  1. Debate contribution: Child Poverty: North Belfast

    • Adjournment

    I, too, commend Nuala for securing the Adjournment debate. Poverty is a blight on our society, whoever it affects and wherever it is found, but it is fair to say that it has a particular effect on children. We know that the first thousand days of a child's life are absolutely crucial to their cognitive and emotional…

  2. Debate contribution: Voting Age: 16- and 17-year-olds

    • Private Members' Business

    I put on record our strong support for lowering the voting age to 16, and I thank the proposers of the motion and the amendment. To me, from the outset, the biggest reason for lowering the voting age is our young people themselves. Our next generation has ambition in spades for themselves and for Northern Ireland.…

  3. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Audit Office Report: 'Developing the skills for Northern Ireland's future'

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer. Can he assure the Chamber that the recommendations will be not only reviewed by his Department, as he mentioned, but acted on within this mandate? There are real issues in relation to the IT system not working effectively, and the gathering of data and measurements is a bit askew.…

  4. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Democratic Institutions

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you, Minister. I was looking for a yes answer only. You have previously said that you are up for reforming these institutions. Are you aware of any of the work that the Assembly and Executive Review Committee is doing on that issue, or is it just all oral fudge?

  8. Debate contribution: Harland and Wolff

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    The evolving Harland and Wolff situation is deeply concerning. The rumours are that there is a healthy portfolio of potential buyers who are looking at the company. Can you assure us that the Minister will engage at the highest level with those buyers in selling and promoting the Northern Ireland plant in particular?…

  9. Debate contribution: Healthy and Respectful Relationships

    The strategic framework for ending violence against women and girls was published yesterday and is very welcome. Your Department has a key role to play in the prevention pillar in educating young people on healthy relationships and comprehensive sexual education. How much money are you putting in your budget to align…

  10. Debate contribution: Dynamic Pricing

    • Private Members' Business

    At the start of my remarks, I will say two things. First, I am absolutely not a fan of Oasis. Some people in the Chamber may be lifelong fans, because they sound as though they are, but I am not one. Secondly, to many outside the Chamber, it may seem a wee bit bizarre, and even a wee bit frustrating, that we are…

  11. Debate contribution: Great Britain to Northern Ireland Trade

    • Private Members' Business

    I welcome today's motion and the opportunity to discuss the crucial issue of trade between Britain and Northern Ireland. I particularly welcome the opportunity to recognise the critical role of road hauliers, who play a vital role in our trade ecosystem and have faced multiple challenges since 2016. It will be said…

  12. Debate contribution: City and Growth Deals Funding Commitment

    • Ministerial Statements

    Minister, you indicated that you became aware of the UK Government's intention on Wednesday. Was the Minister for the Economy also aware of that when he made his announcement and addressed the press at 4.00 pm on Wednesday regarding the expansion of Magee and the report of the task force? If so, was he aware at that…
