Text

I thank the Member for his lengthy and detailed answer. I pay tribute to the Education Service, Usher Services and the events team, all of which provide an exemplary service here. It is with pride that we share this Building with them. Does the Member agree that, by making people aware that they can come into the Public Gallery whilst the Assembly is sitting and attend Committee meetings, there is further opportunity to have a more participatory Assembly to try to increase public confidence in politics in Northern Ireland?
