The First Minister will be aware that people from the arts sector and artists recently came to Parliament Buildings as part of a campaign to save the arts. In their meeting with MLAs, they said that the fleadh's success had come off the back of their many years of hard work that had led up to the event. For example,…

We all have to undergo safeguarding and child protection training. We know that we should never enter that space or entertain that conversation at all. There are ways in which we can refer people, and we can provide them with reassurance, but we certainly would not get into a conversation of anywhere near that depth.
I am sitting here in disbelief. I coach a young girls' hockey team. It is so foreign to me to think that we would, in any way, have such a conversation or entertain it. It just would not happen. I do not know where you are plucking that theory from. It is so far from what actually happens on a Sunday or Monday…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I have sat listening to Mr Burrows's contribution. First, Mr Deputy Speaker, can you confirm that private Members' Bills are produced with the support of the Bill Office by professional drafters who are paid for out of public money? Secondly, Mr Burrows, we would not have to…
I am happy to clarify. As I have said, we want to support people to celebrate and commemorate things such as world wars. We want to support people to do that and to give them the opportunity, should they wish to do so, to advise people of that. We also need to ensure that flags come down. I read into the record last…

First of all, I would like to put on the record that I wrote to all the political parties on 7 July, including Mr Carroll's party, and offered a briefing and a sit-down over the summer to allow them to go through such queries. I could have talked them through the Bill. I remind you of…
You were not in the Chamber for the whole debate. I suggested that the Committee might look at situations in which there had been a determination that flags should come down. The Committee may seek to do that within a reasonable time. I have addressed that.
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I do not go by "Mrs Bradshaw". I am married to a man called Mr Parsley. I am Ms Bradshaw. I had to tolerate it in the previous debate, but if anyone is referring to me, I would appreciate their calling me "Ms Bradshaw". I am not "Mrs Bradshaw"; that was my mother.…
