  1. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    • Mr Paul Frew DUP
    • Questions for Urgent Oral Answer

    There are thousands of Parades Commission determinations every year, relating to every constituency. Why is the Garvaghy Road one a problem, meaning that the First Minister blocks the road, when she does not do so in respect of any other Parades Commission determinations?

    Not flagged Decided on a second assessment.

  2. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    The First Minister chose to ignore this question previously, but my party colleague Carla Lockhart has been threatened physically and subjected to horrific online abuse by a mob that was created by the First Minister. Will she condemn the actions of the mob?

  3. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    Will the First Minister tell the House and the two million people in this Province what she fears from 35 Orangemen, walking peacefully and silently down a road in the early hours for a few minutes?

    Flagged Decided on a second assessment. Parades, bonfires and commemorations Criteria met: Identity framing, Cultural grievance politics, Controversy escalation.

  4. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    I am sure that the First Minister will agree that this is not where any of us want to be today or ever. Does she also agree that it is deeply depressing that Jamie Bryson has been able to swing the DUP by the tail for the past week, though it has not realised it yet?

  5. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    The First Minister used the word "siege" a number of times in her answers. Does she believe that 35 elderly Orangemen, walking down a road at 8.00 am, constitutes a siege?

  6. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    First Minister, do you agree that Drumcree is a touchstone issue that resonates in a visceral and emotional way with both communities? Will the First Minister applaud all those who turned out in their thousands for a peaceful demonstration of solidarity with the residents of the Garvaghy Road?

  7. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    If we are still having this conversation next year and the issue has not been resolved, we will all be in a very difficult spot. You make the point about the fleadh: the fleadh was the best example of how to do culture. The fleadh was inclusive and welcoming. It was about everybody. It was about standing together. It…

  8. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    First Minister, the illegal blocking of the reduced and legal Drumcree parade eight days ago was a disaster for the community relations and mutual tolerance in Northern Ireland that we should all uphold. Indeed, it has been a slap in the face for the unionists who encouraged people to take part in the all-Ireland…

  9. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    You might not have, but you are accusing me of something that someone else has said. Do not look so shocked. Public discourse needs to be measured across the board. It starts with you and your party.

  10. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    I encourage the Member to practice what she preaches. When her party colleagues call the people on the Garvaghy Road a "rabble" or call them a "mob"—

  11. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    You did not answer my colleague Mr Buchanan when he asked you to call out the abuse that has been levelled at Protestant, unionist and loyalist people. You talk about a shared future: that just indicates that you do not want a unionist about the place. There was abuse directed at my colleagues Carla Lockhart and Diane…

  12. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    I thank the First Minister for finally turning up today. On several occasions today, she has referred to the fact that she will continue to turn up. She did not turn up last week; in fact, when I bumped into her and Mary Lou in the corridor last week straight after the question that she did not turn up for, she…

  13. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    First Minister, many like me and from my background have been filled with deep regret and sadness that Drumcree has had new life breathed into it. They have, however, also expressed confusion and a sense of being let down by some of your actions as First Minister. What leadership will you now show to ensure that…

  14. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    First Minister, sadly, your party has a track record in this area: first, with the Bobby Storey funeral, then the illegal Newry billboard and now, of course, Garvaghy Road. Do you accept that the unnotified protest gatherings on the Garvaghy Road were unlawful then and remain unlawful now? Do you believe that you and…

  15. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    First Minister, your actions over the past few week have made your definition of a shared future clear to me and the 1·9 million to two million people living in Northern Ireland. On the Garvaghy Road, you held the hand of Mr Mac Cionnaith, the bomber of Portadown, who called me an "effer": I am an Orangeman, but I am…

  16. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    When I was doing some outreach in South Belfast on Saturday, people kept saying that they were so despairing and were having to explain things that had happened in the past to their children and young people. As the joint First Minister, with the remit for children and young people, will you outline what you are…

    No, it is not my opinion. The Pledge of Office is clear that you pledge: "to uphold the rule of law ... including support for policing and the courts". You have abolished your support for them all. Have the police been in contact with you yet about your lawbreaking ? If not, are you prepared to offer yourself to them…

  18. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    First Minister, you will probably recall that, quite a while ago, all the leaders of the political parties met to discuss the Bobby Storey funeral, and we asked to resolve with you the issues so that they would not escalate into this situation. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have heard the deputy First Minister say…

  19. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    First Minister, given that you, along with a number of Sinn Féin reps, have stood alongside individuals such as the convicted murderer Colin Duffy, the bomber Breandán Mac Cionnaith and others at the unlawful protest on Garvaghy Road, what message does that send to the law-abiding communities across Northern Ireland…

  20. Debate contribution: First Minister — Pledge of Office

    When the First Minister has been out on the Garvaghy Road, people have been enraged by the blatant disregard for the law. A huge sense of rage that I have been getting in my constituency is from those who are suffering after the withdrawal of maternity services from Daisy Hill Hospital. They cannot get that on the…
