  2. Debate contribution: Prisons: Staffing Levels

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for her answer. Whilst my question was very much about the increasing prison estate, she will also understand that high-profile prisoners taking up residence in our facilities has a ripple effect in those establishments. In light of the recent high-profile imprisonment, can the Minister give us an…

  3. Member's statement: Freya Terris: Young Pianist

    • Members' Statements

    Today, I want to talk about a very talented young girl from Lisburn called Freya Terris. Freya, who is 17 years old, attends Friends' School and studies the piano under former Lisburn resident Rory Dowse. Freya is an incredibly accomplished young pianist and has performed in the Ulster Hall. She gave a keynote talk at…

    To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department has carried out any assessment of the preparatory policy work that must be completed during the current 2022-2027 Assembly mandate to enable a comprehensive Gambling Bill, covering remote and non-remote gambling, to be introduced in the 2027-2032 Assembly…

  7. Member's statement: Sexual Offence Cases: Protected Complainants

    • Members' Statements

    Everyone will agree with me that there can be no compromise when it comes to protecting children and those who have suffered from sexual abuse. The law is absolutely clear: the anonymity afforded to complainants in sexual offence cases is not an optional courtesy but a legal protection that exists to safeguard victims…

  8. Debate contribution: Jeffrey Donaldson: Further Revelations

    • Matter of the Day

    This has to be one of the most difficult topics that any of us will ever speak on because we have to be incredibly careful with our words so that we do not deflect from the pain and horror that was inflicted on the victims in this case, and in every case of sexual violence against women, girls and boys. After last…

  9. Debate contribution: Hunting with Dogs Bill: Extension of Committee Stage

    • Committee Business

    On behalf of the AERA Committee, I request an extension to the Committee Stage of the Hunting with Dogs Bill to 5 February 2027. That date was agreed after discussions in Committee on 11 June 2026, and I will now outline the reasons why the Committee agreed to request that extension of the Committee Stage. The…

    I thank the Member for his lengthy and detailed answer. I pay tribute to the Education Service, Usher Services and the events team, all of which provide an exemplary service here. It is with pride that we share this Building with them. Does the Member agree that, by making people aware that they can come into the…

  11. Member's statement: Outdoor Recreation Strategy

    • Members' Statements

    I rise today to highlight the urgent need for a new outdoor recreation strategy for Northern Ireland. The latest People in the Outdoors Monitor provides compelling evidence of the value that people place on our natural environment. Some 70% of adults spend time outdoors in natural places at least once a week,…

  12. Debate contribution: Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill: Further Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    At the outset, I want to be absolutely clear that the Ulster Unionist Party continues to support fully the overall purpose behind what is a really important Bill. The experiences of people who spent time in mother-and-baby institutions, Magdalene laundries and workhouses are deeply distressing and resonate not only…

  13. Debate contribution: Public Appointments

    • Opposition Business

    As an Ulster Unionist spokesperson, I support the motion, not because we believe that every public appointment made in Northern Ireland is flawed or that those who serve on our public bodies do not bring valuable skills and experience — many do — but because public confidence is what matters. In reality, trust in…

  16. Debate contribution: Dilapidation Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I do not, for a single moment, dispute the point that you made; it is a good and well-made point. However, in reality, subsection (2) of some of the first few clauses states that "the council may" exercise its powers. The Bill does not mean that a council must act. A council "may"…

  20. Debate contribution: Together for Families

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer. How will the money that the National Lottery has pledged reflect the confidence that it has in the ability of a project such as Together for Families to turn around the lives of young people who desperately need such intervention and the value that it places on that?

    • Private Members' Business

    The Member makes really good points, and the purpose of scrutiny is to ensure that there are no unintended consequences. Does the Member have any data on the legislation that was passed in Scotland, Wales or England? Some of that is now 20 years old. The Bill sponsor has suggested that there is no evidence to uphold…

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. We are conflating two issues. The Member did not ask whether game was on the menu. The Member was asking about whether game that you were going to eat and which was on the menu would have been hunted down by a dog and killed by a dog, not lifted by a dog after it had been shot. Do…
