I am distraught about the level of the debate, which is on a very serious subject. It has been reduced to a zero-sum game. It has been about unionists being pitted against nationalists. It was horrendous to hear some of the language that was uttered in the Chamber over the past number of minutes. There is absolutely…
FlaggedDecided on a second assessment.Immigration, asylum, race, ethnicity and TravellersCriteria met: Dog-whistle messaging.
I rise to raise awareness of a meeting that took place last week, on Tuesday 13 May, when Vaccine Injured and Bereaved Support (VIBS) NI took a delegation of bereaved and injured people to meet the Health Minister to talk about their conditions, their symptoms and their loss. I must say that they got hope from that…
I support the motion and the extension date of 1 October 2025. It is important that we have a consultation period and a period of scrutiny, not least because the Bill has not had a normal lead-in consultation period. That is simply because it is establishing what is already a norm in the registration of deaths and…
I rise to speak in yet another Budget debate. I do not know if I am being punished, but I end up speaking on all finance-related matters, including the Budget. I must have been a bad boy in another life or in another guise. My heart goes out to the Minister, as this is a set-piece Budget debate in which Chairs of…
I applaud the motion and the Member who moved it. I thank her and her party for that. I also thank my colleagues who tabled amendment No 1, which strengthens the motion on tackling the impact of online harms on young people. I have listened intently to Members talk about the dangers of online harm and the online…
Thank you, deputy First Minister. Maybe the reason that we cannot get that data is the real fear and concern that some victims have about the terrorist threat. Does the deputy First Minister agree that the crass and hurtful glorification of terrorism by the First Minister goes against the ministerial code of conduct…
I support the motion from my party colleagues Ms Diane Dodds and Mr Alan Robinson. I place on record our satisfaction and our gratitude to Diane and Alan for the sterling work that they do on the Health Committee in representing the people and, secondly, this party and its views and policies. It is service that is…
Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I will talk about the amazing spectacle that is the North West 200, which was held last week. I record my sincere thanks to and appreciation for the clerk of the course, Stanleigh Murray, as well as Mervyn Whyte and the rest of the team. They put on a tremendous spectacle for…
I am horrified at the scenes in what is a war-torn land in Israel and the Gaza Strip, and I worry about the activities there. There are clear rules of engagement in war. There are clear rules in the Geneva convention, and there are clear rules in international law. The laws of a state should also be adhered to. I hope…
To ask the Minister for Communities, pursuant to AQW 25447/22-27, to detail the amount spent on vehicles under the Motability scheme in each of the last ten years.
I am a Member who has been desperately frustrated at the continuing extension of this power, because I believe that the Assembly should reflect on everything that it did around the Coronavirus Act 2020, the harm that it caused our people and the role that the Executive and the Assembly played in that harm.…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the number of applications to the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme from North Antrim.
Given that the report states that there is an increased risk in managing sexual offenders, will the Minister give credence to undertaking a review of the wider Public Protection Arrangements for Northern Ireland (PPANI) and the police's position within them?
The Member makes a valid point. A lot of what the Member is saying goes to the heart of governance, and I have sympathy for that argument, but does he realise that our Government's governance is temporary, whereas, in this place, parties tend to be in government permanently? That is a massive difference.
