Every imported question, contribution and motion, with its classification. Unflagged, uncertain and not-yet-analysed records are all included so the analysis can be checked independently.
For me, as someone who has crossed the road to help people and who has had bones broken for helping people in need, to be blamed for bringing scrutiny and accused that my solidarity with the Justice Minister was somehow "feigned" — that is the language that a Member used — went against every fibre in my body. My…
Let me address something. I know what it is like to be attacked in your own home and not to feel safe in it. I lived under serious threat. I lived behind armoured glass. Members of my family sent me messages this week saying that an Alliance MLA had blamed me —
I also unequivocally condemn the terrible scenes outside the Justice Minister and Councillor Long's house, as, last week, I condemned the terrible attack at the constituency office of Minister Kimmins and the graffiti attack on Mr Frew's constituency office. I genuinely believe that an attack on one of us is an attack…
I begin by expressing my solidarity with Minister Naomi Long and her husband, Councillor Michael Long. What happened outside their home last week was not a protest; it was intimidation, and it was wrong. A genuine protest is open. It is about conviction and ideas. Intimidation is about fear. When people cover their…
There is no doubt that the right to protest should be respected and protected for everyone. Protest is a human right and a vital mechanism for holding those who are in power to account. What happened outside the Justice Minister's house on Wednesday evening was no protest, however, and it was not legitimate protest.…
I join Members in condemning the protest outside the home of the Justice Minister. Regardless of the public profile of any of us in the Chamber, we are all entitled to a private family life. There is a fundamental right to freedom of speech and to protest, and those are values that I will always defend, but I do not…
FlaggedDecided on a second assessment.Legacy of the Troubles, victims and paramilitarism
Let me be clear: there is no place in our society, or in any democratic society, for threats, intimidation or harassment, especially against those who stand up and step forward to serve the public, and there never was. We may sit on different Benches and stand for different things, and we may disagree, often…
Mr Speaker, I associate myself and my party with your remarks at the outset. Normally, on matters such as this, most Members say, "I would like to associate myself with the comments of all Members", but, unfortunately, on this occasion, I cannot do that. What we saw last week was wholly unacceptable. There is no…
I, too, condemn the intimidation that we all witnessed last week through not only the attack on Sinn Féin's constituency offices but the mob that turned up at a politician's private residence. Naomi and Michael Long have my sympathy, as do the Sinn Féin representatives. It is absolutely wrong to go to someone's…
I utterly condemn the actions that occurred outside the home of Michael and Naomi Long last week. It was a dark week for politics here: as Mr Tennyson and the Speaker have said, there were attacks on my colleagues' constituency office and then the mob outside Naomi Long's home. There is no justification for that. It…
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I utterly condemn the disgraceful intimidation that took place at the home of Minister Naomi Long and Councillor Michael Long last week. I also take the opportunity to express my solidarity to Minister Liz Kimmins and Dáire Hughes MP on the foot of the disgraceful attack experienced at their…

Ms Brownlee asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether, as a part-funder of the digital transformation flexible fund (DTFF), he is as concerned as she is that, out of 18 successful applications, only two were from Carrickfergus, while none were from Larne, thus leaving East Antrim…

Miss McAllister asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for an update on the implementation of the animal welfare pathway, given that he cares about animal welfare and that it is an issue about which her constituents are regularly in contact.
