I am pleased to debate the motion, and I hope that, unlike in the previous debate, we can maintain some degree of equanimity. I do not think that equanimity needs to mean perfect agreement or, necessarily, that calmness or consensus is always evidence of progress. There are issues where we need to be respectful but…
I am listening to the debate and trying to channel the average person watching it with their head in their hands, thinking, "Will we ever make progress in this society?" I say that because the quality of the debate and some of what has been said has been absolutely depressing, it has to be said. I will happily engage…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Last week, during questions to the Finance Minister, he responded to a question from me by stating as fact that there had been no £50 million underspend in what is called "financial transactions capital". In fact, as per his ministerial statement, earlier this year, on the out-turn for…
Further to the previous question, Minister, there is clearly a strong argument for using out-of-court disposals and even increasing their use to free up court time and prosecutor time for other things. If they are going to be used for riotous behaviour and that riotous behaviour is aggravated by sectarian or race…
Minister, this is a critical issue. It is clearly hugely important, but you are outsourcing responsibility for the budget to other parties, having insourced all the most controversial things that you have done gleefully over the past year and a half. I will ask you something directly about outsourcing specifically,…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail whether all, or any part, of his oral statement of 16 September 2025 entitled Funding for Special Educational Needs Capital Investment was composed using artificial intelligence.
I ask this in the genuine spirit of sincerity. The Minister has earned some plaudits for forcing stuff through, even if I and others in the Chamber really disagree with it, and often perhaps without Executive discussion. He now asks others in the Chamber to bear with him, think rationally and, in effect, trust him.…
I will be brief. Minister, you were asked about the Knockbreda Road crossing: that is hugely critical to the community in Rosetta, which has been waiting for it for years. It is also critical for school safety. There are half a dozen primary schools and three post-primary schools in that area. You said that that would…
Violence begets more violence; hate tends to beget more hate. The scenes, brutally and traumatically relayed throughout the world via social media on people's phones, including those of many young people, of the assassination of Charlie Kirk will leave a lasting legacy for many people who supported and sympathised…
