I thank the Member for giving away. Does she accept the assurances from the Chair of the AERC that it will deal with the issue, or, like me, does she believe that Mr Buckley does not know his AERC from his elbow?

Does the Member agree that it may have been helpful if the Opposition had published some proposals on reform prior to, say, May 2022?

I welcome the large number of contributions that I heard on reform. In my own time, chatting to constituents and speaking to young people, I have heard about their want for us on the hill to instil a sense of hope that the institutions can stand and work and that the parties in them can work together without…

I will not stand in anyone's way of them discussing the necessary reforms, as it will allow parties the opportunity to catch up on what Alliance has been talking about for, to be honest, a couple of decades. Although I will not block the motion, I have to ask why we keep on needing to have Committees. I sat on the…

If the Member looks at the motion, he will see that it says that the Committee will "submit a report" and "consider legislation". I think that it would be perverse for the Committee not to submit legislative proposals. I would not presuppose, however, that there would be a perfect majority or complete consensus on…

As this is the first time that I have spoken in the Chamber outside Question Time today, I take the opportunity to wish Mr O'Toole well in his new role and wish the SDLP well as the official Opposition. It would be churlish and perverse of me, as the political leader who brought in the first post-1998 Opposition, not…

Does the Member agree that we in the party have concerns that another Ad Hoc Committee similar to the Ad Hoc Committee on a Bill of Rights would cause a lot of work and a lot of people to become invested in it, only for the wider public to be disappointed?

We must be clear that these institutions are as stable today as they were the day before they last collapsed. The public are weary, and they want to be assured that we in the House are taking steps to ensure that the last collapse was the last collapse. I am of the Good Friday Agreement generation. That agreement…

The Opposition will be glad to hear that I intend to be brief. There is no point in going over significant ground that was covered in the earlier Opposition debate. The party's position on the issues that have faced the Assembly over the past 25-odd years has been made clear. At the heart of it — all Members who spoke…

When I saw the motion, I was somewhat bewildered because, as everyone knows, we have the Assembly and Executive Review Committee. Its role is to review matters relating to the functioning of the Assembly and the Executive. It exists for the very purpose of reforming the institutions. Therefore, it makes no sense to…

I beg to move This is the final motion for debate on our Opposition day. I am sure that some Members are relieved that that is the case. I think that we have put down some markers. We may make some progress. Hopefully we will make some progress with this, the final motion of the day. All three Opposition motions are…

I thank the Member for giving way. Surely he recognises that reform of these institutions requires legislation at Westminster and that it is therefore imperative that there be engagement among the UK Government, the Irish Government and all parties. Although I share his scepticism about the current Secretary of State,…

I thank the Member for giving way. Lots of Members, particularly Sinn Féin Members, were right to call out Tory austerity and its impact on public-sector workers here. Does the Member agree with me, however, that there is a contradiction between calling out Tory austerity and its impact on public-sector workers and…

I welcome the opportunity to wind on the debate. It is an important one for many people. It shows the important role of an Opposition. It is not about just shouting from the sidelines or being opposed to the Executive for the sake of being opposed; this has allowed us to highlight the issues that are critical to…

I thank those who have taken part in today's debate on public-sector pay. I will respond to some Members' comments in the course of my remarks and address others at the end. Our public-sector workers are at the heart of service delivery. The Executive are united on the need to resolve public-sector pay. One of the…

I must say that this motion is absolutely typical of the Assembly. Across the Chamber, we have parties of all shades that have cut public-sector pay whilst in government yet have no qualms talking about the burdens faced by public-sector workers, real burdens though they are. Public-sector workers, who have had their…

We need to do better than playing catch-up with our overburdened and underpaid public-sector workers' pay packets. We need decisive action and ambition from the Executive to ensure that our public-sector workers feel valued and are fairly rewarded. If we continue to delay fair pay for our teachers, midwives, nurses,…

I welcome the opportunity to speak on a very important matter that has been a priority for the Alliance Party for a long time: the pay of our public-sector workers. At the outset, I declare an interest, in that I have been a public-sector worker for all my working life. Prior to coming to the Assembly nearly 12 years…

Our public-sector workers are the very backbone of this place. Our society could not and would not function without them. They are the very tapestry of our society. Our nurses, bus drivers, junior doctors, teachers and more are the threads that hold us together. Yet, in the face of a relentless cost-of-living crisis,…

I echo the comments that have been made. I start by acknowledging the tremendous dedication and hard work that has been exhibited by public-sector workers, especially during the past seven years, when, for five of those, the Assembly did not sit. I come to the debate as the Alliance Party's spokesperson on the economy…

I appreciate my colleague on the Finance Committee giving way. He says that he thinks that we are not mature enough to have more fiscal powers; I disagree. Is one reason for him thinking that we are not mature enough because certain parties in the Assembly keep collapsing the institutions and completely denying basic…
