  1. Member's statement: Age Discrimination

    Last month, I launched a public consultation on new legislation to tackle age discrimination in the provision of goods, facilities and services, which should have been addressed in Northern Ireland long ago. At present, it is still entirely lawful for someone to be treated unfairly simply because of their age when…

  2. Member's statement: Portadown College: Under-16 Girls' Football Team

    It is appropriate to place it on record that my prayers and deepest sympathy go to the family of young Morgan Henry, who, at 18 years of age, was killed on the Dungannon Road, Portadown, on Sunday morning. Today, they face the devastating task of preparing for the funeral of a young family member and the life sentence…

  3. Member's statement: A5: GAA President

    I declare an interest, as I have family members who live along the A5. This is a reminder to all in the Assembly that road infrastructure projects are for everyone in Northern Ireland. I say that because, unfortunately, comments from the GAA president, Jarlath Burns, last week seemed to miss that point. He claimed…

  4. Member's statement: Education Authority: Admission Emails

    Last Wednesday, an email was issued in error by the Education Authority regarding preschool and primary 1 placements. The error in itself caused confusion and anxiety. The start of a child's educational journey is a significant milestone for families, one that is already stressful. The email only added to the concern…

  5. Member's statement: Climate Change Research

    I bring to the House's attention a recent report on the impact of climate change on Northern Ireland. The study, which was led by the University of Bristol and linked to Queen's University Belfast, provides critical insights into the increasing climate risks that our rural areas face, particularly regarding health and…

  6. Member's statement: Killyman District: Fundraising

    I commend Killyman District on its fundraising event, "Killyman Does Strictly", on Friday and Saturday night. I am hard to impress — in fact, I am very hard to impress — but, on Saturday night, I was certainly impressed. The dancers were excellent, as was the planning, and a considerable amount of money was raised for…

  7. Member's statement: Mourne Mountains: Fires

    In April 2021, we all watched in horror as fire tore through the Mournes. We were promised swift action then. We were promised a comprehensive fire prevention and management plan to ensure that such devastation could never happen again, but here we are: it has happened again. As I stand here, the mountains are ablaze.…

  8. Member's statement: Education Authority: Admission Emails

    Last Thursday, some parents woke up to admission emails from the Education Authority (EA) regarding preschool and P1 places for their children. Those emails came as a surprise, given that parents had been told by the EA to expect that announcement on 9 April. It may seem like a small issue, but, for the parents,…

  9. Member's statement: Mountainview Tavern Attack: 50th Anniversary

    On Saturday afternoon, I attended a community commemoration on the Shankill Road to mark the 50th anniversary of the bomb and gun attack on the Mountainview Tavern by the IRA. That attack on Saturday 5 April 1975 resulted in the death of five civilians and injuries to over 60 people. On Saturday, I spoke to various…

  10. Member's statement: Cancer: Waiting Times

    I wish to express my concern at the most recent statistics for waiting times for cancer patients. Those statistics were published last week and are relevant for the period from October to December 2024. The figures do not make good reading. Only 87·5% of cancer patients started treatment within 31 days of a decision…

  11. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    It is DUP/TUV bingo today. We get the usual lines trumpeted out just because it is a Trump tariff. They talk about Northern Ireland first, yet all we have heard about today is the priority of American companies and the tax that they will pay coming into the EU, not realising — I am not sure what has clicked — that we…

  12. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    The tariffs are hugely significant globally, and we need to quickly figure out what it means for us here in Northern Ireland. It is clear that the UK Government must take some urgent steps to protect Northern Ireland's interests and ensure that our place in the UK internal market is fully safeguarded. There is still a…

  13. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    I appreciate the opportunity to address the impact of US trade tariffs on Northern Ireland, particularly on our small and medium-sized enterprises. Northern Ireland's SMEs are a vital part of our economy, driving innovation, creating jobs and supporting local communities. Many of those businesses rely on exports, with…

  14. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    A number of points deserve to be made in response to President Trump's announcement. Unsurprisingly, they have passed by the Member who tabled the Matter of the Day. The first is that the EU is not some champion of free and unfettered trade. President Trump is correct when he says that the US has been taken for a ride…

  15. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    I thank the Member for tabling the Matter of the Day. We are certainly living in very difficult and dangerous times. Watching the news outlets this morning after 8.00 am when the markets opened and seeing them slump was very scary indeed. President Trump has introduced a sweeping new tariff regime, with a blanket 10%…

  16. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    Today, the turmoil in the global stock markets continues and is heading into territory that has not been seen since the COVID pandemic. A 10% tariff on our exports to the USA kicked in this weekend. For our neighbours, that figure is 20%. While the pharma sector is yet to be sanctioned, the impact of tariffs on that…

  17. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    It was once remarked that, when the United States sneezes, the whole world gets a cold. That could be true today. There is a lot of righteous concern about the tariff announcement made by the president of the United States from those who have investments in the stock markets, but it is only fair that we set out the…

  18. Debate contribution: US Trade Tariffs: Impact on Northern Ireland

    I thank the Member for bringing this Matter of the Day to the House. He made a lot of salient points about the regrettable actions that the president of the United States has taken at a time when our whole world is in turmoil. We are seeing the continuing genocide of the Palestinian people, people closer to home…
