  1. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    • Questions for Urgent Oral Answer
    • As a minister

    As First Minister, I am fully committed to the Good Friday Agreement and everything that flows from that seminal agreement, including the ministerial code and the Pledge of Office. I am also fully committed to the right, set out explicitly in the Good Friday Agreement, to freedom from sectarian harassment, and I stand…

    Uncertain: close call Sectarianism, hate crime and community relations Criteria met: Identity framing, Cultural grievance politics, Dog-whistle messaging.

  2. Member's statement: Garvaghy Road: Community

    • Members' Statements
    • As a minister

    I find it interesting that the Members on the Benches opposite who had so much to say about my defence of the Garvaghy Road residents have scurried out of the Chamber, just when I have something to say about that issue. Much has been said this morning. I was with the Garvaghy Road community over the past few days, and…

    Qualifying Sectarianism, hate crime and community relations Criteria met: Identity framing, Cultural grievance politics.

  3. Debate contribution: Summit of Devolved Administration Leaders

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    Yes, I absolutely do. We have the Good Friday Agreement. My generation's gift was the Good Friday Agreement, and I believe in working it to the nth degree. I believe in it, and I believe in being here every day despite the challenging arrangement that we have. I believe in trying to make politics work despite the…

  4. Debate contribution: Summit of Devolved Administration Leaders

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    Thank you. I was really delighted to see that it got so much attention at home, because it was such a momentous opportunity and very much builds on the elections and the historic breakthroughs of First Ministers in Scotland and Wales who all have their own journeys and their own political identities. We are all…

  5. Debate contribution: Orange Order Marches

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    Yes, I do. That was very evident and on display at the show at the weekend. It is clear that the DUP wants to look backwards. It is very much about blatant electioneering. It is about the DUP covering up for everything else that is going on — the summer of scandal, as you called it. It is all about deflection and…

  6. Debate contribution: Orange Order Marches

    • As a minister

    I thank the Member for the question, which is very topical given that the adjudication will be made this week. As I have done repeatedly throughout recent weeks, I send my full support and solidarity to the people of the Garvaghy Road. That is a very strong and proud community, as you have heard our colleague John…

  7. Debate contribution: Air Travel Disruption

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I will come back to the Member on any detailed conversations that we have had. Certainly, questions have been asked. There was big disruption that caused real havoc for people for a few days. The British Government have to get to the bottom of it. We cannot keep having that interruption. While, obviously, it is not a…

  8. Debate contribution: Social Housing

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    As the Minister — I elevated you there. As the Member will know, the Infrastructure Minister has invested in waste water infrastructure with the ability that she has within the funding that she has been given. An extra 5,300 homes have been unlocked as a direct result of what she has done. When the Minister brings her…

  9. Debate contribution: Social Housing

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    As the Member knows, that is an issue that we have raised repeatedly. The deputy First Minister and I have raised it with every Prime Minister that we have had to deal with in recent years, and we have raised it with Secretaries of State. We continually raise it as part of our Budget discussions. If we are to build…

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    — about the courts. I know, but be honest. When you say that there is a problem, name it and diagnose it as what it is. Yes, there are things that are stuck that we want to see advanced quicker but have not been. Yes, there are things that the DUP has turned its mind towards thwarting at every turn. You would be…

  11. Debate contribution: Public Trust in Stormont

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    What a preamble. Our job in here is to try to make politics work. The public are very tuned into how difficult this arrangement is. They are very tuned into the complexity of the situation and know who wants to move forward and who wants to look backwards. They are very tuned into who is blatantly sectarian in their…

  12. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I am not going to take away from the success of the fleadh. It was excellent in Derry, and it was excellent in Belfast. Let us bid for it to come to the North again. The learning from hosting the fleadh this year will be applied to next year's event. Today, as we speak, the Minister for Infrastructure and the Minister…

  13. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    The efforts of volunteers across the board, including St John Ambulance, played a role, as did the statutory agencies, such as the PSNI. The way in which they all worked together showed that we can host an event of that scale and can do it well because of what we have here. The capacity of the volunteers was second to…

  14. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    Like the Member, I engage with many people from across the arts, and they often make the comparison with the support for artists in the South. We do not have that here, which is unfortunate, because we have so many amazing artists. We have a talented base here. We need to find ways to support them, and the summer's…

  15. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    — so let me give you the answer. That is what a new Ireland looks like: a society that is based on inclusion, that is fair across the board, that allows us to celebrate our identity and who we are and that does not allow one to diminish the other. You do not build your own identity by diminishing another, to quote…

    I am glad that your request is that I be cloned so that I can be everywhere all the time. Thank you, Phillip. You cannot get to everything at the fleadh. It was a huge success. There was so much that I did not get to go to this year but will go to next year. The fleadh demonstrated the best of us — absolutely; all day…

    • As a minister

    Before I answered the first question, I should have welcomed the Member back from her maternity leave and congratulated her on her baby twins. I do not think that I have had the chance to do that in the Chamber thus far. I agree with the Member. Planning for next year is already well under way. The fact that we…

    Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann really was an incredible success. It brought together people from across these islands and around the world to celebrate our music, our culture and our diversity and created an incredible atmosphere that many will remember for years to come. I was delighted, alongside the deputy First…

  19. Debate contribution: Executive Budget: Public Services

    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    Matthew, I can tell you that all four parties of the Executive are deploying every effort to get a Budget: that is our endeavour. Do you know why Scotland is not knocking on the door or why Wales has agreed a Budget? Because they have more money, because they got a fairer settlement. People here deserve exactly the…
