  2. Debate contribution: Meat: Illegal Imports

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer. It did not have a lot of detail. When it comes to smuggling illegal meat or smuggling anything, smugglers will look for the easiest route. What do we do here to protect ourselves from illegal meat-smuggling through the Republic of Ireland into Northern Ireland?

  3. Debate contribution: Rural Community Halls: Funding

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Minister's answer was very honest. He will be aware that a number of conversations are happening at the moment about the lack of cross-departmental cooperation. This is an example of where perhaps that could have been better, given the rural aspect of the question from the DUP Member. Rural halls very often lack…

    Mr Butler asked the Minister of Education, given that the one-man wave machine that is President Trump punched down on the autistic community when he said that paracetamol consumption leads to autism, and given that many families who are concerned because some of the advice is neither fit nor fair have been in…

    I beg to move Thank you. Mr Deputy Speaker. First, I declare an interest, because of Nurse Butler and Nurse Hancock, my wife and my daughter, as the debate will impact on them.

  12. Debate contribution: A5 Western Transport Corridor Scheme

    • Opposition Business

    I will be quick. I just caution that, even when the road is upgraded, there will be inherent dangers, as with any road, to do with things such as speed. It would be wrong to send a message that delivery of the road absolves anybody of the responsibility to drive appropriately.

  13. Debate contribution: A5 Western Transport Corridor Scheme

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I may not use my five minutes. A lot has been said during the debate, and, as I laid out when I moved the amendment, having three mutually exclusive amendments shows the amount of thought that all parties have put into it. The debate has shown that we are all singularly on one track and…

  14. Debate contribution: A5 Western Transport Corridor Scheme

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. When the motion came out and the amendments went in, I thought that seeing three amendments that are mutually exclusive should send some message of comfort to the families in that area who have been bereaved. The fact that 50 people have lost their life on that stretch of road since 2007…
