Every imported question, contribution and motion, with its classification. Unflagged, uncertain and not-yet-analysed records are all included so the analysis can be checked independently.
As we enter the period of national remembrance, across Northern Ireland communities will come together and fall silent as they remember those who came before us and made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. In my constituency of North Belfast, we are extremely proud of those who made the…
I will speak on significant issues to do with animal welfare. Too many animals are being abused. Too many people are not being held accountable for their crimes. We lack a clear and publicly shared register of offenders' names. Too many offenders are easily able to acquire animals again and again and commit further…
Over the weekend, in the Foyle constituency, we were shocked and angered that, once again, two young females were targeted in separate attacks. The community has expressed disgust and outrage at those who carried out those abhorrent attacks. Let us be clear: the events that unfolded were nothing other than terrifying,…
I support and encourage the large number of local parents who have registered interest in their children attending Scoil na Seolta in East Belfast. The school will offer integrated education in East Belfast for the first time, bringing together communities and healing many of the divisions that we still see today. It…
I acknowledge the incredible achievements and dedication of Glenn Irwin as he announces his retirement from a remarkable career in motorcycle racing. Glenn's impact on the sport and on our community has been truly inspiring. His unwavering commitment to his craft, dedication in pursuit of the superbike championship…
Like other Members, I want to touch on the recent Budget announcement and its impact on farming. The recent announcement of a £1 million inheritance tax threshold by the British Government will pose significant challenges for family farms, which are essential for our food security. As Members will be aware, many…
I welcome the reinstatement of the Causeway Coast and Glens growth deal, following last week's announcement by Chancellor Rachel Reeves that the pause in funding for growth deals has now been lifted.

It is with great pride that I rise today to congratulate my home GAA club, Erne Gaels, Belleek, on its historic victory over Enniskillen Gaels in the Fermanagh senior championship at the weekend. This is the first time that the New York Cup has been in Belleek since 1981. We do not just celebrate a trophy; we…
I rise with a deep sense of urgency to address an issue that impacts on women, families and entire communities profoundly: the critical need to end violence against women and girls. In just the past week, four reported sexual assaults against women have been reported in Derry — a grim reminder that far too many women…
It is critical that we speak up, united, and challenge the Labour Government's alarming disregard for the future viability of family farms in Northern Ireland and across the United Kingdom. Farming, as we know, is already a relentless, hard-work, low-profit industry. Farmers push through 365 days a year in every…
I rise to speak about the 10th anniversary of the opening of Daisy Lodge outside Newcastle in my constituency. Daisy Lodge looks over the Shimna Valley and Tollymore Forest, and towards the slopes of Slieve Commedagh and Slieve Donard: a most peaceful and tranquil view, one of quite a few with which we are blessed in…
The headline of the recent Budget announcement from the Chancellor of the Exchequer was the raising of £40 billion in additional taxation through taxes that the Labour Party repeatedly claimed it would not be raising throughout the general election campaign. The impact of that on farmers is what I want to speak about.…
I would like to raise the ongoing campaign of vandalism on dual language signage in south Tyrone. That vandalism has taken place over a number of years across the area. Dual language signs have been attacked in Fivemiletown, Benburb, Eglish, Caledon, the Brantry, Castlecaulfield and Killeeshil. In recent weeks, there…

Mrs Erskine asked the Minister for Communities, whose Department has more civil servants than any other Department, for his view on the inclusive language guide for the Northern Ireland Civil Service that was produced by the Department of Finance, which advises against using phrases such as "ladies and gentlemen",…
Ms Sugden asked the Minister for Communities, given that he has talked about enabling the Housing Executive to borrow against its rents, which would raise income for building new houses, what is the Executive's role in enabling it to do that?
Mr McHugh asked the Minister for Communities, given the number of people and families living in temporary accommodation, to outline the criteria and checks and balances used to assess the appropriateness of the non-standard accommodation that is currently being used.
Mr O'Toole asked the Minister for Communities, given that Casement Park will not host the European football championship in 2028, that the UK Government have given a significant uplift in funding to the Executive and that the GAA is willing to accept a smaller, less ambitious stadium, what he will do to ensure that…
