  1. Debate contribution: Age Discrimination (Goods, Facilities and Services) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    Like other Members who have spoken in the debate, I congratulate Claire for the incredible work that she has done, together with her researcher and those who have been supporting her, in the preparation of the Bill. The reality is that Northern Ireland has, for a considerable time, been falling behind when it comes to…

  2. Debate contribution: Age Discrimination (Goods, Facilities and Services) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for raising the issue of older people and the use of the internet through a laptop, computer or, particularly, mobile phone. I recently had a constituent in my office who does not use any of that equipment. The constituent has a basic mobile phone to keep in contact with family members but was…

  6. Debate contribution: Racial Equality Legislation

    • Opposition Business

    I welcome the debate on the motion and will begin my remarks by recognising the enormous contribution that the black and minority ethnic communities make to Northern Ireland. We need to ask ourselves some fairly uncomfortable questions, however. What does it say about our society that we are celebrating Black History…

  7. Debate contribution: St Andrews Agreement: 20 Years On

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank Members for their contributions to the debate today, particularly my colleague Paula Bradshaw, who moved the Alliance Party amendment. Although some who are here today want to relive old battles, we want to move forward and move the people of Northern Ireland forward. We…

  8. Debate contribution: Health and Social Care Transformation

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank my East Antrim colleague for giving way. He will know that I chair the all-party group (APG) on cancer, so my comment to him is made on a cross-party basis. It concerns cancer waiting times. Over the past 10 years, the 62-day target for seeing cancer patients has dropped from 95% to 29·5%. The 31-day treatment…

  9. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    • Questions for Urgent Oral Answer

    First Minister, given the events of recent days, will you commit to working with other political parties to stabilise institutions here in the Assembly and to ensure that the Executive can deliver on the public's priorities going forward?

  10. Debate contribution: Paramilitarism, Criminality and Organised Crime

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Deputy First Minister, the programme that the question is actually about deals with the scourge of paramilitarism. How will that programme deal with paramilitary organisations that advertise their control over their areas through items such as murals and other visible paramilitary memorials?

  11. Written question AQW 53304/22-27

    • The Executive Office

    To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister in relation to the Garvaghy Road area over the past 28 years, to detail (i) any Executive Office funding for community groups, programmes and projects; (ii) the number of local young people who have participated in Executive Office-funded summer camps or youth…

  14. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I do not want to press too hard on the point, but, in the debate, we have not heard from any side of the House — certainly not from one side — what the alternative to the Bill is; indeed, Ms Sugden should also address that. There is a clear requirement from the community that we deal with this as a societal matter in…

  16. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    On the issue of resource, the reality of the situation is that Northern Ireland is beset by sectarian flags; flags that communities do not want; and flags that communities are intimidated by. The Bill gives the opportunity to regulate and deal with those circumstances, and that will come at a cost. It is a cost that…

  18. Debate contribution: Support for Veterans and their Families

    • Ministerial Statement

    Thank you, Minister, for your statement. You stated that the staff who received training received a high level of security clearance. Did any staff not clear the barrier of that security clearance? Are there any members of staff in your Department about whom you have a security concern?

  21. Debate contribution: Display of Flags and Emblems Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. Particularly for the last number of years that I have been in the Assembly but, indeed, for most of my elected life as a councillor, I have had requests from residents about flags that they do not want in their streets and areas, and there is no proper mechanism available to formally…

  22. Debate contribution: Artificial Intelligence Strategy

    • Opposition Business

    It is a somewhat curious debate: we want it; we do not want it. I will start with a quote that might put people off. Donald Trump said: "The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" He said that on Air Force One when leaving Ireland…

  24. Debate contribution: Dilapidation Bill: Final Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I welcome the Final Stage of the Bill. As many Members have said in the debate, we face an unprecedented high street crisis across Northern Ireland with a quarter of non-domestic units lying vacant, leading to what some have termed "industrial levels" of dereliction, so I particularly welcome the Minister's Bill now…

  25. Debate contribution: Public Petition: Pancreatic Cancer UK — Demand Survival Now

    • Assembly Business

    First, I apologise to the House that I do not have a physical petition to present this morning, owing to the petitioners' flight logistics. The petition is on behalf of Pancreatic Cancer UK and its members in Northern Ireland. Each year in Northern Ireland, some 300 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Sadly,…
