Let us serve a reality check. Michelle O'Neill is not meeting with Welsh and Scottish separatists today as the First Minister but as Mary Lou's deputy. The intention is clear: it is a gathering of people plotting the destruction of the United Kingdom. It is a tale as old as time when it comes to Sinn Féin, given its…

I am delighted to get the opportunity this afternoon to speak about what has been a truly historic event. It is a summit of celebration, which we all have cause to celebrate. This is what happens when you elect a nationalist First Minister and when you have nationalist First Ministers from across the devolved regions…

The first thing to say is that I am not sure whether the DUP has heard of a thing called the Streisand effect. If it has not, I encourage it to look at that. It is where you attempt to drive attention away from something but inadvertently create more attention on it. However, that may actually be the point of today's…
The event in Cardiff is a charade and a circus. It is not three devolved nations gathering for a conference on the break-up of the United Kingdom; it is three nationalist politicians signing each other's manifestos.

The debate tells us more about the priorities of some parties in the Chamber than it does about the priorities of the people whom we represent. The Executive face a huge in tray as we return from summer recess. Public services are limping on, five months into a financial year without a Budget. A raft of draft…
I suppose that, when the First Ministers of the North, Scotland and Wales organised that meeting, they did not anticipate the level of meltdown among unionists here, but there you go. I suppose that Donald Trump's utterances have added to that. I noticed that Jonathan Buckley got his photograph taken down at the golf.…
We face many challenges across Northern Ireland, not least in relation to our education sector, driving down health waiting lists, growing our economy and supporting a better, brighter future for every person in Northern Ireland, yet, today, the nationalist leaders of the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin are meeting in…
Ms Mulholland asked the Minister of Education, after referencing the wonderful campaign by activists that led to the U-turn in his deciding to allow young girls to wear trousers to school, why that decision was delayed, why he did not support it at the beginning, and why he had not given immediate effect to the change…
Mr Kingston asked the Minister of Education to provide an update on the extent to which existing transformed schools satisfy the statutory minimum numbers criterion.
Ms Hunter asked the Minister of Education, after stating that a father named Columba Mailey from Greysteel in her constituency, whose seven-year-old daughter Maisie was told, on the morning of her first day of school, that no taxis or buses were available and that therefore she did not have a way to get to school with…
Mr Clarke asked the Minister for the Economy to indicate approximately how much of the local growth fund, which the UK Government have given the Minister access to, was accessed last year and what she delivered, and approximately how much is available this year and how much of that has been delivered.
Ms McLaughlin asked the Minister for the Economy, given that the 'good jobs' Bill is going nowhere, workers are being denied new rights, businesses remain in uncertainty and relationships between the business community and trade unions are arguably worse now than ever before, whether she regrets how the process has…
