Every time Stormont collapses and comes back, the public are assured and promised that it is the dawning of a new day for the institutions and that things will be different this time around. Following the publication of the RHI inquiry report, the then First Minister, Arlene — now Baroness — Foster, in a debate in the…
Providing £59,000 a year to fund a post that deals with divergence between Great Britain and Northern Ireland makes a mockery of the claims that the Irish Sea border has gone. Does the remit of the employee include monitoring the cost to businesses of severing our links with the rest of the United Kingdom?
Northern Ireland and its people have a record of innovation that is envied around the world. One innovator stands out above the rest: Harry Ferguson, who was born 140 years ago yesterday.

Even by the blood-soaked standards of the brutal IRA campaign, the Kingsmills massacre stands out as a particularly evil act. There are some in the House who maintain that there was no…
FlaggedSectarianism, hate crime and community relationsCriteria met: Identity framing.
While recognising the significant challenges faced by businesses on our high streets, I begin by noting that I have the privilege of representing the constituency that has the current High Street of the Year. I commend the businesses of Ballymoney for winning that prestigious title and note that Winnie Mellot is…
Minister, a Choice Housing development which was built at George Street in Ballymena was completed in summer 2023. It was designed to be one-bedroom general needs properties. Does your Department have any oversight of the change from general needs to emergency accommodation that has been allowed to happen in that…
Minister, is it not a farce that many in the House and outside it continue to point the finger at our main industry when the truth is — you just outlined it — that a significant part of the problem comes from Stormont Departments? Does Stormont not need to get its house in order before lambasting and blaming the…
