  1. Debate contribution: Budget Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    It is a short technical point for our information. For the Bill to obtain Royal Assent, a statement about the Estimates has to be part of the information package that goes with it. If the Bill goes for Royal Assent but we are not going to get the Estimates until later, how are we going to apply those Estimates?

  2. Debate contribution: Budget Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Minister, the point was that, when I was the Chair of the Committee, it was reported that that figure should not exceed £1 million. That came from the Audit Office and also — I think, but I would stand corrected — the Comptroller and Auditor General. Those are real controls that should be there. It is not a question…

  3. Debate contribution: Budget Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. She mentioned prison officers, and one of the issues that the Finance Minister deals with is Northern Ireland Civil Service HR. There is a considerable issue with prison officers, particularly with HR services that are being provided by NICS HR. Will the Member agree that that is one…

  4. Debate contribution: Budget Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I welcome the Minister. Regrettably, I will probably have to slip out in 10 minutes or so to our all-party group (APG) meeting. Sadly, you will have to step down from the all-party group, but I thank you very much for your work for the APG on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and everything that…

  5. Debate contribution: Domiciliary Care Packages: Northern Health and Social Care Trust

    • Adjournment

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I wish you all the best in the Chair. Northern Ireland is not unique in experiencing rapidly changing demographics. As a society, we face a rising demand for adult social care services. The number of older people, the group most likely to need social care, is rising faster than the…

  6. Debate contribution: Lough Neagh Rescue Plan

    • Private Members' Business

    Mr Speaker, as you will remember, when you were Minister of Agriculture in 2022, a regrettable series of deaths of dogs and other animals was reported to my office in Ballyclare and to councillors. The common denominator was that the deaths were all connected to the lough. Along with Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough…

  7. Debate contribution: Potholes: Additional Investment

    • Ministerial Statements

    I welcome the Minister to his new post. I declare an interest: I will soon get in contact with his Department about fixing a windscreen that was cracked because of a pothole. What will we do about the utility companies that seem to spend their entire time digging up the roads, digging them up again and not working…

  8. Debate contribution: Public Finances

    • Private Members' Business

    I start by congratulating Mr Tennyson and Mr Brett — he seems to have disappeared off for his lunch — on their maiden speeches. The speeches were both good examples of what we should all be moving towards. The Ulster Unionist Party will support the motion and the amendment, but there are issues that we need to be…

  9. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Acting Speaker. My friend Mr Butler wished to ask a question. It is my understanding of the joint translation process that he is fully entitled to ask his question in English, the question would be translated into Irish, the Member would be able to respond in Irish and the response would be…

  10. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    • Assembly Business

    Thank you very much, Mr Acting Speaker, for controlling this rather unruly event. The people of Northern Ireland will be watching this today, and many will be saying, "What are they doing? What is happening?", because here we are, squabbling back and forth, when we have crises. We have a crisis in our healthcare…
