“I thank the Minister for her answer. Indeed, I thank her for the assistance that she, as Minister of Justice, gave my constituents Kathryn and Aaron McCollum following the tragic death of their much-loved husband and father. Her assistance was deeply appreciated.”
“I thank the Minister for her answer. I very much welcome the amendment to the Justice Bill on this subject, and I thank my colleagues across the Chamber for the good work that they have done on it. What cost is the PSNI carrying for the seizure, storage and disposal of those vehicles? Is that cost creating a barrier to enforcement?”
“It progresses 18 recommendations from the independent review of charity regulation, with a focus on a more risk-based approach that promotes trust and accountability without placing undue burdens on charities.”
“I welcome the opportunity to speak as a member of the Communities Committee at Second Stage of the Charities (Amendment) Bill. I thank the Minister and the Chair of the Committee for outlining the details of the Bill.”

“I thank the Minister for his answer. When was the last ECM scheme carried out in Ballyclare?”
“I also join the chorus and welcome the new Minister to his very challenging role in Social Development.”
“I thank the Minister for his answer and for the information that he has given the House today. He may not be able to answer my next question, but I ask him to look into it and find out why funding has been removed from the Michael Hughes academy BTEC diploma in sport development, coaching and fitness at the Newtownabbey campus of the Northern Regional College. This has ended four weeks after the commencement of the course.”
“I thank the Minister for his answer. Given the real concerns throughout the community about fuel laundering, sex crime, illicit drugs and alcohol, human trafficking and dissident activity, does he believe that this situation is acceptable? Are the people of Northern Ireland being left vulnerable?”
“Will the Minister provide a breakdown of how much he is investing in the training of nurses?”
“I thank the Minister for his statement. Given the importance of BMAP to effective planning decisions in the greater Belfast area, including Newtownabbey, and the controversial nature of some of its proposals, why is the Minister refusing to take it to the Executive and, in doing so, risking judicial review of his decision, which would cause further delay in the adoption of this important policy?”
“I welcome the Minister's statement to the House this afternoon. I also welcome the information sharing that is going on about the important subject of substance misuse. Could the Department have done more to raise awareness of substances such as Speckled Cherries?”
