  1. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. First, I will make remarks on behalf of the Committee, given the change with Connie and Stewart, and I am pleased to do so. I will take some of my time to speak as a Committee member and then, separately, I will speak as one of the riff-raff, anti-fascist protesters who were out on the…

  2. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I thank the Minister for giving way. To clarify, when the Committee held the evidence session with stakeholders, it was them, especially those who had businesses in south Belfast, who raised concerns and expressed dismay about the police having stood by. The videos are in the public domain: you will know that, and we…

  3. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I join the deputy First Minister in paying tribute to the work of community organisations. Will she join me in paying tribute to the work of the Police Service of Northern Ireland? There have been disgraceful attempts in the Chamber to say that the Police Service of Northern Ireland stood idly by and allowed…

  4. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I appreciate the opportunity to speak once again about the criminal damage and racist violence that took place in our community over the summer months. I assure you that addressing the needs of all in our community is a particularly important matter to us, and that must include everyone, no matter what the colour of…

  5. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I support the motion, but I feel that it is a bit too little too late. It is also worth saying that the Executive's disapproval of racist violence did not force the far right and loyalist forces off the streets this summer. They were forced off the streets this summer by organised counter-mobilisations of tens of…

  6. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I welcome the opportunity to, once again, condemn the racist attacks that we saw during the summer months. I will support the motion. However, I trust that it will not be a matter of passing another motion that leaves the Assembly with a warm feeling. As legislators, we should aim not just to say nice things but to…

  7. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I welcome the fact that we are debating the subject today. I raised it yesterday with the deputy First Minister. I, and, I am sure, others in the Chamber, will keep raising the question of what, practically and specifically, we are doing to tackle the growing scourge of not just race hate but racially aggravated…

  8. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I thank the Committee for the Executive Office and its Chair for their work on the review and for tabling the motion. As they will know, my party does not have a representative on the Committee, but I am grateful for the work that they have done. I have been watching intently along the way. I echo many of the comments…

  9. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    If we gathered in the House to talk about incidents of sexual assault or street violence and anyone mentioned "legitimate concerns", there would be outrage. We need to stop doing that. We have to stop doing that when it comes to racist attacks. There were no legitimate concerns when it came to the racism that we…

  10. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    As has been said, the DUP supports the motion, and I believe that we can all unite on this topic. Racism is wrong, and it is incumbent on us all to call it out when it raises its ugly head and to work collectively to eradicate it from society. Contributors to the debate have reminded us of the scenes that played out…

  11. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I thank the Committee for the Executive Office for tabling this important motion. Over the past few months, I, along with others in the Chamber, have attended a number of anti-racism rallies in Belfast, which took place off the back of a summer of racist attacks on families, homes, places of worship, and, indeed,…

  12. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I have no doubt that everyone in the Chamber will agree that the events of the summer were profoundly disturbing and deeply troubling for communities and, in particular, for those in our communities who are from ethnic minority backgrounds. This debate is about action and not warm words. My colleague Matthew O'Toole…

  13. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    The motion has been brought to the Assembly by the Committee for the Executive Office, through its Chair. I rise, as a DUP member of the Committee, along with my colleague Harry Harvey, in support of the motion. The racially motivated attacks witnessed over the summer were shocking, unacceptable and unjustifiable. We…

  14. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    I am not happy about the reasons for the motion but I am glad to speak in a very important debate. As I have said before in the Chamber, racism is another issue that we will never deal with and eradicate unless we talk about it and identify its root causes. I commend the proposer of the motion for bringing it to the…

  15. Debate contribution: Racist Incidents

    At the beginning of August, the Assembly was recalled to condemn the incidents of racism that had occurred over the summer. The motion is not about repeating those words of condemnation, as much as that may be warranted, but about seeking to understand what happened and showing urgency to do something about it. From…

  16. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Institutional and Plenary Format

    Thank you, Minister, for your statement. Will you provide specific details on the discussions in and around business and trade, particularly those on the promotion of balanced regional growth? Was the north-west cross-border city region featured in that balanced growth discussion?

  17. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Institutional and Plenary Format

    We see that there were two further appointments to Foras na Gaeilge, but many vacancies remain. Will the First Minister outline the precise timescale for filling all the vacancies on the boards of North/South bodies?

  18. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Institutional and Plenary Format

    I thank the First Minister and the deputy First Minister for their commitment to the North/South ministerial process. On Horizon Europe research and the need to get more R&D funding for Northern Ireland and the island as a whole, were there any discussions about greater cooperation among the universities in Dublin,…

  19. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Institutional and Plenary Format

    First Minister, following on from the earlier question from the Chairperson of the Executive Office Committee, has there been any discussion about addressing the needs of those who have been missed by the scope of the historical institutional abuse inquiry, including those who suffered at the hands of clerics who…

  20. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Institutional and Plenary Format

    Minister, in your statement, you referred to the commitment to the PEACE PLUS programme, which, we know, has brought an awful lot of investment, particularly to our constituency. Will you give an update on that?

  21. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Institutional and Plenary Format

    First Minister, point nine of the chapter on disaster risk reduction and emergency planning mentions a series of conferences. Have any of those conferences taken place? If they have, how do they look?
