  2. Debate contribution: Assembly Business

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I would like you to view the audiovisual recording of the end of the debate on the motion brought by the Assembly Commission in light of Standing Order 27(1)(b), which states: "the Speaker shall direct that the lobbies be cleared and the division bells sounded if– (b) the Speaker’s…

  3. Debate contribution: Lough Neagh: Commercial Trout Fishing

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his response and invitation; indeed, I will take him up on that. The crux of it is, Minister, that I want you to commit to carrying out a survey to determine the current stock levels of trout in Lough Neagh to establish how long current levels will last and to avoid the trout stocks reaching a…

  4. Debate contribution: Allowances to Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly

    • Assembly Business

    I would like to give the Member the opportunity, in the remaining seconds that he has, to correct the record. He said that Mr Allister did not take up his position on a scrutiny Committee. He wanted to be on the EU scrutiny Committee, but the big parties kept him out of it. You have to take some responsibility for…

  5. Debate contribution: Allowances to Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly

    • Assembly Business

    The motion begins by noting: "Members’ salaries and pensions should be determined by an independent body". Really? It does that in a context where the briefing to assist the Audit Committee's scrutiny of the Assembly Commission's budget for 2025-26 said: "given that Members' Salaries have not been reviewed since 2016,…

  6. Topical question AQT 983/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr Gaston asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs why, given that all recent studies on trout migrating from Lough Neagh to local rivers for spawning are showing a decrease in the number of trout returning to the lough, DAERA's Inland Fisheries is still allowing commercial fishing of wild…

  7. Debate contribution: Health Crisis

    • Opposition Business

    I wish to focus my remarks on a local issue in my constituency of North Antrim, which I believe falls within the scope of the motion. In September 2024, I spoke about a mental health charity in my constituency that provides an invaluable service in crisis intervention, counselling and family support. As of today,…

  8. Debate contribution: Assembly Business

    • Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Before Question Time, my contribution to the debate on enhancing accountability and trust in government was cut short by Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, who ruled that my remarks were out of order. I respect the Chair, but, for the benefit of lowly Back-Benchers such as myself, will…

  9. Debate contribution: Ending Violence Against Women and Girls: Regional Change Fund

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Deputy First Minister, 20 years ago, on Thursday past, Robert McCartney was brutally stabbed to death by the IRA. In the aftermath of his murder, his sisters were subjected to a campaign of intimidation by the republican movement that you partner with in government today. Will the ending violence against women and…

  10. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    • Opposition Business

    I could not agree more with some aspects of the motion. It is particularly welcome that it notes the lack of trust and accountability in our politics. Last week, the House debated a motion that lambasted the report on the Michael McMonagle scandal. Without a vote, it was passed. We all agreed that the conclusions…

  11. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    • Ministerial Statement

    I thank the Minister for coming to my constituency last week to visit Castle Tower School. I am unapologetic when I say that I hope and trust that he will look on that school fondly when he is deciding on his Department's priorities. One of the struggles facing controlled schools is their historical budget deficits,…
