I welcome the investment by the Executive Office not only in Ebrington but in areas right across the Foyle constituency. I thank the deputy First Minister for her role in delivering those projects. Will she provide an update on those investments by the Executive Office in my constituency?

Absolutely. From the outset and over the past year, we have made clear how important it is that the entirety of Northern Ireland is a place that can thrive. That does not mean just the greater Belfast area. We will ensure that it means every part of Northern Ireland, from Fermanagh to the north-west and throughout.…

I thank the Member for his question. We have received correspondence from a number of Members, including his colleagues and mine, on the issue. When this was put in place, we did not have the same infrastructure. I am really pleased that £37 million has been invested in the Ebrington site. Anybody who goes up there…

I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. At a time when the overdue development of Ebrington is finally making tangible progress and we have more people using the site as a place of employment and leisure, there are concerns in my constituency that the decision will reduce safety for users. Those concerns…

Guard security and CCTV were put in place at Ebrington when the site was largely vacant and under development. Today, Ebrington is a thriving hub of activity, much like the city centre, with a wide range of daytime and night-time businesses. In the coming months, we will see the arrival of a number of different…

I thank the Member for his question. It is an important one. When we look back over the decades of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, we see that there was violence towards and the targeting and harassment of women. We also have to remember the young people and children who were indiscriminately targeted by bombings…

Deputy First Minister, 20 years ago, on Thursday past, Robert McCartney was brutally stabbed to death by the IRA. In the aftermath of his murder, his sisters were subjected to a campaign of intimidation by the republican movement that you partner with in government today. Will the ending violence against women and…

I thank the Member for her question. I have not heard that proposal before. We will certainly look at it. I will perhaps liaise with the Member about the detail of her proposal.

Minister, as you know, changing attitudes is a large part of your ending violence against women and girls strategy. Will the Executive Office consider working with others in the Assembly on a code of practice for legislators as to what constitutes misogyny?

I thank the Member for that kind acknowledgement of the work that we have been carrying out. As I indicated in the earlier answer, a significant amount of work has been done. I pay tribute to the co-production team, which sits within the Executive Office but, of course, works across a number of Departments, for the…

Today marks a year since the institutions were restored. It was excellent to see that, at the outset, ending violence against women and girls was recognised as a key priority. Will the deputy First Minister outline what work has been undertaken in the past year to end violence against women and girls in Northern…

I thank the Member for her supplementary question. From the outset, when, this time last year, Michelle and I took up these positions, we made it clear that the issue was a key priority for us. The level of violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland is appalling, and we need to tackle it and, indeed,…

Certainly, if they have been, it has not been drawn to my attention. As the Member knows, the Department has been looking at all of the issues that gave rise to and impacted on the race disorder and violence of last summer. We are absolutely determined that we do not see a repeat of that. That means working in…

Nearly six months ago, we gathered here to talk about the race riots in Belfast.

I thank the Member for her question. Absolutely: over the last 20-odd years that I have worked in politics, I have seen a big change when it comes to this type of policy development and, indeed, even project and initiative development. It is now much more towards that collaborative design and co-production approach,…

I begin by offering my apologies. I understand that I was called for a question last week. It was my understanding that the question had been withdrawn, so apologies. I am not sure where the confusion was, but I was not here due to a family emergency. I want to put on the record the really valuable contribution that…

I thank the Member for her supplementary question. Let us be very clear: there is absolutely no place for paramilitarism in 2025; indeed, in my view, there was never any place for paramilitarism or paramilitary activity. Of course, the PSNI takes the lead on the criminal aspects of that and must do everything in its…

Thank you, deputy First Minister, for your answer. Given that we are 27 years past the agreement, when is it envisioned that we will complete the journey of transition so that some of those funds can be diverted into things such as neighbourhood health projects or tackling rural equality and rural isolation? In my…

I thank the Member for her question. Communities in Transition is part of the Executive programme on paramilitarism and organised crime, and, since 2019, it has delivered over £26 million of support across eight areas where there has been a significant history of activity and coercive control. The CIT areas were…

I could not agree more with some aspects of the motion. It is particularly welcome that it notes the lack of trust and accountability in our politics. Last week, the House debated a motion that lambasted the report on the Michael McMonagle scandal. Without a vote, it was passed. We all agreed that the conclusions…

I thank the Member for giving way. We want to see a situation in which there is stability here and a party cannot block. We do not want to exclude anybody — we want the Assembly to work — but if you are not prepared to work, we would like to get on with the job.
