  2. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    Thank you. The SDLP motion captures very well its predictable and often contradictory approach to the politics of opposition. Here we have it criticising the Executive, as is its wont, while at the same time arguing for both sides of the issue. That suggests that the SDLP is criticising just for the sake of it. It…

  4. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    The Fiscal Council set it out in black and white. Whether you call it a "discrepancy" or "unfairness" is slightly academic; there is definitely a difference, and we have acknowledged that. However, it is also true to say that the Executive had failed to set a Budget long before that report from the Fiscal Council was…

  6. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. Members might be pleased to know that I do not intend to take anywhere near the 10-minute speaking allocation. I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion, but I do so conscious that there is now a live process of negotiation ongoing between Executive parties and the UK Government.…

  8. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    I thank the Member for giving way. As my colleague said, we take the point about a better funding model from Westminster. Will the Member acknowledge two things, however? First, her party, with the DUP, has been in government for 20 years. There has been huge mismanagement and wastage of public funds across all…

  9. Debate contribution: Executive Budget

    Thanks very much. I welcome the opportunity to move the Sinn Féin amendment. It is important, as it gets to the core of the Budget challenges and the fundamental issue, which is that we have not received a fair and sustainable funding package. That is a fact recognised not only by the Executive parties but by the…

    I make this statement following contact from victims and victims' families after they watched the Westminster Northern Ireland Affairs Committee meeting on 9 September.

  13. Member's statement: Altnagelvin Area Hospital: Emergency Department

    Last week, I stood in the House and raised the disgraceful and shocking conditions faced by patients and staff at Altnagelvin Area Hospital emergency department. Since then, I have spoken to and heard from hundreds of people about the horrendous and horrific experiences that they have faced in our health service. What…

  14. Member's statement: Allergies: Protection for Children

    Twenty years ago, 17-year-old Jane McVeigh died after she ate a piece of food that was contaminated with nuts. I did not actually know Jane. I was in the year above her at a different school, but I had lots of friends who did know her. The impact that her death had on them and on the community was profound, and I…

  15. Member's statement: Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

    Again, I rise in the Chamber to speak up for life. On Friday past, in Westminster, our UK Parliament chose life. The assisted suicide Bill was defeated by 286 votes to 270. The DUP welcomes that result. I am grateful to the parliamentarians for voting in that way, as it was not the majority position previously.…

    Endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and adenomyosis are ongoing women's health issues in the North that are not being treated effectively. Women's health issues are being overlooked, and women feel unseen and unheard. I held an event last week on those…

  18. Member's statement: Policing Reform

    At the most recent meeting of the Policing Board, the Chief Constable stated that PSNI officers here — men and women who serve us across society — are more likely than those in any other part of the United Kingdom to allow themselves to be assaulted before using force, for fear that they will not be supported if they…

  20. Member's statement: Immigration: Sinn Féin Approach

    There is nothing like the approach of an election to make some populist parties pay attention. Surprise, surprise, bang on cue, up pops Mary Lou; she has woken up and smelled the coffee about Sinn Féin's disastrous, harmful approach to illegal and uncontrolled immigration. She said: "On ... immigration, we have ...…

  21. Member's statement: St Joseph's Primary School, Donagh: Kitchen

    I rise to express my deep concern about the decision of the Education Authority (EA) to permanently close the kitchen at St Joseph's Primary School in Donagh. The decision has caused significant anxiety amongst parents, staff and the wider community, who rightly value the role that the kitchen plays in the life of…

    Before I get into my contribution, I have to respond to some of the remarks that have been made here today. The Member for Mid Ulster Ms Sheerin said that the people of Northern Ireland want to see progress and move forward, yet she is the very Member who went to celebrate and speak at a commemoration of Thomas…

  23. Debate contribution: Summit on the Break-up of the United Kingdom

    What is happening in Cardiff is significant. Right now, the First Minister of the North, Michelle O'Neill, is sitting down with the leaders of Scotland and Wales with one democratic message: our future is ours to decide. Think about how far the North has come. We now have an Irish republican First Minister. Our First…

  24. Debate contribution: Summit on the Break-up of the United Kingdom

    Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. The myth that was sold for centuries was that the Union would be better for people and improve their lives, but, when you look at crumbling public services in Cardiff, Glasgow and Belfast, you see that nothing could be further from the truth. That is why today's event — the…

    It should come as no surprise to anyone that Michelle O'Neill joins her fellow nationalists today to call for the break-up of our United Kingdom. She cannot come before the Executive Office Committee, but she can scurry away to Cardiff with her fellow nationalists. That shows you the contempt that she has for this…
