I appreciate the deputy First Minister's giving way. She talked about the multi-year Budget: my party wants to see that too. Was she disappointed that the Budget sustainability plan, which was produced last week, did not have a huge amount of detail or ambition on long-term measures to reform and improve how we manage…

I thank my colleague for giving way. Will she reflect on the fact that, as well as the seven months between the Executive being restored and the draft Programme for Government being published, there were, as we found out, more than 100 meetings between Executive parties and civil servants between the 2022 election and…

— they may not get justice. People are literally dying, so will the Minister ensure that there is a proper resolution to the processes? Will he meet some of the families to reassure them that he is committed to getting justice for their family members?

The actions of Michael Watt were appalling. Anyone in the House who is engaged with victims or families of victims of Dr Watt will know how serious this is. The award of £50,000 to one victim of Dr Watt will only reinforce to the others the sense that the painfully slow review process is not moving quickly enough and…

No organisation, political party, business or church is responsible for the actions of abusers; they are culpable for their actions. Organisations are, however, responsible for the actions that they take to safeguard vulnerable people. They are also responsible for fulfilling their duty of candour and transparency. A…

I will assume, hopefully, that the deputy First Minister will not seek the input of loyalist paramilitary gangs when it comes to other policy areas. I will ask this specific question. The Programme for Government says: "Paramilitary harm continues to affect too many adults and young people". It also says:…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: Paramilitarism Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Paramilitarism
In the spirit of looking forward and delivering what is in the draft Programme for Government — hopefully, it will get a bit more specific — will the deputy First Minister confirm that she will be here for the remainder of the mandate, that she will not resign her office and that she will deliver what will be in the…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Programme for Government: Negative Impact Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Programme for Government: Negative Impact
I am grateful to the Committee Chair for giving way. Does she think that the Programme for Government should have specific targets for any of the areas that she mentioned, whether for tackling paramilitarism or for political stability? For example, should the PFG include a target to reform the institutions?

I beg to move When we came back here, just over eight months ago, the SDLP was clear that it would be a constructive Opposition. We have been constructive but robust ever since. The purpose of an Opposition is not simply to throw snowballs or stones but to do our job, as a public service, for those who have sent us…

Minister, I think that I am right in saying that all, or virtually all, of the other Administrations that attended that meeting have implemented or are moving to implement a ban on no-fault evictions. My understanding is that you do not want to do that here. Why should Northern Ireland be an outlier when all our…

I want to reflect on the past year. On October 7 2023, Hamas launched an attack in Israel. It was a violent attack that has to be consistently condemned. It was unjustified and unjustifiable. I acknowledge and affirm the profound effect that it had on people living in Israel. They were shocking, shocking acts of…
Assessment details for Member's statement: October 7 Attacks Official Assembly record for Member's statement: October 7 Attacks
Mr O'Toole asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, given that the deputy First Minister just mentioned sensitivity in relation to victims and earlier acknowledged the deep hurt felt by victims of paramilitaries and said that 90% of murders during the Troubles were committed by paramilitaries, how, she…

To ask the Minister for Communities, in light of his comments in the media on 26 September 2024 in relation to the arts sector, and that it was not just for extra grants or add on or something that's fluffy, but a real investment in our people, which will have a positive economic return, how he came to the decision…

The Minister makes some reasonable points, but the simple fact is this: the question of whether the Committee or every MLA did their job properly, given that the Bill, which is now an Act, passed by acclamation — there was not even a Division — only adds to the argument that we should do our job in this case even more…

I appreciate that useful clarification from the Justice Minister. We heard about measures around serious and organised crime, which is clearly not an insignificant matter. We also heard about measures to reform or change restorative justice. That can be a positive practice, but there has been controversy in Northern…

I am not a member of the Justice Committee, but I take an interest in these matters. There is lots of important stuff here, and we should all be able and willing to speak on legislation that is not in our Committee's purview. I have consistently said that I am disappointed by the rather scant volume of substantive…
