  4. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    I have two interests to declare. First, I sit on the euphemistically named Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee. Most Members will be aware of my view of that Committee. Secondly, for the avoidance of doubt, I voted Remain. I declare that in case people think all unionists were part of a monolithic block.…

  5. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    Further to that point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I appreciate your referring of the matter to the Speaker's Office, because I do not see anything in Standing Orders that suggests that an intervention made during any moment of a Member's three minutes will not be accepted.

  6. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    Obviously, this is the first time that we have operated using the new guidance for three-minute speeches. If a Member has taken an intervention, should the Principal Deputy Speaker not decide that they will receive an extra minute? My intervention was made at two minutes and 56 seconds.

  11. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    Not one unionist in this place supported the protocol, which was cheered on by those who sought to overturn a democratic referendum. Unionists have long known that some embrace the notion of democratic consent only when it suits them. It is clear to unionists that those in this place who speak loudest of the Belfast…

  12. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. In 2016, the vast majority of people in the North voted to remain in the EU. They did so in the knowledge that, politically and economically, it was in our best interests. For reasons that are for others to explain, both prior to the Brexit referendum and after,…

  13. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    I thank the Member for giving way. He talks about the respect of all communities. The Belfast Agreement put at its heart cross-community voting in this place. Does the Member not have any concern or, indeed, remorse about the fact that there will be no cross-community vote on the democratic scrutiny motion in the…

  14. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I propose the Alliance amendment, which would support and enhance the motion by expanding on two fundamental issues: the need for a comprehensive UK-EU veterinary and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement and an electronic travel authorisation exemption for tourists…

  18. Debate contribution: EU Relationship

    I beg to move Before the end of this year, the Assembly will have an opportunity to vote on the protocol, now often referred to as the "Windsor framework". Unlike a lot of the votes that we have in this place, this one will mean something. It is a vote that will not simply pass into the ether; it will have specific…

  22. Debate contribution: Ministerial Code of Conduct: Breaches

    Go raibh míle maith agat, a Phríomh-LeasCheann Comhairle. That really takes us to the heart of the matter, does it not? This is supposed to be a Government by the people, for the people and for all the people, and, quite clearly, that is not spilling out of the letter that you referred to. My colleague pointed out…

  25. Debate contribution: Ministerial Code of Conduct: Breaches

    As noteworthy as it is, the motion does not have one word in it explaining why the boycott started and why, quite frankly, it should be continuing. That is not surprising given its source. As a party that aspires to a united Ireland, the SDLP is hardly going to have a problem with the trashing of our east-west…
