  1. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    Thank you, Mr Speaker, for the opportunity to make a very brief point of order. I want to put on the record again, on behalf of all the people of Northern Ireland, my deep frustration and disappointment that we are not forming a Government today. Mr Speaker, I ask for your advice on two matters. First, in the absence…

  2. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    Like others, Mr Speaker, I join in wishing you well in your retirement, whenever that may happen. You have been a fair Speaker, particularly in relation to smaller parties and independents, and, as someone who sits in this back corner, I appreciate the voice that you have given us. I certainly hope that your successor…

  3. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. Comhghairdeas on your service and ádh mór ort in the next phase. My father, despairing over the deadlock in this place, reminded me of an old Irish tradition: meitheal. The meitheal was the high point of the year. In days gone by, families in my townland and in townlands across…

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. An allegation has just been made that lockdown rules were breached by a trip that we took to Dublin to meet the Irish Government. Lockdown rules were not breached or I would not have travelled. I ask the Member to reflect and withdraw those remarks.

  5. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    It should come as no surprise to anybody in the Chamber or, indeed, to anybody in Northern Ireland, that the DUP is serious about dealing with the Northern Ireland protocol. Over the past two years, time and time again — in the Chamber and in meetings with the UK Government, the Irish Government and the European Union…

  6. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    Mr Speaker, I take the opportunity to thank you and wish you well for the future. It looks, however, from what we are hearing in the Chamber today, as though you will not be going anywhere. It is fair to say that the people at home who are watching today, and who have been watching since we returned to the Assembly at…

  7. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    It is somewhat cynical of parties that, for years, have been complaining that you cannot have majority rule to now call for majority rule. That, essentially, in the speech that we have just heard, is what Mr Muir was seeking in the House. He was railing against the Good Friday Agreement — the very agreement that they…

  8. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    Since the Member is articulating those issues, maybe he will tell us what the Alliance Party's current view is on the fundamental building block that it holds to in respect of consent. Is consent not a fundamental building block of these institutions, whether one likes it or not, and, therefore, is it not wholly…

  9. Debate contribution: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers

    I will start by paying tribute to you in your term of office as Speaker. When you were elected as Speaker back in January 2020, I knew that you were a man of good workmanship as you helped to decorate my grandparents' home and did a very good job, and they were delighted with it. You did not fail to impress in your…
