  1. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I never mentioned majority. What I said was "single-party unionist regime". Those were the old days, when you could push through whatever you wanted in a ramstam way. In 50 years, nationalists succeeded in having only one piece of legislation enacted, and that was about wild birds. Those days are over. They are gone,…

  2. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I agree with what you say, insofar as children should be at the centre of the Bill.

  5. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    It is not the responsibility of anyone other than the Education Minister to change his own draft legislation. You see, you are using terminology that has a completely different meaning here on the Floor of the Assembly, where people can amend legislation that comes on to the Floor of the Assembly. Were we happy with…

    • Executive Committee Business

    First of all, Sinn Féin did not amend anything. The Minister changed his own draft legislation. That is what happened. However, we were not in favour of teachers being criminalised. We were not then and we are not now. That is why we allowed it to follow the democratic and legislative route: on to the Floor of the…
