An 29 Samhain, déanann na Náisiúin Aontaithe an Lá Idirnáisiúnta um Dhlúthpháirtíocht le Muintir na Palaistíne a chomóradh. Tugtar deis dúinn an lá sin ár machnamh a dhéanamh ar na huafáis laethúla atá muintir na Palaistíne a fhulaingt: cinedhíothú, glanadh eitneach, forghabháil neamhdhleathach, cinedheighilt,…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chéad-Aire as ucht an fhreagra sin. Does the First Minister believe that, rather than undermining workers' rights, we should work to support workers and avoid circumstances in which teachers and others feel the need to engage in industrial action?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chéad-Aire as a freagraí go dtí seo. The Minister will be aware that there is a thriving Irish language community in my constituency of West Belfast. We have the Gaeltacht Quarter, and many children are educated in Irish-medium schools. Does the First Minister believe that the appointment of…
Mr Sheehan asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they share his concern and those of many teachers who have contacted him with serious worries about the Minister of Education's proposals to criminalise teachers who refuse to cooperate with inspections in what is a routine part of trade union…
Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chéad-Aire as ucht a freagraí. It is evident from what the First Minister has been saying here today that cooperation and collaboration on an all-island basis is delivering positive outcomes for all our people, yet much more can and should be done. Does…
Israel is a rogue state. It is a terrorist state and a genocidal state. Its leaders are wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity. In the Gaza Strip, 65,000 people have been confirmed as having been killed by the Israeli military, and it is reckoned that tens of thousands…
To ask the Minister of Education whether any of his (i) officials; or (ii) staff, have refused to cooperate with the planning or management of a visit to Israel in 2026.

Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. First of all, there may be people watching this — sad, as they may be — who do not really understand the remit of the Assembly and Executive Review Committee. With regard to the proposed reforms of the institutions, the Committee will take evidence from experts, academics,…
I just wonder whether the Member would be prepared to comment on the eulogy that his leader gave to the paedophile and wife beater, Mr Tweed. Will he comment on that?
I heard Michelle make the same point about the First Minister and deputy First Minister bringing forward proposals for reform. It is like the academics who come to Committee and use broad brushstrokes, saying, "We cannot get this, that or the other". One party is to blame. We do not have tax-varying powers here…
I take your point about the line having been omitted, but you should take our amendment and the motion in the round. There is an implicit recognition of the need for reform. Like my colleague, I am surprised that the Alliance Party does not support our amendment.
The difficulty is that, with the Good Friday Agreement — we were warned by those who designed it — there is always the potential that, if you pull at a thread somewhere, it will unravel other parts of the agreement that we do not want to unravel. Therefore, we need to be absolutely clear, when we do nail our colours…
