  1. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    I happily joined the AERC, really enthusiastic about progressing reform, but the Member's party and Sinn Féin then pushed it into the long grass at the AERC. I more than welcome the fact that there will be a meeting tomorrow, and I hope that his party will be on board.

  2. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    The DUP has reiterated the need for a period of restoration and prolonged political stability prior to the advancement or agreement of any proposals for reforming the political institutions. That is not to say that we are opposed to improving how devolution works from day to day; as has been the case since 2007, we…

  3. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    The Ulster Unionist Party has an unwavering commitment to ensuring that Northern Ireland has stable and credible government. That is not in question. At a time when we were emerging from a dark and challenging period in our history, the Belfast Agreement was a seismic shift for the people of this special part of the…

  4. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    The past 12 months has shown a willingness on the part of parties in the Executive to work collaboratively for the betterment of citizens the length and breadth of Northern Ireland. People want to see the House and those who sit on these Benches delivering for them on the issues that impact on their daily lives. One…

  5. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    I think that we can all agree that accountability in government is important. It is important in all aspects of life. As somebody who is now on what may be the fourth reset of her "New year, new me" plan, I can attest to the fact that what gets measured gets done. Although this speech is not sponsored by My Fitness…

  6. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    I appreciate the Member's giving way. Did the Justice Minister or the Agriculture Minister specifically request that the Alliance Party's reform proposals be included in the Programme for Government?

  7. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    The restoration of the institutions a year ago was welcome. Any sense of relief, however, was tempered by the scale of the damage inflicted by collapse on already fragile and struggling public services. Waiting lists went up; transformation programmes stalled; policy development was shelved; and challenges facing…

  8. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. What a difference a year makes — or not, if you are one of the people of Northern Ireland who is on a waiting list, if your child is waiting for a special educational needs (SEN) referral or if you are waiting to get a housing development built but cannot get a waste water…

  9. Debate contribution: Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government

    On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Given that the motion calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister, is it in order that no Minister is in the Chamber? What level of disrespect does it show to the Opposition in this institution that no Minister is prepared to come and answer when they are…

  10. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    On a point of order, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle I asked the Minister a specific question on the decision on Lisneal. It was on how much of the £710,000 was allocated to address safety issues on the pitch and, by extension, how much was for improvements, given that pupils in my constituency cannot even sit down together…

  11. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. During what you might call that question session, the Minister refused to answer a number of questions, including mine, about whether any former DUP elected representatives would make up — let me speak —

  12. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Several times, the Minister said that my party colleagues needed to apologise to the principal and the school for begrudging them the funding. I sat through the whole session; not once did I hear an Alliance MLA say anything like that. Will you look at the Hansard report and…

  13. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. During the Education Minister's answers to questions, he repeatedly referred to a £1 million limit for capital maintenance. That conflicts with the information on his Department's website. Would it be in order for the Minister to account for the inaccuracy on the website or…

  14. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. In reply to my question, the Minister said: "do not judge me by one's own sectarian standards." There is not a sectarian bone in my body, Minister. If you cannot take the question, you may be in the wrong job. We will be ready for you on Wednesday, believe me.

  15. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    Minister, in the discussion on your statement, Lisneal College has been mentioned many times. Members who asked you questions were not asking about the school; they were asking about the process. The word count of this discussion will show that you said "Lisneal" more than any other person in the Chamber. However,…

  16. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    Minister, your statement references the need for "improved collaboration across and beyond" the controlled sector and talks about "disparities in educational outcomes". We have heard a lot of talk about fairness and equality. Will the system be changed to work collaboratively across sectors in order to address waiting…

  17. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Support Arrangements

    Minister, I note that there is nothing in the statement about reducing the workload of those who are in the controlled and non-controlled sectors, and I urge you to proceed at pace with that. With the announcement of a new managing authority, presumably with new roles and positions, what guarantees can you give that…
