 and 2027.
There has been a fair bit of knockabout today, some of which has been done in good part, and that is fair enough. There have been accusations of hypocrisy from the DUP towards Sinn Féin and from Sinn Féin towards the DUP. The truth is that there is pretty glaring hypocrisy from both parties. These issues — and the…
Minister, it is important to put on the record that you said something on the record and on the airwaves about a barrister's earnings that was entirely inaccurate. That will have set back relations that have already been frayed between you and the Criminal Bar Association. The people who are suffering are victims and…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether their Department intends to reform the Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997, in the 2022-27 Assembly mandate.

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether she has assessed the need for the reinstatement of an early morning sailing for the Strangford Lough ferry.
I beg to move After a day of heated and, sometimes, fairly oppositional debate, I trust that we can have a debate on something that can hopefully not just unify us around a simple issue but inspire us. I hope that the debate can unify us in our diversity and allow us to celebrate the diversity of the cultural…
OK, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker: I will get to my point of order. Just a moment ago, the First Minister and other senior Ministers walked through the Lobby to vote for an amendment to our motion that criticised fundamentally the performance of the Executive. I ask the Speaker's Office to give a ruling on the…
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. First, if I misused the word "literally", in terms of accountability, I will be held accountable, so I should not have done that. I literally should not be misusing. However, on a specific point —.
Thank you for giving way, deputy First Minister. You said that I had a big angry head: I am afraid that I cannot do much about that. I was born ginger. I will do my best to look happier and smile more. I do not know if your comment was about that; I am sure that it was not. Anyway, on the point about me being…
Minister, I welcome the fact that you are committed, in broad terms, to the Ravenhill cycle network, and it is important that we see urgent prioritisation of it. There are five schools and two parks — Ormeau and Cherryvale — along that route. It is, no pun intended, the Rosetta Stone of active travel in that part of…
First Minister, I appreciate that you say that you want to work together with Ministers. You are very good at saying that you want to work together and at expressing warm sentiments, but you did not, I am afraid, accept any accountability for the failure so far to fully transform the health service in Northern Ireland…
First Minister, thank you for the update. I am afraid that you at least confirmed the frankly preposterous situation where, three months into the legislation programme, less than 10% of what has been promised has been introduced. Perhaps we should not be surprised, because the original 2024 legislative programme has…
I beg to move Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Happy new year to you and to everyone in the Assembly. I am afraid that, so far, it has not been a new year blessed with delivery, focus and purpose from the Northern Ireland Executive. If you were to turn to the Executive Office website, the Executive Office…
