To ask the Minister for Communities in relation to the NI Football Fund Grassroots Facilities Programme funding provided via Belfast City Council, to detail (i) any funding allocated; (ii) any project component funded; and (iii) any facility that received funding.
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. We seem to be conflating Members' statements with points of order. I would appreciate it if Members restrained themselves and moderated this place, because the outside world is listening and watching.
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. We have had remarks from Members on the Benches opposite about those on these Benches inflaming the situation. Let me make it clear: I am in the House this afternoon as deputy First Minister. I have turned up to do my job. The First Minister was on the Garvaghy Road at the weekend,…
In terms of the party opposite, its leader is not even in the Chamber. Jamie Bryson is not here. Could one of you not stand down and co-opt him, and then he can officially be the leader of the party?
Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. I agree with one thing that Mr Burrows says: this is a pantomime, because, in terms of the party opposite —.
Question Time — wonderful. This is a farce. Another day has been wasted, and the blame for that has to lie at the door of Sinn Féin, which, at its heart, cannot obey the law. As I said this morning, you have a member of the Policing Board who thinks that she can hold a Chief Constable to account but turns up and…

Mr Speaker, like the promised border poll, the First Minister has failed to arrive and turn up. This is a pantomime of the highest order. Today is a typical day. Anyone watching what has gone on today will know that there has been barely any business, except for Members' statements and a few other bits and pieces,…
Any of its promises should be treated with the contempt that they deserve. Pat Sheehan sits there smiling and smirking away. I hope that that smile gets wiped off your face when this place crumbles.
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. What we see unfolding here is a farce. The First Minister has been on the run from TEO Committee, and now she has confirmed that she is not going to come before it until the end of October. She is on the run from the Assembly, and, although she has given an assurance that she will be…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Some are trying to use the House, so it was important that you clarified that the First Minister is off doing other urgent business. She is not afraid of any of you — let me make that fact clear. She showed that at last week's Question Time. While some try to use the House to inflame…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. It is important for me, as deputy First Minister, to clarify that I have made it clear to the First Minister that she should make herself available. I welcome the fact that she is now indicating that she will make herself available to the House. It is important that the roles that we…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Given the severity of the issue and the need for the House and the wider community to know what will happen about peace and reconciliation, could we please have one hour for the question for urgent oral answer to the First Minister as opposed to the usual 30 minutes?
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Notwithstanding the fact that we have strong feelings about the rights of the people on the Garvaghy Road, I ask you to rule on whether both main parties are dragging the Assembly into disrepute with this spectacle. It does nobody in Northern Ireland any good — Mr Speaker, may I ask —…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. The First Minister was on the run yesterday, and she is still on the run today. We are now told that she is not available and that she will grace the House with her presence on Monday. That will be more than a week after she stood on the Garvaghy Road breaking the law and encouraging…
— we see exactly what they are like. We see clearly, more than anything else, their hatred and their intolerance; that has shone through more than anything else. Again, they are speaking about the rights of only one community. Here is the thing: Protestants and unionists have rights as well. Protestants and unionists…

Every time I hear Ms Sheerin, I am reminded of Shakespeare: "sound and fury, Signifying nothing". It is not her job to moderate these debates. The Member talks about social inclusion and the impact on the Garvaghy Road. Why was a school closed this week? A school had to be closed because of her party's actions in…
