I speak in support of the Chinook Justice Campaign and the families who have fought for truth and accountability for more than 30 years. On 2 June 1994, a Chinook helicopter crashed into the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland, killing all 29 people on board. Among the passengers were 25 highly trained and dedicated British…
I rise to highlight the fact that this is still Cervical Screening Awareness Week, and I encourage every woman or person who receives an invitation for cervical screening to attend that appointment.

Today, many of our councils are marking Armed Forces Week 2025 by raising the Armed Forces Day support flag. I am very pleased to say that, this morning, the flag was raised in Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council by our mayor, Leah Kirkpatrick. While not all councils across our nation show the same respect to…
I rise today with profound sadness to reflect on last week, which was a sad week for anyone in the United Kingdom who values life.

A chairde, rinne muid Lá Domhanda na dTeifeach a cheiliúradh Dé hAoine seo caite. Mar sin de, ná bíodh aon amhras ann: tá fáilte roimh theifigh anseo. Níl le déanamh againn ach smaoineamh ar stair na himirce in Éirinn, ar na daoine sin a d'fhág Éire in aimsir an Drochshaoil ar na daoine sin a d'fhág Éire de dheasca…
I mark a significant milestone for a charity that has had a profound impact on the lives of children and families right across Northern Ireland, as Action for Children celebrates 25 years of delivering vital services here. That is a quarter of a century of dedication, care and advocacy being provided to some of our…
Today, I pay tribute to Mr Alex Jones from Bangor, who sadly passed away at the weekend. Alex was an incredible character and a much-loved personality.

Bhí Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh ó Kneecap os comhair Chúirt Dúiche Westminster faoin Terrorism Act an tseachtain seo caite. Cúis imní dúinn uilig an cúiseamh éagórach sin. Sheas Feisirí de chuid Shinn Féin i gcuideachta na gcéadta eile taobh amuigh den chúirt le tacaíocht a thabhairt do Liam Óg. Is cinedhíothú é an rud atá ag…
I rise to make a Member's statement about the website Tattle Life and the impact that it has had on the mental well-being of people in Northern Ireland. For the avoidance of doubt, I declare an interest as a paid consultant for an AI firm providing advice on the ethics of AI. Obviously, this statement is not about AI…
I am getting an increasing amount of correspondence from individuals who are concerned about our justice system. I cannot mention them all, but I want to mention one that I think is important.

I thank the Speaker for calling me to make a Member's statement about my public consultation on the Bill that I propose to introduce on an individual statutory duty of candour.

I highlight my call on the Department of Health to investigate the possibility of replicating the pay-related social insurance (PRSI) scheme in the South for those in the North who suffer from medical hair loss. Whilst we are all aware of the pressures that our public services face, brought on by over a decade of…

Mr Chambers asked the Minister for Infrastructure why, after heavy rainfall, so many roadways in North Down are left with areas of standing water, which can take a considerable amount of time to drain away and result in road safety issues.
Mr Durkan asked the Minister for Infrastructure, although all Members — he hopes — share the Minister's disappointment and frustration at today's judgement on the A5 but note that it pales in comparison with the devastation felt by the many families who have lost loved ones along that route and have led the campaign…
Public Disorder To ask the Minister of Justice to outline her Department’s response to the recent rioting, disorder and violence across Northern Ireland.
