  1. Debate contribution: Irish-medium Education (Workforce Plan) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. The Member mentioned equality. I agree with her, completely, that equality is incredibly important. Does she agree that equality across all sectors of Northern Ireland's schools — controlled, maintained, integrated and Irish-medium — is important?

  2. Debate contribution: Irish-medium Education (Workforce Plan) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Second Stage of the Irish-medium Education (Workforce Plan) Bill. I plan to make just a few short points and concentrate on whether there is a necessity for it. The Deputy Chair and the Chair of the Education Committee have commented on that, and it is probably where the…

  3. Member's statement: K9 Search and Rescue

    • Members' Statements

    On Friday 27 March, Ryan Gray, a volunteer with K9 Search and Rescue, and his search dog, Max, were attacked by a group of 15 to 20 youths in Bangor. The police said the incident began after a verbal exchange, when the youths launched a vicious assault on Ryan and Max. Ryan suffered a fractured eye socket, loss of…

  4. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Will he accept that, with the way that the Bill is currently configured, the only question is this: what should the Education Minister not do — something that currently costs £21 million — in order to facilitate what is proposed?

  5. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for that contribution. He is exactly right that there was, at that time, a campaign by footballer Marcus Rashford — a Manchester United footballer, I believe. For transparency, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, at the time that that was introduced, I was a special adviser to the Education Minister who…

  6. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Bill sponsor for that response. If the Bill passes its Second Stage today, the Education Committee will look at those things. I understand the context in which he makes his points. I will pick up on the reference that his colleague who has just left the Chamber, the Member for South Down, made about having…

  7. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I will when I have made some progress. That would ensure that it does not come purely out of the Department of Education's budget but is instead ring-fenced by the Executive. I will give way to the Bill sponsor.

  8. Debate contribution: Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I had not planned to speak to the Bill, but I thought that you would prefer me to say something rather than make sustained interventions. I will pick up on the criticism that the Deputy Chair of the Education Committee made of the Minister for not answering a question. I will give the…

  9. Debate contribution: Waste Water Infrastructure: Developer Contributions

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Does the Minister accept that an increasing number of business organisations have lost faith in her three-pronged approach? Paul McErlean, the director of Build Homes NI, said recently that it is "wholly inadequate" and went on to say: "the public will pay the price of political inaction". Does she have another prong,…

  10. Debate contribution: Golf: Rory McIlroy's Back-to-back Masters Victories

    • Matters of the Day

    I also offer my congratulations to Rory because back-to-back Masters wins do not come around very often. When you look at the names of other golfers who have succeeded, such as Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, it puts his achievement into perspective. Rory is a native of my constituency. He comes from…
