Tackling the Rise in Dangerous Potholes on our Roads - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘including 97,897 potholes;’ and insert: ‘welcomes the Minister for Infrastructure’s new draft Road Maintenance Strategy which sets out a clear vision for how roads will be managed and maintained over the coming years with increased…
I thank the Member for giving way. Does the Member agree that Mr Burrows, the now leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, who spent the first weeks of his time in the Chamber talking about koi carp and pandas falling out of trees, has no credibility when he lectures others on wasting time in the Chamber?

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I heard you at the start regarding moderating the debate. This debate is not about context or about anybody else other than the alleged breach by Timothy Gaston. Are we going to stick to the matter, or are we going to allow a free-for-all?
Minister, the arrogance that you continue to display and your complete inability to accept your own failings is truly breathtaking. We all recall the violent scenes at Larne Leisure Centre last summer. Do you accept that your comments may have heightened tensions further and contributed to the unrest?
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. What has just happened here in Question Time is highly irregular. Is it convention, or is it in Standing Orders, that you prevent Members from asking questions? It is Question Time, after all. Furthermore, given that the Communities Minister was up for Question Time, I question whether…
On Friday, we buried Mickey Brady. As we said goodbye to one Newry legend, another Newry legend was being born, as Rachel Duffy was soon to win 'The Traitors' in the most amazing style. Apparently, us Newry women now have the reputation of being ruthless and treacherous, and we certainly are, if you cross us, but the…
Ms Ennis asked the Minister for Communities, given that demonstrating empathy is not a courtesy but a fundamental part of responsible leadership, whether he accepts that he showed no empathy to the people who were driven out of their homes by violent, racist mobs in Ballymena.

I had not intended to speak in the debate, but I simply cannot sit here and allow this farce to trundle along any longer. It is, quite frankly, a farcical debate. I am old enough to remember, because it was only last Tuesday, when Phillip Brett — I am glad that he has joined us in the Chamber — berated Sinn Féin for…
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I am appalled by the party that accuses everyone else in the Chamber of toxicity. Will you make a ruling on whether the Member for South Down was in breach of Standing Order 65(e) when he shouted across the Chamber at the deputy First Minister that she was "stupid"?

I thank colleagues in the Chamber for their compassionate approach to the debate. Paediatric pathology is an essential component of our healthcare system. It is important for us to state and understand that, because it provides crucial insights into the causes of illness and death among children, gives grieving…
Committee Membership That Ms Aoife Finnegan replace Mr Danny Baker on the Committee for Justice; and that Mr Danny Baker replace Ms Aoife Finnegan on the Committee on Procedures.
To ask the Minister of Education, given that the Senior Responsible Owner role is formally established within the public sector, to ensure accountability and good governance in major capital projects, to detail (i) the rational as to why why his Department has brought the Senior Responsible Owner role in house for the…
