Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I can assure you and the House that I will not take 10 minutes to sum up the debate. I place on record our sincere thanks to all the Members who spoke. One clear message is going out from the House today, and that is the urgent need for us to support people with disabilities…

Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank everybody who took part in this informative debate this evening. I value the opportunity for all in society to be the best that they can be in education, sport, employment and all other aspects of life in Northern Ireland. As my party colleagues mentioned, the Democratic…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. It is clear that today's debate is a very important one. It is important to each and all of us as legislators that we tackle the serious problems facing people with disabilities across Northern Ireland. We will support the motion, as my colleagues Matthew O'Toole and Sinéad McLaughlin…

I thank the Minister for giving way. Will the Minister confirm something that he said about the disability strategy that he will present in 2025? Will it contain the opportunity for people to support the UNCRPD being implemented in Northern Ireland law?

Thank you very much, Minister. It warms my heart to hear that, but, as you said at the start of your speech, this is an Executive disability strategy that you are bound to take forward. Will you have clear targets and arrangements for the other Departments in your strategy?

Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. Addressing the factors that can preclude deaf, disabled and neurodiverse people from participating fully in society as valued and respected citizens in their own right remains a key priority for me. Today's debate is opportune, as it allows us to discuss all the facets of the…

I voted with the DUP in the last debate on abortion, because I too believe that disabilities should not be used as a reason for abortion. Does the Member agree that a woman should not be asked to justify her request for an abortion by giving a reason? It is up to her, with the help of whoever her doctor is, to make…

I support the DUP amendment, which brings much-needed clarity to the important issues that are being discussed. It is all well and good to claim, as the Alliance motion does, that we acknowledge: "the difficulties and inequalities facing 25% of the population with a disability or long-term health condition". I join…

I welcome the opportunity to speak to how vital it is that we incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into law. As other Members have outlined, across society, people with disabilities still face far too many barriers to equal participation. Across far too many measures, full…

I was not going to speak in the debate, but I felt that some of Mr Kingston's comments really needed to be challenged. I am pleased that my party colleague Kellie Armstrong has addressed the majority of them. I very much agree with Diane Dodds in her assertion that she did not want the debate to descend into one about…

Before I get into the main detail of what I will speak about, it is important that I place on record clarification of something that was incorrectly stated in the House earlier in the debate. The Alliance Party position on start-of-life and end-of-life issues is that they are conscience matters. They are matters that…

I thank the Member for giving way. I really do not want to see this useful debate descending. Obviously, I am pro-life, like you. Does the Member recognise that, as recently as the past couple of months, the committee has reported on deficiencies in the protections for unborn children with disabilities? The…

Is the Member aware of the 2008 joint statement by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities? That stated: "Access to safe and legal abortion, as well as related services ... are essential aspects of women’s reproductive…

I am glad to support the amendment. I take issue with the Member who spoke previously: this is not a cynical intervention. If we are serious about protecting people with disabilities, we will be serious about protecting them from when they are preborn through to their final breath. A society will always be judged on…

I support the motion and commend the proposer for bringing it to the House to have this valuable debate. Incorporating the UNCRPD is a practical step that we can take to support those across society who live with a disability. That came up a lot during the bill of rights process in the last mandate, during which we…

I support the motion and the amendments, and I welcome the chance to debate this really important motion, albeit that, in a way, our motions are toothless. I agree with the leader of the Opposition in that regard: we need to move at pace and see these things materialise. As has been pointed out, 25% of our population…

I thank Members for bringing this important motion to the Assembly. Next Tuesday, 3 December, we will celebrate the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

I thank the Member for giving way. I appreciate the comments that he is making around the necessity for hate crime legislation in Northern Ireland, but, unfortunately, we have to live in the real world of the Assembly, which has failed to be in place for so many years — five out of the past eight, I believe, is the…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I welcome the opportunity to debate the motion. However, as with all the other motions that we are debating and that we have debated since we returned in February, I would rather be debating substantive legislation. Indeed, I would rather be debating legislation that, as Danny Donnelly…
