  1. Debate contribution: Accessibility: Constituency Offices

    On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Yesterday, during Question Time to the Minister for Communities, I was not in my seat when I was called to ask my question. I record my apologies to the Assembly and the Speaker's Office for that.

  2. Debate contribution: Accessibility: Constituency Offices

    The Assembly Commission takes these matters seriously and engages with disability groups as part of its wider work, but issues relating to the provision of constituency services by Members are the responsibility of each individual Member, not the Assembly Commission. Properties leased as constituency offices should be…

  4. Debate contribution: Accessibility: Constituency Offices

    I thank the Member for his question. As Members will be aware, the Assembly Commission published the Assembly Members (Office and Staffing Costs and Allowances) Determination (Northern Ireland) 2025, which is referred to as the "2025 determination", on 7 February this year. The 2025 determination sought to extend the…

  5. Debate contribution: Security Arrangements: Parliament Buildings

    Obviously, the Assembly Commission takes security very seriously. There are measures in place to mitigate such incidents. I do not have any detail about any serious incidents that have taken place, so I will have to come back to the Member.

  7. Debate contribution: Security Arrangements: Parliament Buildings

    I thank the Member for his question. The most recent review of security at Parliament Buildings was carried out in 2022 by the PSNI. That followed earlier reviews carried out in 2011 and 2015. The PSNI has agreed to carry out another security review, which it hopes to commence this month.

  8. Debate contribution: AI: Northern Ireland Assembly

    Not with particular regard to financial savings that can be made; I assume that that is what you are referring to. I do not doubt, however, that that could be an element of the terms of reference that the new working group will establish. It is not, however, something that we have concrete plans to do on the Assembly…

  10. Debate contribution: AI: Northern Ireland Assembly

    I thank the Member for her question. The Assembly Commission recognises that the rapid growth of artificial intelligence is a development that cannot be ignored by any modern organisation, because of the potential that it may provide for innovation.

  11. Debate contribution: Website Redesign: Northern Ireland Assembly

    I agree with the Member. That is why a consultation was held on the usability of the current system. There was a recognition that work needed to be done. The project was brought forward for that very reason.

  13. Debate contribution: Website Redesign: Northern Ireland Assembly

    I thank the Member for his question. A project is under way with the aim of creating a new Assembly website that will be a trusted authority on all Assembly business and a modern online tool where people can come to learn and engage. The redesign will support the Assembly Commission's corporate objectives to make the…

  14. Debate contribution: VE Day Commemoration: Parliament Buildings

    I thank the Member for her question. The Assembly Commission's special lighting policy seeks to ensure that the lighting of Parliament Buildings is done in a balanced way. Clearly, VE Day is an important anniversary that will be recognised across Europe. As I have indicated, the Speaker is making arrangements for the…

  15. Debate contribution: VE Day Commemoration: Parliament Buildings

    I thank the Member for answering on behalf of the Commission. It is good to know that we are making plans to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Before I came in, I went into the Senate Chamber and read the inscription of gratitude: the Senate Chamber was used as an operations room by the Royal Air Force during the…

  16. Debate contribution: VE Day Commemoration: Parliament Buildings

    I thank the Member for her question. As was the case for the 80th anniversary of D-Day last year, it will be part of the Speaker's representational responsibilities to determine the arrangements for the Assembly to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War at Parliament Buildings. I understand that…

  17. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Accessibility

    I thank the Member. The disability access audit should be completed and a report with the initial findings presented in May 2025. We will not know until we get the report what works are required. We will hopefully have an update for Members at that stage.

  19. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Accessibility

    I thank the Member for her question. I do not have the specific information on that. We can come back to the Member, but I suspect that that is, likewise, included in the audit. I expect that it is, but I am sure that we can write to give you clarity on that.

  21. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Accessibility

    I thank the Member for his question. The initial findings will be presented following the audit, so we will hopefully have them soon. The audit will identify any areas in which improvements can be made in order to enhance accessibility for people with disabilities.

    With your permission, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I will group questions 5, 12 and 15 together. I thank the Members for their questions.

  25. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Roof Repairs

    I note that the Member used the term "confidential settlement". Will we never understand or get to the truth of the detail of how much of the bill is being paid from the public purse and how much is being paid by the contractor who caused the damage to the roof of the Building?
