  2. Debate contribution: Social and Affordable Housing: East Belfast

    • Adjournment

    I agree with lots of what has been said in the debate. As a constituency MLA who works in the south inner city, which is an area with significant social housing need and demand, I, like other MLAs, regularly deal with housing pressures and my office works hard with the Housing Executive and housing associations to try…

  3. Debate contribution: Budget (No. 2) Bill: First Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I raise a point under Standing Orders about the allocation of debate time. The Minister responded thoroughly to Members, which is fair enough, but, by my count, he used less than half the time that had been allotted to him. I had 10 minutes in which to cover Finance Committee issues…

  4. Debate contribution: Water Quality: Lough Neagh

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, I add my voice to those who stand in opposition to any inappropriate, homophobic remarks. That is utterly disgusting. You have the Opposition's support in calling that out. You are doing your job as a Minister, and you can be challenged on substance but not on anything else. Minister, it is clear that Lough…

  5. Member's statement: Confidence in the Justice System

    • Members' Statements

    Before I come to my remarks, I will respond to Dr Aiken, who earlier, I think, compared a Bill that is being discussed in Dáil Éireann to the Nazis. Dr Aiken is entitled to robust views on Israel, but I genuinely ask him to consider his earlier remarks, because they are remarkably intemperate. Yesterday, in the…

  10. Debate contribution: European Future for Northern Ireland

    • Opposition Business

    OK. Let me just say this: we all had to sign in. After we became MLAs, because of the terms of the Good Friday Agreement and the Northern Ireland Act, we all had to designate as "Unionist", "Nationalist" or "Other". I designate as "Nationalist" and "Social Democrat". I am also proudly pro-European. I am proud to be…

  11. Debate contribution: European Future for Northern Ireland

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank everybody who participated in a lively and important debate. It is an important debate. I turn to what Mr Tennyson just said, which was, I think, that we could have had this debate over 100 years ago and that it revealed only that one group of people is unionist,…

  12. Debate contribution: European Future for Northern Ireland

    • Opposition Business

    I appreciate the Member's taking the intervention. It is a good-spirited debate. My argument is that — I think that lots of people agree with this — in the context of a new Ireland back inside the European Union, a whole range of other benefits, including economic benefits, will be unlocked. That sounds like a grand…

  13. Debate contribution: European Future for Northern Ireland

    • Opposition Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. There is a lot of thoughtful stuff in his remarks, but he said that the motion reduced the Good Friday Agreement to constitutional outcomes, but is the agreement not all about respecting constitutional aspirations, including his own?
