Assessment details for Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage
The Member raises a very valid point in her intervention. I really welcome the intervention by the Bill sponsor, because I missed that the last time that I was speaking. The Bill sponsor talks about the detail of the Bill. Clause 1(4)(d) states: "whether the flag or emblem has been displayed for an excessive period of…

The Bill refers to "a new housing development". It could be any flag.

The Member says that in an intervention, but that is not what her Bill says.

I thank the Member for that intervention and for putting me right in that case. However, here is the truth: those in law-abiding areas will try to adhere to any regulations or laws that are placed upon them, but there are areas of this country where you cannot even collect TV licence money or take planning enforcement…

The Member makes a valid point, because he lives in the real world. We can have all the text that we want on a blue page, but, if it is unenforceable and unachievable, we will have legislation that is not worth the blue paper that it is printed on. That is the issue. The Member is right: law-abiding communities — the…

I agree that there is an issue in the community with people having to live, work, travel and commute under flags that they do not like or respect; I get that. What I am saying is that the Bill will not achieve the sponsor's desired outcomes. That is the issue. There is a perverseness with this. I know the sponsor does…

I thank the Bill sponsor for her intervention. Again, I welcome it; I missed it when we spoke previously on this motion. I went to great lengths to say what I said, because the Bill puts a burden on the Department and states: "The Department must remove a flag or emblem that is attached to public street furniture", so…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I do not intend to speak for long, as I have already gone through the Bill at great length. Many's a time we see tattered flags on lamp posts, which we all want to see taken down, but having gone through the Bill and spoken on it, I feel that the Bill is in tatters. It is a…

I thank the Member for giving way. He is absolutely right to be cautious and nervous, because we have Sinn Féin trying to dictate to an Education Minister on a welfare payment in summer months when schools are off, but we know rightly that a Sinn Féin Finance Minister will not finance the Education Minister adequately…

As Chairperson of the Committee for Justice, I welcome the opportunity to speak to this motion and set out the Committee's position in seeking this extension, which is until 22 January 2027. As I have done previously, I begin by placing on record the Committee's thanks to the Minister and her officials for their…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: Compassionate Temporary Release from Prison Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Compassionate Temporary Release from Prison
Every weekend, we seem to hear about an Alliance Party disaster or catastrophe, but I ask Members to cast their mind back to when 51 cattle were slaughtered in an open field in full view of the public on the watch of the Alliance Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Andrew Muir. I am glad to report…

Assessment details for Oral question AQO 3983/22-27 Official Assembly record for Oral question AQO 3983/22-27
One hundred per cent. The Member is correct. The issue is also clause 9, which is: "No right to claim trial by jury". I understand exactly where the Bill sponsor is coming from here. In the raft of legislation that we have passed in this House, there is no right to claim trial by jury, simply because of the trauma…

I agree about respect. We must be mindful of the hurt that is out there. I hope that the Member and the House will agree that I have been respectful the whole way through my contribution. However, he has already agreed that heterosexuality is a sexual orientation. That adds to that definition. I also want to address…

That was a helpful intervention by the Member. I teased out the question that I asked earlier about what is encapsulated by clause 6 and what the victim considers their sexual orientation or gender identity to be. It could be everything and anything. That is telling. I thank the Member for that intervention. A parent…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill: Second Stage
Yes — a very, very, very, very bad Bill and a very dangerous Bill, as I have outlined. I move on to suppression. Clauses 1 and 2 include references to "suppressing". What is it to "suppress" someone's "sexual orientation or gender identity"? Is it a parent saying, "You cannot do that", "You cannot view that", "You…
