Absolutely, Mr Deputy Speaker. That is what I am getting to. I will give a sample of the questions that I asked of the First Minister. I asked her whether she wanted to take the opportunity to apologise to Máiría Cahill. That brings us directly back to the motion that we are talking about today. Here we are,…
The motion is good in so far as it goes, but it raises a number of issues. First, just a fortnight ago, a majority of MLAs endorsed a sanction against me because I had raised the issue of paramilitary-linked sexual abuse with the First Minister.

Thank you very much, Principal Deputy Speaker. Due to the lack of Members willing to give way, I hope to take every second, if required.

I have profound issues with the GAA. Many people in my community share those concerns. When they hear of Casement Park, they do not recall some sporting…
Since my arrival at Stormont, I have used my position on the Executive Office Committee to attempt to turn the spotlight on to the role of the Irish Republic in facilitating and sustaining 30 years of republican terrorism in Northern Ireland. The facts are undeniable. The arms trial of 1970 exposed something of…
To ask the Assembly Commission to detail the amount it provided for the production and publication of the Committee on Standards and Privileges Report on a complaint against Mr Timothy Gaston MLA (NIA103/22-27), including (i) staff time costs within the Commissioner for Standards’ Office; (ii) Committee staff support…
