  1. Debate contribution: Budget 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. May I ask the Speaker's Office, for a number of reasons, to reflect on the treatment of the official Opposition in today's debate? I appreciate that you gave guidance on the use of what you called a "prop", which is your right, but the leader of the Opposition was limited to…

  2. Debate contribution: Budget 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    I appreciate the Minister's giving way. To be fair, he is willing to engage in debate, and that is to his credit. The Minister wants us to produce an exact alternative to his document. I have lots of issues with his document, but I am not going to wave any document about. I just want to ask this robust question: will…

  3. Debate contribution: Budget 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for giving way, because I want to respond to the point that he is making. Mr Carroll can speak for himself and what he is calling for. We published a paper today, but I have talked about this stuff in the Assembly today. What you describe is a Budget from which you just divvy out the money that…

  4. Debate contribution: Budget 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    As I have just walked into the Chamber, it is very courteous of the Member to give way. He mentioned the review being published. The Minister could confirm this for us, but I do not think that there is a plan to publish it. It is my understanding that it has been provided to the UK Government. Does the Member agree…

  5. Debate contribution: UK-EU Summit

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    Minister, like me, you have been intrigued to hear the DUP rail against a deal that appears to start addressing many of the issues that it has railed against, which were caused by the Brexit that it championed in the first place. Minister, we can still benefit, hopefully while mitigating some of the east-west…

  6. Debate contribution: Fiscal Powers

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    'The Big Bang Theory' is also a sitcom. A lot of comedy happens in the Chamber, but I want to see some serious business too. You keep saying, "Mañana, mañana" or "After the spending review". The most recent Budget, which we are debating today, offers a capital settlement of £335 million for waste water. That is barely…

  7. Debate contribution: Fiscal Powers

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, you labelled me "partitionist" earlier. In the spirit of robust debate in the Chamber, you are fully entitled to do so, but I am not the one who pursues one policy on one side of the border and another policy north of the border. You mentioned the Irish Government's €13 billion surplus. That is correct.…

  8. Debate contribution: NI Water: Multi-year Funding

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The capital departmental expenditure limit (CDEL) settlement for the Budget that we are debating today increases capital investment in water infrastructure by just between 1% and 2%, I think. Last week, in Dáil Éireann, the Minister's colleague Eoin Ó Broin moved a motion that Dáil Éireann: "agrees that the Government…

  9. Debate contribution: Kneecap: DFC Funding

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    No one should trivialise individuals trivialising violence, whether they are artists or not. For the sake of consistency, when the Minister met the Loyalist Communities Council did he explicitly say to it that the trivialisation of violence, including that by loyalist paramilitaries, was wrong?

  10. Debate contribution: Budget 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I will be pursuing the point, particularly because others in the Chamber make great play of the importance of opposition in other Chambers on this island. I intend to do my job in opposition on this part of the island and to have it properly respected. Anyway, I will move on.…

  11. Motion or amendment: Addressing the Impact of Illegal Immigration in Northern Ireland - Amendment 1

    • Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Addressing the Impact of Illegal Immigration in Northern Ireland”

    Addressing the Impact of Illegal Immigration in Northern Ireland - Amendment 1 Leave out all after 'legal migration to the UK;’ and insert: ‘acknowledges that immigration can deliver many benefits including contributing to economic growth and addressing skills shortages; regrets the continued divisive rhetoric around…

  12. Debate contribution: Online Harms: Impact on Young People

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank my colleague for giving way. She mentioned teenagers. Does she agree that it is not just teenagers? I have a seven-year-old, who is soon to turn eight. He has grown up seeing his parents inevitably looking at their phone, and occasionally he has a screen in front of him, so it has become part of his day-to-day…
