  1. Debate contribution: Delirium Beds

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Health Minister for answering a question that was submitted as a question for written answer, and which was to be answered on 14 April 2025. That in itself is a question. There could be hundreds of people a year contracting delirium. How does the fact that there are only 28 beds — only six within the NHS —…

  2. Debate contribution: UK COVID-19 Inquiry Report

    • Matter of the Day

    My first thoughts are with the families who lost and suffered during the COVID years, when the Executive were making decisions on behalf of the people of this country. It is fair to say that the criticism from the Hallett report is damning, but it is also centred on decisions that Michelle O'Neill took in her time as…

  3. Motion or amendment: Policing Resources - Amendment 4

    • Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Policing Resources”

    Policing Resources - Amendment 4 Leave out all after ‘ensure that the PSNI’ and insert: ‘is properly resourced to protect the society it serves, in light of the PSNI workforce Recovery Plan, as outlined by the Chief Constable.’

  4. Debate contribution: Fireworks Legislation

    • Private Members' Business

    I think, Mr Deputy Speaker, that that merits a 10-minute extension for me. The Member makes a valid point. Imagine that you are a veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and that you happen to have a pet for company. Imagine the devastation in that one household. Based on that alone, the matter merits…

  5. Debate contribution: Fireworks Legislation

    • Private Members' Business

    I see merit in the motion and the amendment, and it is a pity that we cannot splurge the two together because, if the amendment passes, we lose something from the motion, but if the amendment is not made, we lose something by not having the amendment. It is a pity that the two cannot be splurged together. They are…

  6. Debate contribution: Deaths, Still-Births and Baby Loss Bill: Further Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I will limit my remarks to the amendment. The debate is welcome, and the amendment brought forward by the Minister is very much welcome. The Deaths, Still-Births and Baby Loss Bill is a very important piece of legislation for a number of reasons, one of which is that it deals with death. It is important, therefore,…

  7. Member's statement: Domestic Abuse (Safe Leave) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022

    • Members' Statements

    The Northern Ireland Assembly passed the Domestic Abuse (Safe Leave) Act in 2022. It was a private Member's Bill, but it was fully supported by the Minister for the Economy and the Economy Department, yet we still do not have it enacted. Why is the Minister for the Economy dragging her heels on that important issue?…

  8. Debate contribution: Windsor Framework: Ongoing Harm

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I support the motion. It is a very topical, serious issue for many of our constituents and businesses, small and large, and it is a big issue for many consumers who are trying to buy their wares from GB companies and are finding it increasingly difficult. I know from my…

  9. Debate contribution: EP Ballylumford Limited: Licence Obligations

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for her answer. Given her worrying differences with Invest NI, and given the fact that the Utility Regulator has had to step in on EP Ballylumford Limited, can she assure the House that she is fully across her brief and is ensuring that her Department's energy branch is protecting the consumers of…

  10. Debate contribution: Windsor Framework: Ongoing Harm

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. He points to the DUP's reason and motivation for tabling the motion, which is simply because we have been contacted by people, consumers and small businesses in our constituencies. It seems that the only MLAs who are being contacted about those issues are Members on this side of the…

  11. Written question AQW 35545/22-27

    • Department for Infrastructure

    To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any work currently being undertaken by her Department to ensure that the Waiting Restrictions (Giant's Causeway) Order (Northern Ireland) 2017 is fit for purpose and effective, in reducing the coach and car congestion problems in and around the Giant's Causeway area.

  12. Debate contribution: Digital ID Scheme: Opposition

    • Private Members' Business

    There is a very simple answer: do not comply. I will never have a digital ID. If everyone across the United Kingdom were to take that approach, the scheme could not be implemented. That is the exclusion that he is talking about. You do not need to create a differential between GB and here in order to create that…

  13. Debate contribution: Digital ID Scheme: Opposition

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I hear what the Member said about identity, and that is fine. However, does he realise that, if he were to change job or any of his family members were to go to GB to work, they would have to have the digital ID? Call it what you will, but they would have to have that ID, so why did…

  14. Debate contribution: Digital ID Scheme: Opposition

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. He alludes to the British character in not accepting ID, and so we should not. The debate has been illuminating for a number of reasons. The Member was not here, but his colleague was when the DUP and the TUV opposed vaccine certification. It has been illuminating to see that…

  15. Debate contribution: Digital ID Scheme: Opposition

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for his contribution and his Eurosceptic tendencies. However, there is one weakness in the motion: what about the workers from the Republic of Ireland who work in GB? They will get the digital ID card — or the BritCard, if they call it that. Sinn Féin has completely failed and discarded the people…
