  1. Member's statement: Bangor Football Club

    In what has been a very special few weeks for sport in North Down, I congratulate Bangor Football Club on the fantastic achievement of winning the very competitive Championship and securing promotion to the NIFL premiership. It is a moment of immense pride for the club, players, the manager, Lee Feeney, the coaching…

  2. Member's statement: Dungannon: Sports Clubs

    I flag up and acknowledge the remarkable achievements of three sports clubs in Dungannon, which will, over the next two weekends, see our soccer, rugby and hockey clubs compete in major finals. On Saturday, Dungannon Swifts FC will take on Cliftonville in the Irish Cup final at Windsor Park. On the same day and at the…

  3. Member's statement: Art and Protest: Kneecap

    I am not to be found wanting when it comes to advocating and speaking in the Chamber for the arts as a powerful force for change, for the expression of solidarity and of political pressure. In the Chamber, I have also been a vocal supporter of the Irish language, which I want to be a living, breathing vehicle for…

  4. Member's statement: Foyle: Sectarian Violence

    I rise with sadness and concern following a week of sectarianism and violence in my constituency of Foyle. On Easter Monday, we saw violence from republicans near the Fountain estate. Following the Easter Monday parade, petrol bombs, fireworks and masonry were thrown near an old people's home. At the weekend, we saw…

  5. Member's statement: Bangor Football Club

    Saturday past saw yet another significant day in the history of Bangor Football Club, when it was presented with the Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) Championship trophy. The club's elevation to the Premiership has brought much joy to the people of the city of Bangor and has created the exciting prospect of big…

  6. Member's statement: Casement Park

    The House must come out with one voice and the clear message that it is time to move forward and build Casement Park. For far too long, Casement Park has stood silent: a sleeping giant in the heart of West Belfast. The site has lain dormant for more than a decade, while our young people, our clubs and our communities…

  7. Member's statement: Northlands Addiction Treatment Centre, Derry/Londonderry

    There is palpable outrage across Derry and beyond at the disgraceful decision to cut core funding for the Northlands Centre. It is shameful that Executive parties and all of us stood here in February speaking passionately about the impact of the addiction crisis in the north-west, which is enveloping families and…

  8. Member's statement: Global Intergenerational Week

    I take the opportunity to highlight Global Intergenerational Week, a campaign that runs every year and aims to inspire us to embrace intergenerational practice and learn more about the benefits of connecting people of all ages. This year, it runs from 24 to 30 April, and, no doubt, there will be events taking place…

  9. Member's statement: Kneecap: Alleged Incitement to Violence

    I raise a serious matter that was aired in public discourse and in the media last weekend and over the last number of hours: the alleged commentary that has come to light from the rap group, Kneecap. The serious allegation that, at one of their concerts, members of the band shouted, "Kill your local MP" and "The only…

  10. Member's statement: Sectarian Intimidation

    I call on all Members of the Chamber to send a strong message today that we call out and condemn those behind sectarian intimidation and threats. In recent weeks, we have seen sectarian hate directed at a pregnant woman in the Suffolk Drive area of west Belfast; towards residents of Altona Drive in Lisburn; and at the…

  11. Debate contribution: Assembly Business

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek clarification on the appropriateness of public commentary by Members concerning matters that are under active police investigation. I refer specifically to social media posts by the Alliance MLA for East Antrim, Mr Danny Donnelly, regarding the inflammatory statements that were…

  12. Debate contribution: Supreme Court Ruling: Legal Definition of a Woman

    I welcome the ruling of the UK Supreme Court. It is disappointing, as others have said, that it took this case to go to court to confirm what we already know: the definition of a woman. Over the past year, I have been working on progressing a private Member's Bill on women and girls in sport, because I feel really…

  13. Debate contribution: Supreme Court Ruling: Legal Definition of a Woman

    I broadly welcome the clarity that the UK Supreme Court ruling has provided, not because it excludes but because it gives certainty where there has long been uncertainty, particularly in law, policy and public service delivery, which is where it is of interest to us as policymakers. Some have criticised the fact that…

  14. Debate contribution: Supreme Court Ruling: Legal Definition of a Woman

    I thank my colleague Jonny Buckley for bringing this Matter of the Day to the House. It is very timely, and it is important that the House has the measure of what the Supreme Court ruling was about. It was about the Equality Act 2010 and how the terms "women" and "sex" refer strictly to biological sex. The issue at…

  15. Debate contribution: Supreme Court Ruling: Legal Definition of a Woman

    I welcome the ruling. As my colleague has said, it is a victory not just for women in the UK but for common sense. Nevertheless, I express my regret that this was the length to which women in this country had to go to ensure that their spaces were protected and their very existence recognised, defined and protected…

  16. Debate contribution: Supreme Court Ruling: Legal Definition of a Woman

    I wish to contribute to this Matter of the Day and appreciate that it has been tabled. It is timely, as it allows us to put on record our thoughts on the Supreme Court ruling. It is an extremely sensitive issue. I emphasise the fact that we need to look at the equality law in its totality and to think about…

  17. Debate contribution: Supreme Court Ruling: Legal Definition of a Woman

    First, I want to turn to some comments that the leader of the Opposition made before the business was suspended for Question Time. He said that it was "dehumanising" in some way to trans individuals. I take issue with that. In fact, all that I have heard from this side is that single-sex spaces need to be protected…

    Absolutely. As I said, I meet the DVA regularly on a range of issues. I am happy to do that in order to see where things are and how we can improve the system.

  20. Debate contribution: Driver and Vehicle Agency: Driving Licence Processing Times

    I thank the Minister for her answer. I will try to be brief. Will the Minister commit to meeting the DVA again to hear about some of the issues that constituents raise, such as the lack of a digital process for full driving licence applications and the impact that that undoubtedly has on processing times?

    I have had a number of meetings with the DVA in recent weeks, but I do not have a specific date for the Member. I have not met it specifically about the processing of driving licences, but, if the Member wants to provide me with more information about local experiences, I can raise the issue with the DVA and try to…

    As the Member is aware, my Department is developing the new regional strategic transport network transport plan, which will set out priorities for investment in our road, rail and interurban limited stock bus network, including park-and-ride, through to 2035. I expect a draft of the plan to be ready for public…

    Thank you, Minister. It is reassuring to hear that. You have answered my supplementary question. It is great to hear about that progress. When will the regional strategic transport network transport plan be published? Do you have any further details on the timeline for it?

    Major road schemes are an important part of the work that my Department delivers as we seek to reduce journey times, increase reliability and improve road safety. The A2 Buncrana Road scheme will be considered as part of the north-west transport plan, which will be subject to a public consultation process. Views from…

    As I said, we have to ensure that we engage with all the stakeholders that will be impacted on, including the businesses that operate in that area. To ensure that we get it right, it is important that the process conclude. As I said, it will commence in the next few weeks. Hopefully, with all being well, unless there…
