Will the Member accept that those interventions were required because parties such as his sought to thwart the democratic process as expressed through probably the largest democratic exercise that the United Kingdom has ever undertaken?

I beg to move Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. Time flies. This month, it will be nine years since the UK voted to leave the European Union. Of course, Northern Ireland voted to remain in the European Union. That act — specifically the fact that it was enacted in the hardest, most destructive way possible — remains, as…

Go raibh míle maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank all Members from different parties who contributed to this important debate.

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members opposite for bringing this important motion to the Floor and, indeed, all Members who have constructively added to the debate. The safety of our children in travelling to and from school is something that rightly unites the House. The SDLP's motion raises a valid…

Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank everybody who took part in the debate and those who tabled the motion and amendments. We cannot overstate the significance of the issue, which is most vividly expressed by the attendance in the Public Gallery of families who have been impacted on by serious road…

Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank all Members who have spoken, particularly the proposer of the motion. It is a very important issue. It is an issue on which I publicly stated my intentions a number of weeks ago. Members said that I did so just today, but it was a number of weeks ago. Sadly, the…

No parent should be sending their child to school in the morning and be worried that they may not come back. Tragically, events in recent months and years have made that a genuine concern for many parents across Northern Ireland. We must recognise that the danger is particularly acute in rural areas, where narrow…

Since becoming an elected politician, I, like others, have spent a huge amount of time lobbying for road safety in our communities and at schools. Trying to get things done in that space is frustratingly slow, and I am always left asking the question, "Why do we seemingly have to wait for a tragedy before action is…

The matter before us is emotive. It is important to safeguard children travelling to and from school on Education Authority-provided transport and public transport. The latest figures, from 2022-23, highlight the fact that a significant number of children rely on bus transport: 42% of post-primary students and 7% of…

I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion. I commend the SDLP for bringing it to the House. I welcome the families who have lost loved ones through tragedies at bus stops. I can only imagine the heartbreak that you are experiencing. Indeed, as a parent, I can hardly imagine what you feel. I witnessed my two…

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Thank you for allowing a point of order. I apologise to you, Mr Speaker, the Minister for Infrastructure and the House for not being in my place to ask the first question of Question Time. I will not make a habit of it. I apologise.

Three years ago, I established a new role of Commissioner Designate for Victims of Crime for Northern Ireland. The objective of the role was to give a voice to victims of crime, promote their rights under the Victim Charter and raise their issues with government and criminal justice organisations. I was also keen that…

I am very pleased to have recently launched a draft victims and witnesses of crime strategy 2025-2030 for public consultation. It aims to ensure that victims and witnesses are aware of their rights and are fully informed throughout their journey and that services are tailored and responsive. We are trying to create…

I reassure Members that I have no intention of our courts being opened up to broadcasting in the way that, for example, has happened in the US, where they are a televisual spectacular as opposed to being conducted in the interests of justice. What we are talking about is not a proposal that would allow the recording…

As the Member will know, we touched on a separate issue on the family courts. However, the broadcasting of certain court proceedings would be a positive step in improving the public's right to see justice done. A consultation was published last Tuesday, in which I propose that the following aspects of the Court of…

I can explain it. It was because the previous Chief Constable decided not to go out and recruit in a period when the Executive were not here, because he did not feel that he had the confidence, in terms of political leadership, to spend that money without the political cover to do so. That is why the figures fell…

I thank the Minister for her answer. I am sure that other MLAs' constituencies are no different from my constituency, given that response times are a real problem throughout the country. I and a lot of people out there do not think that we have the numbers to respond in order to keep the people in this country safe in…

The protection of neighbourhood policing is a matter for the Chief Constable, who has to live within his budget and make decisions about his priorities. It is not for me to tell him where he spends the money that the Department gives him. It is, however, important to note that, throughout the constraints that my…

We are taking action to streamline. The Department is holding a 12-week public consultation on proposals to simplify the sentencing framework by introducing a single, flexible order that will be supervised by a single organisation in the Youth Justice Agency. The duration and requirements of an order will be tailored…

The current sentencing landscape for Youth Court disposals for children in Northern Ireland is very complex. There are seven different types of community orders available to the courts, some of which are rarely, if ever, used. Currently, the orders are provided through different pieces of legislation, some of which…
