  2. Debate contribution: Finance: Chancellor’s Spring Forecast

    • Ministerial Statement

    Thank you very much, Minister, for being so prompt. In her statement today, Rachel Reeves said that, by the next election, people will be over £1,000 a year better off, accounting for inflation. Looking at the figures and at the limited data that we have so far, can the Minister enlighten us on how the Chancellor…

  3. Member's statement: Antisemitism: Republic of Ireland

    • Members' Statements

    Anyone who has witnessed the vile antisemitic slurs that have emanated from the Republic of Ireland recently, highlighted by two Jewish protesters being dragged out of a Holocaust event, which the then Irish president used as an opportunity to denigrate Israel, and the debacle over the attempts to rename Chaim Herzog…

  4. Debate contribution: Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union

    • Private Members' Business

    The Member will be aware that other countries in the European Union have concerns about defence-related issues. President Macron has decided today to increase the number of nuclear weapons that France has. He said: "To be free, we have to be feared." Is that a part of pan-Europeanism that we should all celebrate? I…

  5. Debate contribution: Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you very much indeed. You will notice, of course, that that is what the EU presidency has asked for. That is what is on the agenda for the EU presidency, and that is what Ireland is going to do. We did not add anything; that is what the European Union wants from the Irish presidency.

  6. Debate contribution: Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. He will be interested to know that it has just been announced that the EU mutual defence clause is about to be enacted to support Cyprus. Ireland says that it is going to support that, so where is all this neutrality business?

  7. Debate contribution: Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member very much indeed for giving way. Could he point out to me where, in the EU Irish presidency agenda, there is any mention of a united Ireland? I cannot see it.

  8. Debate contribution: Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I make a declaration of interest for Mr O'Toole: I call myself a "John Hewitt-ist". I am British, Northern Irish and Irish, and I am a European as well. I am also a member of the incurious Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee, and that might account for some of the…

  9. Debate contribution: British-Irish Council: Energy

    • Ministerial Statement

    Thank you, Minister, for your remarks so far. On the issue of the decarbonisation agenda, at a recent meeting that I attended in the Oireachtas, I was surprised that Cathy Bennett TD stated that there was no need for renewables to be transferred out of the island of Ireland, particularly out of the Republic of…

    To ask the Minister of Finance, in light of the Northern Ireland Fiscal Council's report on The Finance Minister's proposed 2026-2027 to 2028-29/29-30 Budget, for his assessment of the observation that rates based spending power has not increased significantly in real terms, and shows that there is no marked fiscal…

    To ask the Minister of Finance, in light of the Northern Ireland Fiscal Council's report on The Finance Minister's proposed 2026-2027 to 2028-29/29-30 Budget, to detail the extent to which the allocation of capital spending is locked into existing projects, regardless of whether these projects are assessed to be value…

  14. Debate contribution: Financial Conduct

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, you will be aware that some of the banks are removing themselves from some of our small towns and not-so-small towns. As a result of their doing so, they are supposed to work towards creating banking hubs and related processes. Is there any indication of why they are not doing that? I refer particularly to…

  15. Debate contribution: Supply Resolution for the Northern Ireland Spring Supplementary Estimates 2025-26

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for giving way. Of that £130 million, minus £9 million, why did the Department for Infrastructure not bid for extra funding for all the other problems that it has? That seems strange. I am looking at just the accounting process, because I do not have the big book in front of me, but it seems that…
