First Minister, given the events of recent days, will you commit to working with other political parties to stabilise institutions here in the Assembly and to ensure that the Executive can deliver on the public's priorities going forward?

Given that we have seen the evidence of her intentional lawbreaking and encouraging others to do so, I was going to ask the First Minister whether she would take the opportunity to recommit to her Pledge of Office. However, given what she said only moments ago, can I ask her to read it first?

The so-called First Minister for all justifies the murder of thousands of citizens by her associates in the IRA and now justifies breaking the law. Does she agree that most people in Northern Ireland now see her as completely morally bankrupt?

This past week, Sinn Féin has subjected my constituents to blatant sectarianism, lawlessness and intimidation. First Minister, as we speak, the Court of Appeal is awaiting a judgement on a challenge brought by the Garvaghy Road residents to the decision on the Drumcree parade. As First Minister, will you accept and…

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…

Today, the Court of Appeal has reserved judgement on the unlawfulness of what is going on on the Garvaghy Road. Will you ask residents on the Garvaghy Road — the few residents who there are — and the people whom you have bussed in to go home and await the judgement of the court rather than continue to break the law?

First Minister, you are right to say that the residents of the Garvaghy Road did not ask for this. They want to be left to live in peace, which is the least that they should be able to expect. I agree with that. It is also true that this place needs to be governed. There are sincere reasons why you and others,…

Thank you, First Minister, for coming to the Chamber. You will not be surprised that my question focuses on reconciliation. We are still working under the 2013 framework for Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) and the good relations strategy, and work on the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and…

The Parades Commission issued a determination that has been upheld by the courts not once but twice. Ms O'Neill, you, along with your bedfellow, the IRA chief of staff, encouraged people to illegally block the Garvaghy Road to defy the court's determination. It is clear that you are the First Minister of lawlessness.…

First Minister, my thoughts are with victims, too, but, unlike you, they are with all victims of terrorism. I do not celebrate terrorists. First Minister, your refusal to come to the Chamber last week showed utter contempt not just for the House but for the people of Northern Ireland. When you became First Minister,…

As First Minister, I am fully committed to the Good Friday Agreement and everything that flows from that seminal agreement, including the ministerial code and the Pledge of Office.

I thank the Member for his question. The criteria did not change, but the guidance about who was eligible for the skills for life and work programme was clarified. I am glad that all the young people he engaged with have been sorted out. I encouraged my officials to make sure that we had appropriate places for all…

I thank the Member for her question. I recognise the really important role that St Mary's college plays not just as an educational institution but as a vital social and economic anchor in West Belfast and beyond. I am acutely aware of the financial pressures facing St Mary's as well as the wider higher education…

I will stay in touch with the Minister to see whether any of that practical support could feed into the multi-agency structure around the forest park. My follow-up question also relates to West Belfast. We know that St Mary's University College is a vital community asset: can the Minister provide an assurance that her…

I thank the Member for her question. I am aware of and fully recognise the challenging position that faces Colin Glen and the value that the forest park provides to the local community.

I thank the Member for her question. She articulates the point really well. Over two thirds of our households depend on home heating oil, so we are particularly exposed. There is also a higher rate of diesel car usage here, so, in many cases, people are being hit twice. That is why we need to see a cost-of-living…

Thank you, Minister. This is a really serious matter. The £100 payment will not touch the sides. The price of oil is now double what it was this time last year. Do you recognise how much stress people who consume oil are under and what the cost of living is for those households? How much have you stressed the case…

I thank the Member for her question. In recent weeks, certainly, we have seen the price of oil tick upwards again, which is deeply unwelcome as we move into winter and people fill up their tanks. At the previous Executive meeting, I proposed that we collectively write again to the British Government about the need for…

Go raibh maith agat , Minister. That is good news.

I thank the Member for her question.

I thank the Member for her question. I do not disagree with her about the impact that the Budget situation is having. The point that I would make is that agreeing a Budget that is inadequate and forcing it on our public services will damage those services. That is why we have engaged in negotiations with the British…

The vacuum is causing severe strain on businesses, colleges and organisations across the economy.
