At first glance, the motion appears to be shrewd. It was delivered with great gusto by the star performer, Mr O'Toole. In any normal, functioning government, who could oppose long-term planning or financial certainty? All that we have to do, however, is look behind the words in the Order Paper. The real thrust of the…

Last week, a concerned parent shared with me their freedom of information response from the Education Authority (EA) on the use of halal meat in our schools.

Minister, do you agree that the judgement is a clear case of judicial overreach and that there are numerous countries that have signed up to the ECHR whose RE curriculum is expressly Christian, such as Poland? Regardless of precedents, does the Minister also…

Minister, workers on the front line tell me that the number of delirium beds is not adequate to meet need: there are only six such beds in the Northern Trust. People have to wait in acute hospitals for a considerable length of time before they get a bed that is appropriate to meet their needs. As our population ages,…

Does the First Minister think that a fanatic who believes that the Irish language legislation does not go far enough and is or, at least, was a card-carrying member of Sinn Féin is the right person to hold the post of Irish Language Commissioner?
