  1. Debate contribution: Peacemakers Museum, Derry

    I am not aware whether we were invited. I look at every invitation favourably. As the Member will know, I spend my days, evenings and weekends out and about, engaging with excellent projects. I do not know whether we were invited. I do not remember declining an invitation to attend. As I said previously, we need to be…

  2. Debate contribution: Peacemakers Museum, Derry

    I thank the First Minister for her answer. She previously told the Assembly that the museum had nothing to do with TEO despite TEO having spent the money to build it. I did not notice any representative from TEO in the photographs of the official opening. Were Ministers invited, and why could none out of four attend?

  3. Debate contribution: North-west Development Fund

    Yes. I talked earlier about growing our economy and its benefits and selling points. The fact that we are focused very much on regional balance and ensuring that we have a fair economy is a strong point to make. I welcome the fact that the Economy Minister has put forward proposals to ensure that there is regional…

  4. Debate contribution: North-west Development Fund

    We are working our way through that. It comes to an end in the early part of next year. We are keen to get to the juncture where we work with the Irish Government, because, obviously, they are a major funder. We want to build on the good progress that has been made to this point. Nobody can dispute that the north-west…

  5. Debate contribution: Private Schools: VAT

    That is a policy responsibility for the Department of Education, so the Education Minister will be best placed to answer that question. He has not, I believe, asked for support on it, but I would need to double-check to be sure. Obviously, the policy responsibility falls to the Education Minister.

  6. Debate contribution: First Minister and Deputy First Minister

    We have already demonstrated that that is what we are absolutely committed to doing, when you look at what we have been able to do. Our draft Programme for Government is out for consultation. We have had the first-year legislative programme. We have made advances in childcare. We have made advances across a raft of…

  7. Debate contribution: First Minister and Deputy First Minister

    I thank the First Minister for her answer. What assurances can she give us, as Members, and the public that the Executive Office will provide a strong, strategic agenda between now and the end of the mandate?

  8. Debate contribution: First Minister and Deputy First Minister

    I assure the Member that there will be plenty of disagreements between me and the deputy First Minister: that is the cut and thrust of politics. There may be a different policy emphasis at different times, but we are working our way through those issues. There are times when we have differences in approach, but, given…

  9. Debate contribution: Niall Ó Donnghaile

    Again, we are on the public record as having said that the party received legal advice that naming the individual would not have been appropriate, given that no criminal charges were brought against him. However, we also stated clearly that he was dealing with a severe mental health crisis and was deemed to be…

  10. Debate contribution: Niall Ó Donnghaile

    First Minister, I will try that again, because transparency is important. I ask you again: why did you, as deputy leader of Sinn Féin and First Minister designate, allow Niall Ó Donnghaile to remain as one of the most senior members of Sinn Féin and the leader of your party in the Seanad for three months — three…

  11. Debate contribution: Niall Ó Donnghaile

    There is a danger of just repeating and repeating. We have answered this question very clearly. All child protection protocols were followed. All child protection protocols were followed, with the immediate referral to the PSNI and social services. The protection of the young person was our primary concern, as it…

  12. Debate contribution: Agriculture: Basic Payment Scheme

    Since the Executive were restored, I and other Ministers have used every opportunity to urge the British Government to fairly fund the Executive so that we can, in turn, support our local economy and our public services. We know that, prior to the election, we were dealing with 14 years of cuts and chaos under the…

  13. Debate contribution: Agriculture: Basic Payment Scheme

    I thank the Minister for her response; she has partially answered my second question. Will the Minister and the Executive recommit to pressing the British Government for fair funding for the Executive and for guaranteed long-term funding for our farming community?

  14. Debate contribution: Agriculture: Basic Payment Scheme

    Yes. Absolutely. I thank the Member for his question and for being vocal on the issue, as are other Members of the House. Farmers were told that the funding would be replaced pound for pound, and they are still not sure where they stand. The cut to farm support, particularly for small family farms, will have a…

  15. Debate contribution: Sinn Féin: Safeguarding, Whistle-blowing and Child Protection

    There are mechanisms in place — this is one of them — for Members to ask me questions. I am being as open and transparent as I can be, and we have answered the questions that have been posed by Members here and in the Assembly Committee and, likewise, in the Dáil. I take the opportunity to make a plea to all political…

  16. Debate contribution: Sinn Féin: Safeguarding, Whistle-blowing and Child Protection

    I thank the First Minister for her answer. The House recognises that your credibility as the northern leader of Sinn Féin overlaps with your credibility as First Minister for all. To help restore trust in your ability to hold the highest office in the Assembly and in keeping with the Nolan principles, will you consent…

  17. Debate contribution: Sinn Féin: Safeguarding, Whistle-blowing and Child Protection

    As I said when I answered questions in the House, I want to be open and transparent and answer the questions that are posed to me, and I have endeavoured to do so. It is important that I repeat my assurances that safeguarding is of the utmost importance to me, and I have said that in the Chamber over the last number…
