  1. Debate contribution: Legislation Programme 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    I will be brief. He talked about the Bill that he wanted to see. Lots of us wanted to see a Bill to create an independent environmental protection agency. I think that we had it confirmed today that the opportunity for that has timed out and that it cannot happen in this mandate. Is that his understanding as Chair of…

  2. Debate contribution: Legislation Programme 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw, on a Friday, 10 days ago, that the legislative programme had arrived in my inbox. If the Executive are, according to their own Programme for Government, "Doing What Matters Most" and, as the deputy First Minister told me from the lectern just a few, short days…

  3. Debate contribution: Belfast Lough: Pollution

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, I share your concern about a lack of clarity on investment in NI waste water, which is why I hope that you and your party will support our Opposition motion tomorrow on the need for an investment strategy to deal with these things. Another document that was published very quietly on Friday a week ago was the…

  4. Debate contribution: Sectarian Hate Crimes

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, it goes without saying that I and my party stand in solidarity with you. Democracy means you being robustly held to account in the Chamber, and you are more than able to deal with that. However, what happened was contemptible. A family home is sacrosanct, so we stand in solidarity with you. In relation to…

  5. Debate contribution: Gaza Ceasefire Agreement

    • Matters of the Day

    First, I pause and reflect on a moment of hope amid a world that is frightening, divided and full of destruction. The release of the hostages who are living, and, hopefully, the speedy release of remains, is something that any human being with an ounce of morality has to welcome. The actions of Hamas on 7 October were…

    Replacing Irish Language Street Signage Policy in Belfast - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘That this Assembly’ and insert: ‘acknowledges media reports regarding the approval of Irish language street signs by Belfast City Council; recognises that a non-response from residents does not represent opposition to…

  7. Debate contribution: Criminal Justice System: Failure to Transform

    • Private Members' Business

    I will try to speak briefly to the motion. As my colleague Patsy McGlone said, the SDLP will support it. My party does not agree with the DUP all too often, but it is a totally reasonable motion. The point of its being reasonable is made ever so starkly obvious by what, it has to be said, has been, frankly, an…

  8. Debate contribution: Regional Imbalance

    • Private Members' Business

    I appreciate my colleague giving way. Does he agree that, while lots of things that have been described today are positive in and of themselves, there is a little bit of what he calls "gaslighting" — it could also be referred to as "snake oil" — going on, with people listing things that are happening, some of which…

  9. Debate contribution: Loyalist Communities Council: DUP Engagement

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Please answer my specific question: is continued engagement with the Loyalist Communities Council appropriate in that context? Further to that, will you demonstrate that you agree that delivery on the Irish language is legitimate and appropriate? When will an Irish Language Commissioner be appointed and in office?
