Text
First Minister, like you, I was proud to stand with the residents of the Garvaghy Road during the past week. It is worth reminding ourselves that, less than a year ago, the majority of MLAs in the Chamber voted that the Education Minister had failed to uphold the Pledge of Office over his Israeli Government-funded propaganda trip. He is still in place only because his party used a veto to protect him. Does the First Minister agree that the DUP has forfeited any right to lecture the House on the Pledge of Office?
