  4. Debate contribution: Cost-of-living Crisis

    • Private Members' Business

    When the Assembly was restored in February 2024, the first motion that was tabled and agreed in the Chamber was to demand that the British Government fairly fund this place. All parties supported that and demanded better from Westminster and the Treasury. It is that one voice and unity of purpose that allow us to make…

  6. Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way on that. We have heard the phrase "chilling effect" time and time again. It is, frankly, ridiculous, because the chilling effect that has been had on the LGBTQIA+ community by political unionism here for 100 years is the real "chilling effect". The fact that people in the LGBTQIA+…

  7. Debate contribution: Artificial Intelligence Strategy

    • Opposition Business

    I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion. As we all know, AI is moving quickly. The motion rightly raises concerns about data centres, particularly the pressure that they can place on electricity, water and wider infrastructure. My colleagues in the 26 counties and Europe have raised similar concerns. In the…

  11. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    OK. Thank you very much. Thanks for that. We have made it clear from the start that holding the entire Executive to one standard will fail. You will curtail individual Ministers who are delivering real change. Look at what has been achieved in the past three years. Through this Bill, you will potentially curtail…

  17. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I want to come back to the Executive point, because it is the one that I am really concerned about. When you say that you are going to check how the Executive are performing against one standard, you are setting yourself up for failure, because you are holding the fact that there is…

  19. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you. I suppose that I am talking about the wholescale blockage of any progress. I understand that what you suggest and what is in the Bill is about trying to advance across all Departments, and I am absolutely supportive of that. However, I am realistic as well, and the reality is that that might not be the…

  21. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I agree with a lot of what he has said. On your point about the Executive, I will raise a constructive concern. I have a worry, which I hope that others across the Chamber, including yourself, will have picked up on, about the fact that this potentially gives the DUP a break and…

  22. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. This is a brilliant Bill. It is about enhancement; I share in your comments on that. One of the things that can be enhanced — hopefully, we can do this at Committee Stage — is data sharing to ensure that we do not do something independently that has a potentially negative impact on…

  23. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I have two points to make. First, we are talking about Belfast in a very generic sense. I very much recognise that there are areas in Belfast that do not get the investment that they need and that have historically not got the investment that they need, particularly North Belfast,…

  25. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member, and I welcome that. I have noted both of those points. It is about how we strengthen that to ensure that there is an impetus on the South to do that as well. I agree with what is there, but we can enhance that and create a stronger framework. My worry is that border communities such as ours may not…
