  1. Debate contribution: Belfast Rapid Transit Phase 2 — BRT2 — Project

    • Ministerial Statement

    Uncharacteristically, I will endeavour to fulfil that request, Mr Speaker. I welcome the Minister's bringing the statement to the House. It is, however, a deeply disappointing day for people in north and south Belfast, and it is perhaps unsurprising that not a single North Belfast or South Belfast Sinn Féin MLA is in…

  2. Debate contribution: Written and Oral Ministerial Statements

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. My apologies for indulging in points of order and dosing you on them twice in one day. In the past hour and a half, the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs has issued, under embargo, a written ministerial statement. Further to what I raised with you earlier, not only…

  3. Debate contribution: Energy Efficiency Capital Grant Scheme: Update

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, energy efficiency is indeed hugely important and, along with other types of decarbonisation, is one of your four priorities. In your Department's business plan, however, next to baseline — how you measure progress — there is a range of measures for other policy interventions, but, for energy efficiency, the…

  4. Debate contribution: The Animals (Identification, Records, Movement and Enforcement) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025: Prayer of Annulment

    • Private Members' Business

    The Minister is keen to defend his officials, which is fine. Our job is to ensure the accountability of officials and Ministers, and we should make no apology for that. He mentioned the past three or four years of, apparently, looking at the legalities, but have his officials looked at any potential legal liability…

    Will the Minister give way?

  6. Debate contribution: The Animals (Identification, Records, Movement and Enforcement) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025: Prayer of Annulment

    • Private Members' Business

    I appreciate the Member giving way. He said that the protocol — or Windsor framework, if he prefers — had nothing to do with Brexit. Would there have been a protocol or Windsor framework if Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK had still been in the EU?

  7. Debate contribution: The Animals (Identification, Records, Movement and Enforcement) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025: Prayer of Annulment

    • Private Members' Business

    My colleague Patsy McGlone has ably put on record the issues with this, frankly, absurd prayer of annulment, but I will make a couple of additional points. We have here a situation where, I am afraid, the in-denial meet the incompetent. The DUP has tabled a prayer of annulment on, effectively, the continuation of core…

  8. Debate contribution: The Animals (Identification, Records, Movement and Enforcement) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025: Prayer of Annulment

    • Private Members' Business

    I appreciate the Chairman's giving way. I speak as someone who is not on the Committee. To clarify for the House, is he saying that there has been some kind of legal lacuna since 2021? I am not entirely clear about that from Miss McIlveen's remarks, but it would be helpful if the Chair were to explain to us what…

  9. Debate contribution: Written and Oral Ministerial Statements

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Further to my Member's statement, in my role as leader of the Opposition, I have a particular concern around Ministers' failure to bring oral statements to the House. The Finance Minister is in the Chamber now, but we have now had two monitoring rounds and a draft Budget that should…

  10. Member's statement: Executive Accountability

    • Members' Statements

    I am tempted to respond to some of what Dr Aiken has said — he has said it repeatedly in the Chamber — but I will not, because I have other things to talk about. First of all, I associate myself with your remarks about Andy Allen, Mr Speaker. We should all be proud of Andy's achievements. I also mark, if I may, the…
