  1. Debate contribution: Legacy: Holding the Irish Government to Account

    No, I will not. Allow me to go on further. I will let you back in. The DUP agreed to that. It was far from a perfect mechanism, but, at least, it had buy-in from many victims. At least, they had a say in it and had input to it and were consulted on it. Seventeen and a half thousand people responded to that…

  2. Debate contribution: Legacy: Holding the Irish Government to Account

    Absolutely not. The motion highlights the need for answers, including answers from the Irish Government. I am clear that victims deserve the truth, wherever it leads. We must ensure that the approach to legacy is not about closing doors but about opening the door to truth, accountability and healing. Victims — not…

  3. Debate contribution: Legacy: Holding the Irish Government to Account

    Thank you, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I noticed a lot of use of the word "we" in the speech of the previous Member to speak. This is not about "we". At the heart of any debate on legacy must be the victims and survivors of the conflict. Their pain, their voices and their right to truth and justice need to be the…

  4. Debate contribution: Legacy: Holding the Irish Government to Account

    I beg to move Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. Given the events of the past few days, this is a crucial motion, and the Assembly once again has the opportunity to stand with the innocent victims of terrorist violence by supporting it. The DUP will always stand with the innocent victims of terrorism. We record once again…

  5. Debate contribution: Dilapidation Bill: Extension of Committee Stage

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. On behalf of the AERA Committee, I request an extension to the Committee Stage of the Dilapidation Bill to 15 May 2026. That date was agreed after discussions at the Committee meeting on 11 September 2025. The Committee was first briefed on the proposed content of the Bill at…

  6. Debate contribution: Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill: Extension of Committee Stage

    Thank you. As Chair of the Committee for the Executive Office, I propose an extension to the Committee Stage of the Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill. The legislation is not only technically complex but deeply personal. It seeks to deliver truth and…

  7. Member's statement: Jaidyn Rice

    During recess, on 8 July, Jaidyn Rice, a 16-year-old girl, was killed on the West Circular Road in Bangor. Jaidyn had just finished her GCSEs and was looking forward to going back to school to complete her A levels. She was an active member of the army cadets, where she excelled in first aid, and was considering a…

  8. Member's statement: Aitheantas don Ghaeilge

    Tá an Ghaeilge faoi bhláth. Tá líon na bhfoghlaimeoirí ag fás, tá earnáil na Gaelscolaíochta ag borradh léi, agus tá coimisinéir teanga le ceapadh gan mhoill. Is léir go bhfuil an Ghaeilge ag dul ó neart go neart. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go dtacaímidne uile anseo sa tSeomra seo leis an fhás sin. In ainneoin an dul chun…

  9. Member's statement: Gynaecological Cancer

    September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month and is an important opportunity to raise awareness of ovarian, womb, cervical, vulva and vaginal cancers. Those cancers affect thousands of women across the UK and Northern Ireland, yet awareness, detection and outcomes remain poor. In recent weeks, I have received…

  10. Member's statement: Codetta: 25th Anniversary

    Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. As many of you will know, my home town of Derry proudly carries the title "City of Song". Few ensembles encapsulate that spirit more than the choir Codetta, one of our most distinguished musical institutions. Codetta is celebrating a remarkable 25 years of singing…

  11. Member's statement: Private Car Parking Firms

    I rise today to condemn and to highlight the behaviour of some private car parking firms that operate across Northern Ireland with impunity. As we all know, those firms use bully-boy tactics and target ordinary people with extortionate fines and threats that are completely disproportionate to the circumstances. In my…

  12. Member's statement: Organ Donation

    I will talk about organ donation, given that it is Organ Donation Week. It is life-changing. It is an act of generosity that can be tinged with joy and grief, depending on the circumstances. Across the UK, 8,000 people are waiting for a transplant, and 276 of them are children. However, only 1% of deaths happen in…

  13. Member's statement: Irish Presidential Election

    On 24 October, the people of the Irish Republic will select their new president. That provides an opportunity for parties to set out their vision and seek the trust of the electorate. Where is Sinn Féin in that election? After months of speculation, of shadow-boxing and of telling the people of Ireland that its…

  14. Member's statement: Bovine Tuberculosis: Farming Families

    Last week, a number of Sinn Féin colleagues and I met farming families in Seaforde in South Down to hear about the devastating impact that bovine tuberculosis is having on them. What I heard that night can only be described as heartbreaking. Generations — three, four, five or six generations — of families have seen…

  15. Member's statement: Alcohol and Drug Addiction

    I rise to discuss the blight of alcohol and drug addiction in our communities. It is one of the greatest social challenges facing our society. Behind the statistics are real people, families and communities that are being torn apart. Every week, I meet families in West Tyrone who are watching loved ones spiral into…

  16. Member's statement: Irish Presidential Election

    Yesterday, in the Northern Ireland Assembly, I joined others in meeting the Fine Gael Oireachtas team, led by Emer Currie and Frank Feighan. As is always the case with good friends and colleagues, we had a full and frank discussion, about everything from legacy and Ireland's lack of defence spending to the Windsor…

  17. Member's statement: Child Safeguarding

    I rise to speak about children who are missing in education. I am specifically talking about children who are not registered in school or as being in home education. We do not know how many kids are in that situation, whether they are in harm's way or whether they need support. However, from speaking to the Education…

  18. Member's statement: Persecution of Christians: Democratic Republic of the Congo

    I rise to highlight the persecution of Christians, particularly those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Often, the world turns a blind eye to that brutal news. It does not get the same coverage as many other issues and the persecution of many other peoples. Open Doors reports that over 380 million Christians…

Tugann an lá sin deis don domhan ár machnamh a dhéanamh — agus ár dtiomantas a athdhearbhú — ar an dóigh a dtig linn deireadh a chur leis an choimhlint, cearta an duine a chosaint agus síocháin…
