Reassessment in progress: every record is being assessed again under the updated rubric. 34,062 of 97,616 records done (34.9%). Rankings are paused until it finishes, so results from the old and new rubrics are never mixed. Progress details

I thank the Minister for her answer. I think that it was no, but she did not really say that. Minister, you did, however, reference the coastal forum, which you co-chair with the AERA Minister. As far as I am aware, that has met once in the past two and a half years. Donaghadee urgently needs upgraded coastal defences…
The Member is always very gracious, and I feel like we are trading proverbs this morning. On the point about Sinn Féin's lawlessness, I often say to my children that we take responsibility for our own actions, not for other people's. Does the Member agree that there are lawful parties in the Chamber and that…

We had deep concerns around a…

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the public awareness that her Department provides around the risk of flooding to (i) domestic; and (ii) non-domestic properties.

I am speaking to amendment No 6, Madam Principal Deputy…
My comments on the Bill will be brief, but they will reflect my party's position. I reiterate what the Education Minister said: the Bill has been brought forward by its sponsor with good intent. The concept of ending hunger amongst our children is admirable; in fact, the Assembly should aim to do that. I will come…
I thank the Chair of the Education Committee for allowing me an intervention. He has made a whole range of points, some of which I agree with and some of which I do not agree with. I was quite struck, however, by the examples that he used on the way through his contribution. He cited a few, and I will not repeat them…
