  1. Debate contribution: Age Discrimination (Goods, Facilities and Services) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you. I concur with your thought that we should not use the Equality Act as the baseline. When we conducted our inquiry into gaps in equality legislation, there was feedback that the Act in Great Britain is not perfect and could be modernised and added to. I appreciate your intervention there. The Bill sponsor…

  2. Debate contribution: Age Discrimination (Goods, Facilities and Services) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you. I appreciate that clarification. That is certainly worth noting as we scrutinise the Bill. There is a question about what constitutes "goods" and "services". They are probably defined in legislation somewhere, but we probably need to look at the practical application of that terminology. I cannot help but…

  4. Debate contribution: Age Discrimination (Goods, Facilities and Services) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you for that. A similar area concerns policy decisions relating to Translink about who is eligible for concessionary fares, for example.

  6. Debate contribution: Age Discrimination (Goods, Facilities and Services) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I will pick up on the point about car insurance. As you know, a lot of providers and underwriters do not provide a service in Northern Ireland. Is there a danger that an unintended consequence of the new financial requirements could be fewer providers in Northern Ireland?

  8. Debate contribution: Age Discrimination (Goods, Facilities and Services) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. The concern that I raised at Committee was that you need to be 18 to enter a contract, so, as far as I am concerned, if you went and booked a hotel room, you would be entering a contract. I still have not got my head around how you would square that with people between 16 and 17…

  9. Debate contribution: Prisoners: Early Removal Scheme

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, you have been clear that it is the responsibility of the Home Office to manage the removal of foreign national prisoners where appropriate. Will you please outline what procedures are in place with the Home Office for the deportation of foreign nationals who have been given custodial sentences in Northern…

  10. Debate contribution: Armed Forces Covenant

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    As you know, First Minister, we support the implementation of the armed forces covenant, and we do so because we recognise the fact that everyone from this country deserves to have protections in law when they are being disadvantaged. Your Department is responsible for equality legislation. Please outline any efforts…

  11. Debate contribution: Public Petition: Safe Crossing at Lough View Integrated Primary and Nursery School

    • Assembly Business

    Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. I am pleased to present the petition, which was organised by Lough View parents' council and has been signed by 1,084 people. It calls for the installation of a safe designated school crossing on Church Road outside Lough View Integrated Primary and Nursery School to protect…

  12. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you. I suppose that that is why I raised the issue of the lack of the investment strategy, because we need to move beyond each political cycle. Civil servants will come and go and Budgets will fluctuate, but we need a course of action to ensure that this generation and future generations have the facilities and…

  13. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    • Opposition Business

    I support the motion, although I find some elements of it vague and contradictory. I was hoping that the proposer would clear those up for me. Unfortunately, he did not. No one can dispute that Northern Ireland's DUP/Sinn Féin duopoly leaves increasingly difficult challenges untouched while it engages in a series of…

  14. Debate contribution: St Andrews Agreement: 20 Years On

    • Opposition Business

    Clearly, we have no issue with the original motion, especially with regard to securing progress on policing and justice and the wider need for reform to provide stability in the institutions. However, our amendment is important because, without it, the motion is a fair statement of facts but, we feel, lacks solutions.…

  16. Debate contribution: Residential Properties: Regulation of Management

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Finance Minister for the update. It is a really important issue for my constituents in South Belfast. Minister, do you have any idea of how many management company structures there are in Northern Ireland? The issues are complex. I have worked on five or six cases with different problems with management…

  17. Debate contribution: A5: Court of Appeal Judgement

    • Ministerial Statement

    Minister, I join you and others in the Chamber in welcoming today's court ruling. I pay tribute to the families who have campaigned for far too long for that announcement. Minister, you will be aware that the Lagan pedestrian and cycle bridge has been delayed because of the court proceedings. Can you please give a…

    Thank you, First Minister, for coming to the Chamber. You will not be surprised that my question focuses on reconciliation. We are still working under the 2013 framework for Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) and the good relations strategy, and work on the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and…

  19. Debate contribution: Further Education: Arts Sector

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you, Minister. You will be aware that, a few weeks ago, a lot of arts sector representatives were at Stormont. Amongst their asks was that there would be the continued development of people in that sector. Your initial response outlined quite a number of areas in which people can get involved. Many others and I…

  20. Debate contribution: Victims’ Payments Board: Oversight

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Last week, I heard from a constituent who spent two and a half hours going through the process and then had her application turned down. She is too devastated to appeal the decision. You have indicated that there have been over 16,000 applications. I think that I am right in saying that, to date, only 35% to 40% of…

  21. Debate contribution: First Minister: Pledge of Office

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Given the severity of the issue and the need for the House and the wider community to know what will happen about peace and reconciliation, could we please have one hour for the question for urgent oral answer to the First Minister as opposed to the usual 30 minutes?

  22. Debate contribution: Clean Air Strategy: Urban Areas

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you very much for that update, Minister. Air quality is a crucial issue in South Belfast, which has so much traffic flowing through it daily. What is your assessment of the link between air pollution and public health? Moreover, how will the draft strategy be received by the health sector?

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. You know well that I suggested at the Business Committee today that we come back tomorrow and, if we do not complete, we come back on Thursday. As far as I am concerned, that would have been two full plenary days that I was up for. I also said that I would be prepared to work through…

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I appreciate that, and I have an extensive summation. However, if the Bill passes the Second Stage, I am happy to engage with the Infrastructure Committee on the points that have been raised. I am content for the Question to be put. The Deputy Speakers who have sat in the Chair over…
