  2. Debate contribution: End Israeli Impunity in Gaza

    I wrote an extensive section for my contribution that highlighted Sinn Féin's support for global terrorism, including support for Libya's Colonel Gaddafi and Yasser Arafat of the PLO, and how it is that that drives Sinn Féin's bias in the region and its ideology. I decided against including it, however. I instead…

  3. Debate contribution: End Israeli Impunity in Gaza

    Thank you, Mr Speaker. What is happening in the Middle East is a tragedy, as are other conflicts right across the globe, many of which receive little or no recognition. Thousands of people are being killed and injured right across the Middle East. Families are being separated and displaced. There is forced hunger and…

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Under Standing Order 13, I would like to make a point of order on the inclusion in the Order Paper of the private Members' motion entitled "End Israeli Impunity in Gaza". I wish you to adjudicate as to whether the motion is compatible with the International Holocaust Remembrance…

  7. Debate contribution: End Israeli Impunity in Gaza

    I beg to move Since October 2023, at least 56,000 Palestinian people have been killed in Israel's genocidal war in Gaza. Almost 1,000 have been slaughtered in the West Bank. According to UNICEF, Gaza has become a graveyard for children. It is now the most dangerous place on this planet for children to live. Today in…

  10. Debate contribution: The draft Legal Complaints and Regulation (Penalty) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    I appreciate the Minister's giving way. Can he outline why we have not been able to calculate an exact cost at this stage, given that the legislation passed nine years ago? It is difficult for us, as Members, to go a solicitor and say that we voted through these regulations, but we cannot tell you how much it will…

    Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I am grateful to Members for their contributions. As I set out, these regulations give effect to the Legal Complaints and Regulation Act 2016 by establishing the post of Legal Services Oversight Commissioner.

  13. Debate contribution: The draft Legal Complaints and Regulation (Penalty) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    During the process of reviewing the statutory rules, which will enact the role of the Legal Services Oversight Commissioner, the Finance Committee received a briefing on 21 May 2025, at which I raised a number of questions, and another briefing on Wednesday 18 June, at which I raised more questions. I do not feel as…

    I welcome the fact that we have reached the stage of being able to move forward with providing the Legal Services Oversight Commissioner with a full range of powers from September this year, particularly as the Act was passed in 2016. There has been considerable delay in getting to this point. As we heard at…

  15. Debate contribution: The draft Legal Complaints and Regulation (Penalty) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    I will draw my remarks to a conclusion, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I hope that the Minister will consider offering clarity in his winding- up remarks about whether he offered a direction on the A5. That is of the utmost importance.

  17. Debate contribution: The draft Legal Complaints and Regulation (Penalty) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    My utmost important point is this: the question was not answered as to whether the Minister gave a direction to his officials in October in relation to progressing the A5. Will he clarify that point now — I will give way to him — or in his remarks later? That is critical for the people who care about the construction…

    I thank the Minister for taking an intervention. I really do welcome what she has said, particularly about the geophysical surveys. However, what is really important is what happens when those are carried out, who carries them out, and that institutions or churches, which are not covered by the public cemetery rules,…

    I appreciate the junior Minister giving way and welcome her comments about not replicating the Southern scheme. I appreciate that we are in the early stages, Minister, but will you clarify whether there have been any discussions about Capita's involvement in any of the payment schemes?

    I thank the junior Minister for giving way. I may be reading too much into what you have just said, but is the posthumous date, for example, something that you will work on with departmental officials over the summer with the aim of tabling an amendment, as opposed to the Committee having to do so?
