Focusing on the economic benefits, does the First Minister agree that her full attendance in Washington, in her position as a First Minister for all, would have added value to the visit?

As the Member is aware, I did not attend Washington last week for reasons that I have just referenced: the situation in Palestine and the stance of the US Administration. I simply will not turn the other way when I see such a breach of international law and the genocide of the Palestinian people. I tell you all, when…

Yes. I call on the Israeli Government to reinstate and respect the ceasefire that was achieved. However, the international community, including in Britain and Dublin, needs to ensure that all pressure is exerted to avert what is happening right now. Israel cannot just be allowed to continue to breach international…

The Palestinian people in Gaza have endured horrendous slaughter at the hands of the Israeli occupying forces over the past year and a half in particular. Do you agree that Israel needs to stop its attacks and respect the ceasefire?

Last night's air strikes on Gaza were nothing short of a brutal and inhumane assault on people who are defenceless. These are people with nowhere to go, no roofs over their heads and no food in front of them. Children are trapped in a nightmare with nowhere to run. What we have seen over the course of the past 24 to…

I will not apologise for standing up for people. I will not apologise for working hard on people's behalf. As regards the storm response, I believe that every agency put its shoulder to the wheel. Everybody got on the ground immediately to try to assist. I believe that we gave out the right warnings to try to get…

With respect, First Minister, neither you nor the deputy First Minister is Advice NI. It is not your job simply to be articulate and to make cases; it is your job to lead. When thousands of people heard you, the deputy First Minister and the then Economy Minister say that compensation should be paid, it created an…

It was right for us to make the good, strong and articulate case for why people needed to have compensation. Unfortunately, that is not how it has transpired. There was a lot of effort, as we said at the time, and a lot of credit needs to go to all our agencies that responded in live play at that time to support…

We are flying through them today. The Executive faced significant challenges in setting a Budget for 2024-25, and the financial position remains very difficult due to the interim fiscal framework. We therefore have insufficient budget, and conversations about that are ongoing. As a consequence of that, all Departments…

As I said, we recently received information on the specific options. We have to meet our permanent secretary to discuss those. No decisions have been made. We have to discuss them, because, as I have said in the Chamber, we need political agreement on the enormous economic potential of the site; you know that. I know…

I stand over my remarks, and I will repeat them today. There is no escaping the fact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and what it has meant, with the devastation that is left behind. We all witness that every day and want it to end. It is a flagrant breach of international law. The best way to end such things is with…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Ukrainian Refugees: Support Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Ukrainian Refugees: Support
The Minister will be aware that the reason why we have so many Ukrainian refugees is that Russia is attacking them. There are near-daily air attacks. Will the Minister reflect on her remark that she was incredulous that we would support the Ukrainians by giving them the opportunity to defend themselves? Does she not…

Yes. That is why it is important that the commissioner is in place. I am sure that the deputy First Minister would agree that, when we interviewed Siobhan, we saw that she had real passion for being an advocate for older people. She has a great depth of experience from her previous role, which will really enhance her…

I thank the First Minister for her response. Does she agree that the rights of older people are important? Many older people feel that decisions are made without their consent even though they have the capacity to make those decisions themselves.

As the Member is acutely aware from her personal experience, the online experience of so many women is horrific, to say the least.
