Ms Sheerin, I can certainly assure you that I am no pawn for the DUP. I signed the petition of concern out of conviction and principle as soon as I knew that it had been laid because — you know what? — it was the right thing to do. It was the right thing to do because I could not trust Sinn Féin, the SDLP, Alliance…
FlaggedLegacy of the Troubles, victims and paramilitarismCriteria met: Dog-whistle messaging, Controversy escalation.
The spectacle that we all witnessed last night from members of the liberal elite in the Chamber was nothing other than self-combustion. Even by their own standards, it was a spectacle for all to behold. Time and again, the mask of the self-righteous MLAs slipped as, between their sniping and sneering remarks, they…
Uncertain: close callSectarianism, hate crime and community relationsCriteria met: Identity framing, Dog-whistle messaging, Controversy escalation.
Given that the IRA bombed the heart out of Belfast and my home town of Ballymena, which resulted in the murder of Yvonne Dunlop, will you outline, Minister, exactly the skill set that former IRA man Peter Lynch brings to economic development that justifies him sitting on the board of Invest NI, apart from being one of…

I did not have the benefit of seeing whether the Minister delivered that answer with a straight face. I can only think that he did not. Given that it was exposed that a poor culture existed at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI), with video evidence showing slurry being blown into a local forest, amongst…
The Minister's draft climate action plan can be found on the DAERA website, where it lists a 21% reduction in agri-emissions by 2030. The colourful document states that this will be achieved by a reduction in livestock of 22% for dairy cattle, 17% for beef cattle and 18% for sheep, pigs and poultry. Minister, is it…

You will look in vain for any TUV representative who has said that there was no alternative to bombing, shooting, kidnap and murder. Sadly, the same cannot be said of the…
