I thank the signatories to the motion for tabling it. The SDLP supports the motion. The debate that we are having this evening is really important. It is well known that we have a crisis in the delivery of special needs education. It is underfunded and under-resourced, and the workforce is under ever-increasing strain…
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does he agree that, once again, it is people who live in the most deprived regions of Northern Ireland who have least access to dental healthcare? I talk particularly about our Foyle constituency. The healthcare professionals — the dentists — working in Foyle are working…
It is good to speak for the SDLP on such an important topic. As Members from across the Chamber will appreciate, there could not be a more timely opportunity to speak about energy issues and reaching our net zero objectives. As the price of energy has soared in recent weeks, thanks to the war in Iran, we have seen…
I rise to speak again about women's health in Northern Ireland, an issue that affects more than half the population, yet it continues to be overlooked in policy and service delivery. The Assembly is not short of awareness. Motions have been passed, Members across parties have repeatedly raised the issue of women's…

First Minister, the Irish presidency of the EU is coming up. That is very significant and is an opportunity to help us build relationships. Have you made any contacts in order to strengthen those relationships during that period?
Today marks a welcome and important step forward in placing a statutory prohibition on onshore petroleum exploration and licensing. As Members from all parties will know, that is not a new argument in the Chamber; we have spoken about it many times. In fact, in 2015 — over a decade ago — my party colleague Mark Durkan…
With the greatest respect, Minister, the sector is collapsing. I have engaged with Ulster University, and I have spoken to Queen's University and, this morning, the unions. There is genuine shock at the recent announcement. I am particularly concerned about the 108 jobs that are at risk at Magee. How can you stand…
