Every imported question, contribution and motion, with its classification. Unflagged, uncertain and not-yet-analysed records are all included so the analysis can be checked independently.
The issue here is between right and wrong. You may live in the past, and your party may live in the past, but the rest of us are trying to move towards a better and brighter future. When we stood on the Garvaghy Road, we did so to protect those residents' right to live free from fear and intimidation, and we did so to…
Uncertain: close callParades, bonfires and commemorationsCriteria met: Identity framing.
First Minister, do you understand that a vast number of people across Northern Ireland think that you have chosen to damage community relations and promote intolerance rather than uphold your ministerial Pledge of Office?
You went back, 30 years, through your promotion of intolerance, refusal to negotiate and total misrepresentation of the nature of a peaceful and legal procession.
First Minister, in my opinion, not only did you breach your ministerial pledge at paragraphs (ce): "to support the rule of law unequivocally in word and deed" through your illegal blocking of a legal parade, but you failed to uphold paragraph (ca): "to promote the interests of the whole community ... towards the goal…
I thank the Member for the question, but the reality does not change: there will not be political agreement on the issue. We have to be honest about that. I have said that from day one, and it remains my position. It will not change. It is for the British Government to take forward whatever actions they select for…
I declare an interest as an armed forces veteran, and a proud one at that. I was proud to stand up and serve with Her Majesty's armed forces and would do so again tomorrow. Some of the comments from across the way are, frankly, disgraceful. The Executive have responsibility for this, given that many of the services —…
I know what our responsibility is when it comes to equality legislation, but there will not be a meeting of minds on the armed forces covenant. There will not be political agreement on how to proceed on that. My position is as I just stated: there cannot be special status or preferential treatment for British state…
As you know, First Minister, we support the implementation of the armed forces covenant, and we do so because we recognise the fact that everyone from this country deserves to have protections in law when they are being disadvantaged. Your Department is responsible for equality legislation. Please outline any efforts…
I absolutely agree with the Member. As he knows, the British army's involvement here over decades was seen by many of our people as that of an occupying military force. Its actions and the failure to secure truth and accountability for those actions continue to cast a long shadow over all efforts to deal with the…
Minister, for decades, British armed forces have been central to state terrorism in this place. Today, their security and intelligence agencies continue to play a malign role in our politics and society. That is reflected in the attempt to push through the so-called legacy legislation in Westminster today and…
Uncertain: close callLegacy of the Troubles, victims and paramilitarismCriteria met: Dog-whistle messaging.
Given that the armed forces covenant is intended to ensure that current and former service personnel are not disadvantaged in the areas of housing, healthcare and employment, will the First Minister explain why she continues to block its full implementation? Does she still present herself as the First Minister for all?
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. He rightly mentioned the rise in rent prices across Northern Ireland. Does he agree that that issue is driven primarily by demand and supply? We have a waste water crisis that the Infrastructure Minister has not solved. The Member's colleague, who is sitting beside him,…
