With permission, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I wish to make a statement to set out my plans for the launch of the public consultation on the draft remediation strategy for the Mobuoy site. At the outset, I declare in the register that my stepfather is quality manager for phase 1 of the A6 project. I welcome the…
Thank you, Mr Speaker. As a Member for Upper Bann, I mark the passing of an incredible and remarkable man: Hilbert Willis. Hilbert was 101 years old. A football fanatic and loyal-to-the-core supporter of Loughgall Football Club, his life was one that was well and truly lived. He described himself as an "all-round…
I congratulate our very own road racing legend, Mr Michael Dunlop, on winning his thirty-third TT on the Isle of Man last week. It is a truly incredible achievement that is worthy of celebration and recognition. It is an honour for another sporting hero from Northern Ireland of whom we can be proud. The Dunlop family…
Today marks the beginning of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Week. Approximately 100,000 people have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis worldwide. In Ireland, we have the highest rate of cystic fibrosis per capita in the world, and, in the North, 500 people live with it. In Cystic Fibrosis Week, we have the opportunity to raise…
Yet another morning, and I wake up to yet another humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza. The Madleen is a civilian vessel with 12 unarmed individuals carrying essential humanitarian aid for those in desperate need, and the eyes of the world are on it. Yet, instead of just facing the dangers of the open seas,…
Today is Batten Disease Awareness Day. This is a day that carries great meaning for families around the world, and for around 100 to 150 families in the UK: a community that refuses to give up hope. Batten disease is a rare inherited disorder of the nervous system that typically begins in childhood. It is progressive…
I acknowledge the significant achievement in the South of holding the highest educational attainment rate anywhere in the world. According to CBRE's research in the 'Global Tech Talent Guidebook 2025', over 52% of the population in the South now hold a bachelor's degree or higher qualification. That is a remarkable…
I rise today not just as a public representative but as a father, a son and a human being who is horrified and terrified at what is unfolding in front of our eyes. I cannot and will not remain silent in the face of such injustice and inhumanity. The overnight Israeli interception of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition,…
I bring to the attention of the House a service of remembrance that was held yesterday in St John's Church of Ireland in Moneymore called 'Life Beyond'. I think that it was the third such ecumenical service. It is run by Rural Support and Embrace FARM. The purpose of the service is to remember farmers who have died by…
I am concerned about the current capacity of the Education Minister's School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill to deliver for parents. Statutory guidance, which will dictate what schools must comply with when the Bill passes, has still not been published by the Department or shared with the Committee.…
For the majority of my time in the Assembly, since 2010, I have worked incredibly hard with Departments, outside bodies and charities to modernise legislation to protect women and girls. I sit on the all-party group (APG) on domestic and sexual violence — I have done so for a considerable time and was chair for a…

I commend the activists who sailed on the ship the Madleen to bring aid to Gaza. That aid consisted mostly of baby food and rice. Everyone here is aware of the blockade that Israel has imposed on the Gaza Strip for a number of months. Everybody is also aware that the Israeli Government are using starvation as a weapon…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I welcome the fact that you have made that announcement. It is an extremely serious matter, into which the Committee for Finance has been looking. Frankly, it is a shambolic situation. Will your office confirm, today or subsequently, whether this is the first time that the Assembly has…
