    The First Minister will be very aware that, in my constituency, in Derry, people's reality of the British Army is enshrined by the fact that 14 people were murdered on the streets of my city on Bloody Sunday, and many more were injured.

    Minister, you have outlined some of the key work that you have already done on the issue, but improving skills and workforce planning are at the heart of any reform.

    I thank the Members for tabling the motion. I welcome it, and there is definitely merit in looking at that, as other Members have said, and exploring the opportunities and seeing what works best.

    Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank all those who participated in the debate, which has been really interesting.

  13. Debate contribution: Economic Trends on the Island of Ireland

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. The Member seems to have missed the point of the motion. The motion is about cooperation; it is not about taking away or reducing our east-west relationships. It is about enhancing all-Ireland relations and economic opportunity. For example, in 2021 —.

    No, thank you. Fortunately, we have two Sinn Féin MEPs, who continue to stand up for the people of the North in Europe. Fast-forward 10 years, and the necessary steps have been put in place to mitigate the worst excesses of Brexit. The Windsor framework is now an established part of our economic and trading landscape.…

  16. Debate contribution: EU Office in Belfast

    • Private Members' Business

    I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion and, indeed, to focus on the economic benefits of an EU office. In 2016, the people of the North voted to remain in Europe.
