In that scenario, the pastor, priest, minister or whoever would have to be doing it with the specific intent of changing or suppressing the sexuality or gender identity of a specific person. It would be extremely unlikely, and that is why I said what I said. The Bill is an important step forward in doing what has been…
Without getting into the semantics — I do not say that in a pejorative sense — of particular scenarios, first, that is precisely the purpose of having a Committee Stage, during which such scenarios are discussed and people can give evidence. If the Bill were to proceed to Committee Stage, I have absolutely no doubt…
I will attempt to speak relatively briefly about Mr Tennyson's Bill this evening, because people deserve to go home. I presume that we will not move to a Division tonight. I want to say some words in support of the Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill at Second Stage, as my party colleague did earlier, and make…

I wondered — it is something to reflect on — about the comparison that he drew between the coercive behaviour provisions in this Bill and the provisions in other…
Thank you to the Member for Upper Bann for bringing this Matter of the Day. The inquiry findings on the brutal, disgusting, sectarian murder of Robert Hamill call to mind the dark society in which we lived in the 1990s. They call to mind the fact that, at times, it was deeply unsafe in that period for people from a…
Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance, after noting that, while we talk a lot about the back and forth, the overall quantum of the Executive Budget and the high-level political talks, on the ground across the North, the failure to set a Budget is having real-world impacts on ordinary public servants and ordinary…
