Does my colleague agree that it is also important to note what Members have said about NI Water being a critical part of all of this? It is. They should, through the Executive, support a plan for funding NI Water, which we have not got at the moment.
I beg to move We are here for a very short time, both on this earth, obviously, and in elected politics. Our time in politics — whoever we are — is brief, but Lough Neagh has been around since time immemorial. We have, therefore, been given the profound responsibility of being the custodians of our most precious…
We debated the appalling genocide and criminal actions of the Israeli state in Gaza just a few months ago. Since then, thousands of innocent Palestinians, including hundreds of children, have died. Let us put that into some context: more than the entire loss of life during our three-decade conflict has been lost in…
The Member says that Hamas would be the barrier to a two-state solution. I am not and have never been a supporter of Hamas. I have criticised Hamas multiple times in the Chamber.

Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance, given that, after the spending review in June, he welcomed the £50 million in financial transactions capital (FTC) allocated by the UK Government to Casement Park — it should be said that there was a £50 million underspend in the previous financial year, but it was still…
A5 Western Transport Corridor Scheme That this Assembly expresses regret that the Minister for Infrastructure and Executive colleagues failed to take the necessary actions to ensure that the A5 Western Transport Corridor scheme could withstand legal challenge; and calls on the Executive to ensure that the A5 scheme…
The Executive’s Approach to Hate That this Assembly condemns the continued high occurrence of racist and sectarian motivated hate crime witnessed throughout Northern Ireland; believes the response from the Executive has been inadequate; and calls on the Executive to combat all forms of hate crime by introducing hate…
