  2. Debate contribution: The Troubles: Irish State Role

    • Private Members' Business

    I commend the Ulster Unionist Party for bringing this important motion to the House. It is particularly pertinent that these matters should be raised on 11 March, which is a day on which people across Europe pause to remember the innocent victims of terrorism. The record of the Irish Republic when it comes to legacy…

  3. Debate contribution: Foot-and-mouth Disease, Avian Influenza and Bluetongue

    • Ministerial Statements

    Minister, your statement tells us that animals from foot-and-mouth disease-affected areas in Hungary and Germany are prevented from entering NI. However, when it comes to bluetongue, you say: "movement of all live ruminants and camelids from Great Britain to Northern Ireland is still suspended." Will the Minister…

  4. Debate contribution: Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    More wastage is what the Minister orders. Some of that money was spent on membership fees for the discredited Stonewall's Allies programme, which is used to push gender ideology. Why is taxpayers' money being wasted on that nonsense, years after the Civil Service and even the BBC recognised the need to withdraw from…

  5. Debate contribution: Ratepayers: Debt Reduction Payment Plan

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Following on from the Minister's comments that LPS will work with ratepayers, I have a case at the minute where the time frame given to the constituent to pay off their rates bill simply is not long enough for them to afford to pay it off. Will the Minister give a commitment that, where there are circumstances in…

  6. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Transport

    • Ministerial Statements

    I do not expect that anyone from the southern side of the border will have raised this issue, but did either Mr Nesbitt or the Infrastructure Minister raise the fact that the Grand Central station project has resulted in a 40% reduction in the takings of businesses in Sandy Row? Is there any prospect of financial…

  7. Debate contribution: TransformED NI — Transforming Teaching and Learning: A Strategy for Educational Excellence in Northern Ireland

    • Ministerial Statements

    I join other Members in welcoming the statement. It is full of positive language and will require significant investment in the EA and in schools. Minister, is the ministerial advisory panel's work time-limited? When will schools start to see access to the additional support and personal development for principals and…

  8. Member's statement: Intertrade UK

    • Members' Statements

    Last week, during the debate on the Programme for Government, I contrasted the two bodies mentioned on page 85 of that document, namely InterTradeIreland and Intertrade UK. I highlighted the fact that InterTradeIreland has a budget of over £6·4 million awarded to it from the Stormont Budget. I could have added that…

  10. Written question AQW 24235/22-27

    • The Executive Office

    To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for their assessment of whether there is a correlation between the announcement of funding of up to £135 million a year to reduce waiting lists by treating an additional 70,000 patients, and a further £80 million a year to increase elective care capacity, as outlined…

  11. Debate contribution: Paramilitary Groups: Transition from Violence and Crime

    • Private Members' Business

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. This morning, I had the privilege of hosting the European Day for Victims of Crime 2025 event in the Senate Chamber. We heard testimony from Pamela Wilson, whose father was an RUC officer murdered by the IRA on his son's eighth birthday. He also left behind a 10-year-old…

  12. Debate contribution: Schools: Routine Maintenance

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I declare an interest as a governor of Buick Memorial Primary School. Many primary schools, such as that of which I am a governor, struggle to carry out basic, routine maintenance. The school has to fundraise for such simple things as painting the walls. At what point will budgets be rebalanced to ensure that schools…

  13. Written question AQW 24135/22-27

    • Department of Justice

    To ask the Minister of Justice whether the statement in the Programme for Government 2024-2027 that the Executive is actively seeking to achieve a sufficient number of police officers in line with New Decade, New Approach commitments means that the PSNI will have 7,500 officers by the end of the 2022-2027 mandate.
