  4. Debate contribution: Prisons: Compassionate Temporary Release

    I thank the Minister for her answer. I know that the Kelly family will be relieved, rightly so, that that murderer is no longer roaming the streets. The case demonstrates the importance of the rule of law. The dogs on the street know that Michelle O'Neill stood proudly breaking the law and calling for others to do the…

  5. Debate contribution: Prisons: Compassionate Temporary Release

    • Mrs Naomi Long Alliance
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    With your permission, Mr Deputy Speaker, I will answer questions 1 and 6 together. Where a decision by the Northern Ireland Prison Service to refuse compassionate temporary release is successfully challenged in the courts, the Prison Service is required to comply with the court's ruling. In such cases, the safeguards…

  6. Debate contribution: Members' Code of Conduct and the Guide to the Rules relating to the Conduct of Members

    I rise to support the Chair's remarks on the proposed changes and to commend the work of the Committee over the past number of months and, indeed, years. It is a very good Committee, which works very well. The amendments to the unacceptable behaviours policy are common sense and are borne out of experience over the…

  7. Debate contribution: Members' Code of Conduct and the Guide to the Rules relating to the Conduct of Members

    Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I rise on behalf of the Committee on Standards to present its report on the proposed updates to the Assembly Members' code of conduct and the guide to the rules relating to the conduct of Members. The code sets out the minimum ethical standards expected of all Members when…

  9. Debate contribution: Public Petition: Road Safety at Darragh Cross

    After the exchanges that we have just had in the Chamber, it feels slightly incongruous to be presenting a highly localised petition to the Assembly. I make no apology for doing so, however, because there has not been much that has been constructive in the exchanges that we have heard today. I make it clear that my…

  10. Member's statement: Garvaghy Road Protest: Sinn Féin Ministers

    There are several Members in the House who have broken the law in the last 24 hours. I expected that behaviour from the mouthpieces of the IRA. However, I did not expect it from the SDLP. In my constituency, the Economy Minister, Caoimhe Archibald, called for protests against the Orange Order parade on the Garvaghy…

  11. Member's statement: Garvaghy Road Protest: Sinn Féin Ministers

    It is clear from the hysteria over the weekend that nationalism is in turmoil. Sinn Féin is using the people of the Garvaghy Road as part of its election campaign. Sinn Féin is gaslighting nationalists in general to hide its failures, such as being on the wrong side of history when it comes to immigration and its…

  12. Member's statement: Sinn Féin: Commemorations

    I believe in a simple principle: there is a difference between right and wrong. I want to live in a society where that distinction is not blurred, where the rule of law is upheld and where violence and intimidation are never excused because of the cause behind them. When I look at Sinn Féin, however, I see a different…

  13. Member's statement: Political Instability: Generational Impact

    I congratulate you, Mr Speaker, on the birth of your granddaughter Esther last week. I want to talk about children. I spent last week in the children's hospital at the Royal with my son, and I thank everyone for their comments and good wishes. There is nothing quite as humbling as being in the children's ward and…

  17. Member's statement: Garvaghy Road: Rule of Law

    The rule of law is the foundation of any Government, and because so much today has been fixated on hatred of the Orange Order and unionist people, I feel that the whole conversation has moved away from that. The Finance Minister, like myself, was in court on Saturday night into the early hours of Sunday morning and…

  20. Member's statement: Garvaghy Road: Community

    I find it interesting that the Members on the Benches opposite who had so much to say about my defence of the Garvaghy Road residents have scurried out of the Chamber, just when I have something to say about that issue. Much has been said this morning. I was with the Garvaghy Road community over the past few days, and…

  21. Member's statement: Garvaghy Road: Rights

    The weekend was what can only be described as absolutely and utterly depressing. It was depressing for everybody. A fundamental question has to be asked of politicians across the House who are bound to show leadership in their elected office: what did the actions of the weekend achieve? What does marching down the…

  25. Member's statement: Garvaghy Road: Protests

    I will call it as it is. Last week, I waited with bated breath to see what the Parades Commission would come up with. As I was sitting in my home, what shocked me about the whole thing was when my daughter, who is in her early 20s, said that she was afraid. She did not live through the Troubles and does not know what…
