Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank those who contributed to the debate.

At the outset, I acknowledge how surreal it feels to be getting on with constituency matters, given the difficult position that Northern Ireland finds itself in. Nonetheless, the show must go on. Assembly business must continue, and it is right that it does. Anybody who knows me knows that I am passionate about buses,…

On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. You often criticise those on the Back Benches when trying to uphold law and order in the House.

Assessment details for Member's statement: Garvaghy Road Community Official Assembly record for Member's statement: Garvaghy Road Community
Over the past number of days and weeks, a lot has been said about the Garvaghy Road community and the people who live there. It has been said by those whose strategy is to dehumanise and demonise that community, so that they have free rein to terrorise and re-traumatise that community. On that note, I pay tribute — I…

My Member's statement may take a slightly different tone from that of others.

As a member of the Northern Ireland Policing Board (NIPB), I have watched policing operations over the past number of years. I have watched operation after operation with interest.

Two things can be true at once. My party wants a resolution to a parade dispute that has gone on for a long time and has a dark past. The Orange Order has abided by the rule of law for the past 28 years. When I worked in a senior operational role in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon policing district, members of the…

We have entered day 3 of the Portadown district being prevented from lawfully returning home for the first time in 28 years by mob rule.

We are at a moment of acute political — possibly even societal — crisis, given what has become a stand-off.

It is clear that some people want to use that dispute to provoke division,…

Following on from IRA bomber Pat Sheehan, I am clear in what I say: the leader of unionism is Gavin Robinson. I am proud to say that. He does a much better job than the part-timer Michelle O'Neill, First Minister on the run from the Chamber. We will see whether she shows up later today. A week ago, the Chamber heard…

Now that we are in the midst of another political crisis, brought to us courtesy of the Orange Order and the DUP, many people are rightly asking, "Who is the leader in unionism?". Who is the leader in unionism? It was not too long ago that it was Jeffrey Donaldson. Now he is lying in Maghaberry, waiting to be…

When a person in Northern Ireland is convicted of a child sex offence, they are rightly barred from volunteering or working with children. The result of an Access NI check prevents convicted individuals from roles that engage children in the community for reasons of safeguarding and public protection. Why are the same…

At a Stormont Committee on 15 September, Chris Hazzard MP said: "if Michelle O'Neill goes to the shops tonight, she is First Minister.

These are the words not of Irish republicans or nationalists but of people from a unionist background: "My grandfather was an Orangeman from Portadown. I stand with the protesters".
