  5. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I want to tease out some of those comments, because there is a contradiction, if I may say, between what Mr Frew said and what Mr Buckley just said about enforcement. Mr Frew, I asked you a question about the flags on the A55 dual carriageway. Obviously, there are other flags that are associated with other proscribed…

  8. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I was not planning on intervening, but I have to once again make the point that I made to Mr Burrows. It is legitimate to ask specific questions, and you guys have had a fair crack tonight at filibustering. The question, however, remains. There are flags on the A55, which, at some point in the next few minutes, I am…

  10. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    First, I would not describe any part of my consistency as being nicer than another; I am proud of every street that I represent, whether the people choose to fly flags or not. As always, the Member is putting in an enthusiastic, spirited performance of his shtick. If you drive from here to my constituency of South…

  12. Debate contribution: Artificial Intelligence Strategy

    • Opposition Business

    I will speak relatively briefly. We are all speaking relatively briefly because it is a short debate. As my colleagues said, this is one of the first opportunities that we have had to debate AI in any detail. Our motion calls not for a junking of the construction of data centres — as has been said, Northern Ireland…

  13. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann

    • Opposition Business

    I appreciate the Member giving way. You are chair of the all-party group on the arts and, like me, were engaging a lot with the arts campaigners who were here last week campaigning for funding. I should have said what they said, which was that the fleadh did not happen by accident, and, if we do not fund them, then —.

  14. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann

    • Opposition Business

    I beg to move Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. It is with real pride and joy that I am able to move a motion about the Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann and allow the Assembly the opportunity to reflect on what was, I think, for many of us, one of the most remarkable successes that this city and region has ever had. In the…

  15. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    • Opposition Business

    We have been consistent in saying — anybody can check the records — that we want to see more money to fund this place, but it is also true that, if the Executive do not agree a Budget, they are, legally, imposing a 5% cut on last year's Budget. That would be the most brutal Budget cut and would far, far outstrip any…

  17. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    • Opposition Business

    I appreciate the Minister's giving way. He exchanges blows in good part. I will tell you what I would have done first of all. If you had agreed up front a plan that involved decisions, trade-offs and clarity with the public on how much you wanted to spend on the health service and on the decisions that you were going…

  19. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    • Opposition Business

    I appreciate the Minister's giving way. Of course, I did not say that I was 10 out of 10 confident that the Budget would be agreed. That was you, Minister. I do not know where you got that from, but I am not going to take your tips. Listowel Races is coming up next week — no, thank you for your tips. However, I will…

  23. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    • Opposition Business

    The Fiscal Council set it out in black and white. Whether you call it a "discrepancy" or "unfairness" is slightly academic; there is definitely a difference, and we have acknowledged that. However, it is also true to say that the Executive had failed to set a Budget long before that report from the Fiscal Council was…

    I beg to move Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. Welcome back after the summer to all those who are elected to represent the public in Northern Ireland. Whether they are unionist, nationalist or neither, whether they are working in the public sector or the private sector or whether they are young or old, whatever their…
