  1. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Language Body

    • Ministerial Statement

    Thank you, Minister. Part of what I wanted to ask was about the funding for Irish language groups through the medium of the arts, which Mrs Mason talked about. Foras na Gaeilge initially said that some of its youth festival schemes across the island of Ireland were at risk because of the funding formula. That was this…

  2. Debate contribution: Sports Museum

    • Private Members' Business

    I am not happy to go after "Mr Local Football" when talking about sporting issues. Given its Olympic and Commonwealth medals, its all-Ireland club titles and world-beating motor sport success, I will focus a little on my constituency of North Antrim, which has produced excellence across individual and team sports and…

    • Committee Business

    First, I thank the former, independent Commissioner for Standards, Dr Melissa McCullough, the Committee and all others involved in the response to the complaint. What we have is an independent, considered and expert-led outcome. I remind others that the content of the report is the only basis for today's debate.…

  4. Debate contribution: Reval2026

    • Ministerial Statement

    Thank you, Minister, for coming to the Chamber. In your statement, you referenced the business growth accelerator policy, which was discussed last summer during my conversations with businesses in North Antrim on the Reval process. They talked a little bit about the business growth accelerator programme that is…

  5. Member's statement: Mental Health Disability and Learning Disability: Funding

    • Members' Statements

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Again, under Standing Order 24A(6)(b) and (d) Members' statements must not: "relate to a matter scheduled for debate in the Assembly;" and must not: "be used to impugn or to attack another member." I believe that the Member for North Antrim Mr Gaston did both during his Member's…

  7. Debate contribution: Committee for Standards and Privileges Report: Ministerial Response

    • Questions for Urgent Oral Answer

    Does the Minister believe that the ministerial code has any meaning whatsoever, if Ministers can reject the findings on a breach not once, but twice, and face no consequences? The public cannot hold you to account, Minister, and this Assembly cannot hold you to account. Is that correct?

  8. Debate contribution: Legislative Change

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Take the anti-poverty strategy, for example, Minister. Academics have raised with me the fact that some references in the draft strategy go back as far as 2008. In fact, there is Joseph Rowntree Foundation research from 2012, which has been updated. What can your Department do to ensure that you liaise with academics…

    • Department for Communities

  13. Debate contribution: Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you. Yes. Inclusion has been not only talked about but acted on. Belfast City Council has actively engaged with the Belfast Bands Forum and the Orange Order, recognising that inclusion is not accidental: it is intentional. That outreach by Ards CCE has sent a powerful message — one that I could not agree with…
