Text
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Were you able to ascertain whether the First Minister is in the Building or in police custody or whether something else is preventing her from coming to the Chamber? She is big enough and brave enough to make speeches on the Garvaghy Road but, seemingly, not big enough and brave enough to answer elected representatives' questions. It seems that she can comment only when she has Mary Lou McDonald beside her. Would it be in order to make provision to allow Mary Lou McDonald to stand beside Michelle O'Neill if that is the only way in which she will answer questions?
