I thank the Member for giving way. Just for absolute clarity, let me say that our party takes its commitment to non-violence so seriously that it hardly needs saying. We put down the first motion in the Chamber that condemned the actions on 7 October along with the grotesque and disproportionate acts of the Israeli…
I worry that Dr Aiken set a very clear tone at the beginning of the debate when he cited the IHRA definition and, as per his interpretation of that definition, effectively accused of antisemitism those of us, including those Members who tabled the motion, who care about humanity and want to call out the appalling…
I appreciate the Member's giving way for the purposes of debate. He talks about balance, and balance is important. Does he accept that, in this equation, one side is a nuclear-armed state that lost in an appalling — The Member chunters about Iran. Yes, Iran has a nuclear programme, but it is not a fully armed nuclear…
I will draw my remarks to a conclusion, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I hope that the Minister will consider offering clarity in his winding- up remarks about whether he offered a direction on the A5. That is of the utmost importance.

Will he clarify that point now — I will give way to him — or in his remarks later? That is critical for the people who care about the construction…

Yesterday's decision was to uphold an appeal of a decision that was made by your predecessor, John O'Dowd. Are you…
I want to apologise because I was not in the Chamber to ask my question to the Assembly Commission. Colleagues clearly moved more quickly than I had anticipated, so apologies for that.
I have a quick question. I hope that we will hear that the requirements of the business plan will be met this year, given that some of the words from the First Minister indicated that they would. When that workforce plan is published, will it address what now appears to be a crisis in Catholic recruitment to the PSNI?…
Minister, I wish that I could thank you for your statement, but I cannot, because it is a waste of the Assembly's time. It is an utter waste. I do not know which detective you got to do the forensic exercise — whether it was Columbo or perhaps Inspector Clouseau. Having read the statement, I think that it…
