I thank the Minister for giving way. I genuinely appreciate her coming to give us a detailed update. She is entirely within her rights to clarify and push back on certain statements that she sees as wrong. Given that it sounds like, if there is consensus on what is being delivered, the questions are about how it can…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Hill Street, Belfast: Pedestrianisation Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Hill Street, Belfast: Pedestrianisation
I do not know where the concerns are, but there will always be someone who uses a particular rat run in a city, whether a taxi driver or someone who operates a business. Does the Member agree that the simple fact of someone using a route is not, if there is overwhelming public interest in its being pedestrianised, a…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I hope that I will not use all the 15 minutes, and I would say that everybody else hopes that I will not use all the 15 minutes either. I thought that we would find unanimity for once in the Chamber on that. I am glad to bring the subject to the Assembly Chamber for debate…

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. On a previous occasion when a motion was passed in the Assembly with a call for the Irish Government or for Dáil Éireann more broadly, I believe that a letter went from the Speaker to the Irish Government. I just wondered if the Speaker's Office could advise on whether that…

I am grateful to the Member for giving way. Notwithstanding some of his remarks about it being a foreign head of state — he is entitled to make that statement, but, obviously, I do not agree with that — for the purposes of information, can he tell me how I can go about voting for the head of the UK state? That is not…

I speak in strong support of the motion and welcome the fact that Sinn Féin Members have tabled it. It is an extremely important subject, on which it is entirely legitimate that the Assembly gets a chance to make its voice heard. While we disagree with Sinn Féin on some things, I strongly agree with the motion, and I…

Minister, you set out your views on NI Water and SORPI. However, you have also said that you want to give the Infrastructure Minister and her predecessor time and space to come up with a funding solution. They have had time and space, and there is no funding solution. Heads appear to be stuck in the sand. What…

Minister, like other Members, I welcome the reintroduction of the cross-border healthcare scheme and its extension. Many people have called for that, and, bluntly, many people want to have procedures while they are still around and can live a constructive life. Ultimately, however, it is true to say that that scheme,…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Tackling Waiting Lists — Investment Plan Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Tackling Waiting Lists — Investment Plan
My party is probably the strongest supporter of strand two in the Chamber; we championed the creation of the North/South Ministerial Council. However, I am afraid that you have given us an update on trade and business matters on the island of Ireland without mentioning dual market access and our unique proposition,…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: North-South Ministerial Council: Trade and Business Development Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: North-South Ministerial Council: Trade and Business Development
Minister, you rightly said that you need an evidence base on which to engage with the UK Government on VAT. You will also need an evidence base to stand, hopefully with the Irish Government, against the pernicious ETA, which is an existential risk to cross-border tourism. It was not mentioned in the statement, as has…

I was not planning on speaking on the motion, but I thought that Members of the Assembly had not heard enough from me today and were perhaps hoping fondly to hear more from the leader of the Opposition. Part of the purpose of my speaking today is to reinforce some of what my colleague Patsy McGlone said. Patsy…

Minister, I commend you for talking in detail about PSNI operational matters. It is the 30th anniversary of 'Father Ted', and I am glad that you are not saying, as you often do, "That would be an operational matter". There is a real sense among some people that confidence and optimism around the PSNI have declined…

Thank you very much. I welcome the fact that Members have participated in a colourful debate, and I will reflect on some of what was said. It is important to say, first of all, that many Members commented on the motion's brevity, which is a quality not often associated with me or, it has to be said, Mr Frew, who…

I beg to move I am pleased to open another Opposition day of business here in the Northern Ireland Assembly.

I acknowledge the Minister's update for the Assembly, brief and factual as it is. Given what we hope is somewhat of an improvement in UK-EU relations in making progress towards some kind of an improved set of arrangements, including for sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) controls, which would be helpful for this place,…
