  1. Debate contribution: Serious Stabbing in North Belfast

    • Matter of the Day

    In the Chamber yesterday, I was ridiculed by the self-righteous MLAs to my left, including the Justice Minister, for daring to highlight issues around immigration and the impact that it has on working-class communities. The word that Sinn Féin Member for North Belfast Carál Ní Chuilín used was "obnoxious". I wonder…

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Minister for her intervention. I am not here to lecture anybody. I am here to point out and stand up for the constituency that me to come to the Chamber to speak on their behalf. The Minister's contribution shows that she is more interested in freedom from religion. So I do not agree —

    Not flagged Decided on a second assessment.

  6. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I will focus my brief remarks on the group 3 amendments solely on Ms Egan's amendment No 73, which inserts a new clause to abolish blasphemy. That amendment is the latest attempt to further diminish our Christian country and the conservative DNA that runs through it. The Justice Minister's introductory comments on the…
