Will the deputy First Minister explain why the dispute resolution process with the British Government regarding their outstanding financial contribution to victims' payments is still unresolved?

I thank the Member for his question. As I said earlier, leadership is exceptionally important. It is really important that we make clear that the acts of violence and terrorism of the past were absolutely wrong and that no person deserved to be injured or killed during the Troubles. There was always an alternative to…

I thank the deputy First Minister. What effect will the First Minister's recent actions and disregard for the rule of law and order and our police service have on victims who have been subject to permanent injury and on officers whose colleagues were murdered by the IRA in its murderous campaign, which was supported…

I thank the Member for raising that important case. I have no doubt that many Members across the Chamber listen to many of the people — victims and survivors — who are going through that process. Putting the scheme in place was the right thing to do. The sheer number of applications to the scheme — over 16,000 —…

Language is important, deputy First Minister. Some people in the House do not understand that. A recent appeal report from the Victims' Payments Board to a lady who had lost her husband stated: "The description of the room in which she saw the surgeon and her husband was vague". Deputy First Minister, a lady in her…

Mr Speaker, with your permission, I will answer questions 2 and 5 together. Since opening in August 2021, the scheme has received 16,323 applications and paid over £162 million, providing important recognition of the harm suffered. Although the scheme has closed to new applications, the president can consider late…

I thank the Member for his important question. It is important to have leadership in that area. I have absolutely no truck with paramilitarism: there was never any role for it in Northern Ireland, and there certainly is not a role for it today. That leadership should send a clear message that paramilitarism was…

Deputy First Minister, the programme that the question is actually about deals with the scourge of paramilitarism. How will that programme deal with paramilitary organisations that advertise their control over their areas through items such as murals and other visible paramilitary memorials?

It is absolutely clear that what we have seen over the past week has appalled many people across Northern Ireland. They have seen a party that demands equality and then claims an exemption for itself. That does not work. The idea that it is somehow above the law while everybody else has to be subject to the law does…

Deputy First Minister, do you agree that, given Miss Hargey's very enthusiastic participation in what was an illegal roadblock in Portadown, alongside senior Sinn Féin elected representatives and, concerningly, individuals linked to dissident republicanism, she is in no position to seek updates on tackling…

Thank you, Mr Speaker. Deirdre Hargey has attempted to make a blatant political point. She has done so in such a brazen way, given the hypocrisy of not only herself but her party leader in Northern Ireland and her overall party leader in standing with dissidents such as Colin Duffy and standing on a stage with a man…

What beggars belief is the brass neck of Sinn Féin. Just last week, you stood on the road, shoulder to shoulder with dissidents, Provos and those with appalling convictions. Indeed, just this weekend, we had the First Minister standing cuddling a terrorist — Breandán Mac Cionnaith — who was jailed for blowing up…

Thank you very much, deputy First Minister. The Loyalist Communities Council (LCC) recently gave evidence to the Parades Commission regarding the Drumcree application. The LCC represents illegal organisations that are still involved in racketeering, drug dealing and asking for payments from their own communities. Do…

The Executive programme on paramilitarism and organised crime was extended until March 2027, on the condition that it was reviewed. The process is being finalised, and it will be for the Executive to consider the findings and take decisions on the next steps. The Executive Office has responsibility for the Communities…

I welcome the opportunity to respond to the motion, which goes directly to how we protect animal welfare and promote humane, evidence-based training for dogs and cats in Northern Ireland. Let me be clear: improving animal welfare is one of my highest priorities, and the use of devices that control behaviour through…

I speak as someone who also enjoys all the benefits of pet ownership, having had two German shepherds over the years. I am now firmly under the control of our cat, Casper, who enjoys an extravagant lifestyle at our expense, but I would not be without him. As someone who cares deeply about animal welfare, I welcome the…

In rising to contribute to the debate, I am sure that it goes without saying that a dog is a man's best friend. All those who are dog lovers can testify to the welcome that they receive from their dog when they return home each day and how rewarding that is for them. They can also testify to the loyalty that their dog…

I do not think that I have ever been described as that, Mr Deputy Speaker, but I will accept the compliment. I welcome the opportunity, on behalf of the SDLP, to support the motion that was tabled by the UUP and, of course, I acknowledge the Alliance amendment. As Members will know, I am a very proud dog owner. In our…

I support the motion. How we train an animal is not simply a matter of personal preference; it is a matter of animal welfare. We are a nation of animal lovers. Across Northern Ireland, hundreds of thousands of people share their homes with dogs and cats. Those animals depend very much on us for their care, and they…
