    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I apologise for not being in my place for a topical question. I was, as I previously briefed, at the funeral of a very important member of the Ulster Unionist Party. We send our party's regards to his brother on this sad occasion.

    Today — 13 October — is Hoshana Rabbah, the final day of Succoth. It is the day on which Jewish people everywhere pray and look to the fate of the new year.

  7. Debate contribution: Household Energy Costs

    • Private Members' Business

    Speaking as the deputy chair of the climate all-party group, I remind its chair that we have advocated for a long time that we should get to net zero carbon as quickly as we can. Part of that is making sure that the grid works effectively and correctly. An Alliance Member said earlier that we are not interested in the…

  8. Debate contribution: Household Energy Costs

    • Private Members' Business

    I do not know where the Member gets the idea that we are against the North/South interconnector. I have been one of the strongest advocates for the North/South interconnector for nearly 10 years and, indeed, before that when I was the chief executive of the British Irish Chamber of Commerce. I do not know where you…

  9. Debate contribution: Household Energy Costs

    • Private Members' Business

    He is correct. The North/South interconnector is the one fundamental failure of the whole I-SEM system. Without the North/South interconnector, it will not work. Burying the cable is being presented by some parties in the Chamber as a way ahead, but that is just going to put the cost up so much that it is never going…

I welcome the Minister's being here, but the main issues will also refer to the Minister for the Economy, the Minister for Infrastructure and the Executive. These are all…

  12. Debate contribution: Manchester Synagogue Attack: Implications for the Jewish Community in Northern Ireland

    • Matters of the Day

    I will try to make sure that I stick strictly to the horrific attack in Manchester. Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar: the day of atonement, when members of the Jewish faith fast from sunset to sunset, pray, repent, reflect and seek closeness to God. Last Thursday, that holy day was desecrated by a…

  13. Debate contribution: Global Sumud Flotilla: Israeli Interception

    • Matters of the Day

    I make a declaration of interest as someone who has conducted maritime blockades in several places around the world. The Gaza Mediterranean maritime blockade is recognised as a method of warfare that has developed in the context of international armed conflict legislation, which states: "A blockade is a belligerent…
