  1. Debate contribution: Coeliac Disease: Diagnostic Pathways

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer and for outlining where we are with the early diagnosis of coeliac disease. I thank him for his commitment on the issue to try to ensure that we have the best and most expeditious diagnostic pathways. Will the Minister commit to meeting some representatives of Coeliac UK to discuss…

  2. Member's statement: Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility

    • Members' Statements

    On Thursday of last week, I was made aware that the Children's Commissioner, Mr Chris Quinn, had endorsed the position where no young person under 16 should be prosecuted for serious crimes such as rape, murder or sexual assault. I offer full credit to David Thompson, the 'News Letter' journalist, for highlighting…

  3. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thanks, Danny. For one wee second, I did not think that I was your friend any more, given the way you were talking about me. The Member says that he supports inspection, but he does not support inspection enough to make sure that it happens in our schools. How important does the Member think inspection is?

  4. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I want to check that his understanding of the Bill is the same as mine. There has been a lot of chat about it banning strike action and so forth. Is his understanding the same as mine: that the Bill does not ban strike action or action short of strike but looks at a very specific…

  5. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    The common theme in what you outlined was children. That is whom we are here to protect. We are here to make their lives better. Adults — voters and Members of the Assembly — can have political views on those things, but, ultimately, we are not here to protect the interests of special groups or to protect this group…

  6. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you, Pat. I understand it. I am not sure that people out there in the real world will completely follow what has gone on in your party. The Members opposite have said that they have got teachers' backs, "You guys are safe with us", and so forth. What I think has happened today is that, over the weekend, you…

  7. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    We have been debating the Bill for a couple of hours now, colleagues, and I feel more confused by certain positions than I did when I came into the Chamber at around 3.30 pm. The Bill is not designed to punish teachers; it is about inspection. It has four clauses, some of which we have dealt with in some detail this…

  8. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. She is always very gracious to me. I commend her for speaking directly about the Bill and for mentioning the Northern Ireland Audit Office report. She said that safeguarding is everyone's business: to an extent, I agree. The report states: "ETI is the only organisation in Northern…

  9. Debate contribution: Irish-medium Education: Specialist Provision in Mainstream Schools

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    What oversight arrangements are in place to review decisions to establish new specialist provision in mainstream schools by the Education Authority?
