All of Mr Matthew O'Toole’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
On a point of order. I appreciate your granting me the opportunity to raise a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I ask the Speaker's Office again to look at the anomaly of the situation that the Opposition and I are in for timed debates in particular, but which will also arise tomorrow. I, as Chair of the…
Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance how he intends to fulfil his party's 2022 Assembly election manifesto pledge to "Seek greater devolution of fiscal powers to better equip the Assembly to target resources and develop progressive taxation policies", given that the Executive have been back for a year, in which…
