  1. Debate contribution: Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs: No-confidence Motion

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, I appreciate that you have come here with prepared remarks about the DUP. I am no fan of the DUP, and I well know how venal and self-interested it can be. However, you are a Minister accountable to the Assembly. I did not support that motion. My party was never going to support it; we agree with many of the…

  4. Debate contribution: Courts: Delayed Cases

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, it is clear that that work is a priority, and the transformation funding reflects that. As you just said, however, collaboration among partners, including the legal profession, is critical to getting waiting times down. Further to questions asked earlier, is it a problem that your relationship with the…

  5. Debate contribution: Public-sector Pay Rise

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    At a time when public-sector workers and everybody else are having to fill up their cars and heat their homes while paying crushing energy prices, they need clarity. As the Opposition, we agree that the Executive should get the maximum funding from the British Government — we have never quibbled with that — but it is…

  6. Debate contribution: Racial Equality Legislation

    • Opposition Business

    I did not intend to speak, because I probably speak enough in general in here, and I have spoken a lot today. However, because it is an Opposition motion — my colleague Mark Durkan will deliver the winding-up speech in a few minutes — and having experienced so much as a constituency MLA of the awfulness of what is…

  7. Debate contribution: Four Winds Roundabout

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, as has been said, the area is part of our constituency in which there is a huge amount of developer-led development. The public have to put up with a lot of disruption, but there are also real concerns about road safety, as the Member who spoke previously mentioned. I welcome the confirmation that you have…

  8. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    • Opposition Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I do not know specifically what contradictions the Member is talking about, but, just to clarify on the line that says, "continued political disagreement" not being "a barrier to necessary reform", we are endeavouring to say that, where political disagreement should end or cease is…

  9. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    • Opposition Business

    I beg to move I am proud to move another motion. It follows neatly from the previous motion marking 20 years since the St Andrews Agreement, with all its flaws, and recognising the progress that we have made and that which we definitely have not made. After last night's difficult debate and the past few weeks of…

  11. Debate contribution: St Andrews Agreement: 20 Years On

    • Opposition Business

    First, there is no determination around the events that are happening on the Garvaghy Road, but the Member is entitled to make the point. The Member has mentioned lawbreaking. Several of his Ministers — not to engage in whataboutery — including some who are still serving, were found to be in breach of the ministerial…

  14. Debate contribution: St Andrews Agreement: 20 Years On

    • Opposition Business

    I beg to move After the division and toxicity of last night, the Opposition are doing what we have done for almost the past three years, which is getting back to the business of focusing on people's needs, on their public services, on how we work together in partnership to make this place work, on how we live up to…

  15. Debate contribution: Exclusion of the First Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998

    • Assembly Business

    The Member said that there are no good relations at all from the SDLP. I will point out to him what I said in my speech; I have it in front of me, because I read it out. I talked about the Ulster-British tradition being "on proud display". I said that Orangeism is intrinsic and valued on this island, but I drew a…

  17. Debate contribution: Exclusion of the First Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998

    • Assembly Business

    The Member has raised good relations and has mentioned the money that has been, as he says, "poured into" it. May I ask, genuinely out of interest, given some of the remarks by his party leader over the past couple of days, including the use of the word "sanitise" and things like that — for many people, that was a…

  19. Debate contribution: Exclusion of the First Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998

    • Assembly Business

    For the sake of clarity up front, we will not support the various motions of no confidence in Ministers before the Assembly today. They are a distraction from what we actually need to do in this place. Let me say first of all that I and my party welcome the Secretary of State's decision to ban the parade. We should…

  20. Debate contribution: Health and Social Care: Pay Awards

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I will be brief. The Minister said that he wants to give workers a pay rise but that that cannot happen in the absence of an Executive Budget. Will he agree that, if we all get a pay rise but the many tens of thousands of healthcare workers who deserve a pay rise do not, it will bring this place into utter disrepute?

  21. Debate contribution: Public-sector Pay Rise

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    With the greatest respect, Mr Speaker, that is not good enough. Working for legal contingencies when the British Government could, at any minute, step in — a British Government who, we all agree, do not prioritise this place — and impose a Budget on this place, preventing pay rises, is a completely unacceptable…

  22. Debate contribution: Public-sector Pay

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, you said in your initial answer that the Executive cannot conclude public-sector pay deals without setting a Budget, and the Executive have not set a Budget. Will you confirm for public-sector workers who want to know when they will get their pay deal that, unless the Executive agree a Budget, they cannot…

    • Ministerial Statement

    My constituency colleague Ms Bradshaw has stolen part of my question, but I am happy with that. I, too, would like to ask about the Lagan pedestrian bridge. Minister, you have given an update, but I press for that to happen as soon as possible. Residents there were told that that bridge was delayed because of the A5…

    • Private Members' Business

    Thanks, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank all Members who participated in the debate. Since we became an Opposition nearly three years ago, we have been clear and consistent, boringly so, about the need for us to be a constructive Opposition, and we meant that. That is why our amendment does not go in for…

  25. Debate contribution: Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. We do not agree with the motion, but I am not sure that the motion will go to a Division. The Minister's party is not here, so I do not know how we can be expected to shout against it and express confidence in him if he has not even turned up.
