I highlight the need for reform of our system of post-primary transfer in Northern Ireland. Over the weekend just past, P7 pupils all across Northern Ireland received their Schools' Entrance Assessment Group (SEAG) test result. Some will have got the outcome that they hoped for, while others will not have, so I begin…
The manner in which innocent victims across Northern Ireland continue to be treated is nothing short of an absolute disgrace. The perpetrators continue to try to justify their actions, while their supporters continue to attempt to rewrite the past. I am very proud that my party has always stood shoulder to shoulder…
I want to address some of the issues that continue to flow from storm Éowyn. The key issue that I want to focus on this morning is that the term "unprecedented" has been used about the storm, and the storm itself certainly was unprecedented. However, the impact of power cuts and water disruption on rural areas is far…
Mr Speaker, on my way to the Chamber, I spent the last 20 minutes on a phone call with a constituent who raised a serious issue that has been around for many years. It is one that you are well aware of: what we are doing about TB in cattle. In November last year, the Minister brought out a review of the review, and we…
We debated a motion on childcare last week, during which I spoke about the need to be sensitive in the language that we use. Referring to full-time carers or parents as "not working" is disparaging. There are implications in those words. They suggest that those people are not making a contribution or do not have…
Normally, in a Member's statement, I would speak about constituency issues. This morning, however, I will speak about islands some 6,000 miles away from the United Kingdom. Last year, I was invited by Queen's University Belfast to speak at a debate that was hosted by Friends of the British Overseas Territories…

Mr Harvey asked the Minister of Finance, having noted that she is aware of the operation of four Cash Access UK banking hubs across Northern Ireland, including one in his constituency, whether she has engaged with Cash Access UK and the major banks that operate here on extending that benefit by having additional hubs…
Ms Sheerin asked the Minister of Finance to outline the work that has been progressed on Budget sustainability, to which the Minister referred earlier.
Mr Honeyford asked the Minister of Finance, further to her earlier answers regarding rate relief and business rates, if she has plans for a banded rating system within the 10-year strategic review of rates.
Mrs Erskine asked the Minister of Finance, although it feels quite crass to talk about money when people are still trying to get power restored and people have no water right now, what financial support she has requested from the UK Government for the Executive.
Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance whether she will provide a multi-year Budget to address long-term challenges and, if so, when, given that one of her officials gave evidence to the Finance Committee some weeks ago that her Department is doing a long-term scoping exercise on five-year budgeting plans, and given…
