I thank the Members who tabled the motion. I support the motion, which seeks to address the scourge of animal cruelty in Northern Ireland. As a society that often describes itself as animal-loving, we should hold ourselves to the highest account in how we treat the most defenceless amongst us, which includes animals,…

I beg to move I thank the Minister for attending the debate on this important motion, because access to quality education is a fundamental right for every child, regardless of their abilities or circumstances. The educational journey for children who are deaf or hard of hearing can be filled with unnecessary…

I thank the Minister for giving way. It is an important issue. I talked last week about the need to review the performance and non-performance of the Executive. To be clear, the Minister has read out that the impact of not having Stormont or Ministers in post for five years has been a deterioration in the condition of…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: River Basin Management Plan Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: River Basin Management Plan
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. The motion on the failure of the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to meet the deadlines for the river basin management plan reflects a critical issue that is both urgent and, dare I say it, a little fluid. The fundamental failures identified in the motion relate…

I thank the Minister for standing in for the Justice Minister. It is an incredibly sensitive time to be speaking. We had reports yesterday of a young child in Dungannon losing their life in suspicious circumstances, and a number of people have been arrested. Inarguably, young people are disproportionately affected…

I thank the Minister for her answer. Some legislation is passing through Westminster. Certainly, a White Paper was produced, and I believe that the Labour Government will bring that through. Will the Minister's Department work with the UK Government on that, and, if we do not have the facility or recourse here, can we…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: School Transport Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: School Transport
I thank the Minister for his update and the news of a new digital solution, but I do not think that the digital solution will reach into the policy failures here. It is a draconian transport policy. We see failures every year, particularly around the transfer test, with parents having to opt for schools that do not…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. This is my first speech as Chair of the Committee for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs. It is not the speech that I would have wished for, as I was not in the Chair for the scrutiny of these regulations; that was, in fact, my predecessor, Lord Elliott. My Committee…

Mr Butler asked the Minister of Finance, having noted that he asked the Minister a couple of weeks ago about management companies and their impact, to provide an update on any changes, because, while her Department was good enough to write back to him, he is not sure that they are any further forward, and the problems…

I fully support the motion with, like the Member who just spoke, a particular emphasis on the value of prevention, early intervention and ongoing support for our children and young people. The motion should be more than just words: it should be about demonstrating in our words and, more importantly, our actions, that…

I thank the Minister for giving way. He will forgive my ignorance — I am just chipping in to the discussion — but I think that we are all facing the same direction when it comes to our environmental credentials and the ambition of farmers. As a former butcher, I remember Brazilian beef coming in. Is there not a risk…

Thanks for your clarity, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, as to how the motion and the amendments will be taken and how we will vote on that. I welcome the motion from the Sinn Féin Member and the amendments that have been tabled. They are all pitching in the right direction, which is in support and recognition of the…

I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. If we continue to repeat the sins of the past, we will never get any better. In my estimation, it is unarguable that the failure to have government here for five years out of eight impacted on our ability to have a Programme for Government and on people's lives. Will…
