Speeches by Robinson.

“I know that some very hard-working MLAs would not like that categorisation.”

“And we have one.”

“There is no consensus that reform should happen. When you say that, you just confirm your majoritarian—”

“May I associate myself with the remarks of the Prime Minister in relation to the tragic helicopter crash last week? Yesterday I shared my concern that community cohesion stood on a precipice. The north Belfast attack on Monday was medieval and sadistic, and it has sadly been viewed by millions in this country. As repre…”

“I am extremely grateful to Mr Speaker, to the Minister for his condemnation, and to the hon. Member for Belfast South and Mid Down (Claire Hanna) for securing another opportunity to raise these important issues. The condemnation has been strong, and the condemnation from the Minister has been appropriate. He is also ri…”

“I have listened carefully to what the Minister has to say. The NIO rarely ever exercises its powers when it comes to the Parades Commission—it can intervene, but it refuses to do so. The fundamental problem that arose on the weekend was that protesters could not adhere to the Parades Commission’s determination because …”

“I apologise for interrupting the hon. Lady, because she is making a good speech with important information. She mentioned Patten recommendation 131 not being prioritised. People sometimes forget, but we should praise the fact that 1,000 members of the Catholic community in Northern Ireland wished to apply for 400 vacan…”

“That is very kind of you, Sir. Roger. I had not planned on such a courtesy being extended. I place on record my appreciation to the hon. Member for North Down (Alex Easton) for securing this debate. Important debate though it is, it would have had much more importance had the Boundary Commission not taken Garnerville o…”

“Mr Speaker, may I first thank you for granting this urgent question? The attempted murder in Belfast last night was chilling. What has been seen by thousands already across the country cannot be unseen. It was medieval—the systematic mutilation and attempted slaughter of a citizen of Belfast on our streets. My prayers …”

“(Urgent Question): To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on reports of a serious violent attack in north Belfast involving a foreign national, and the implications for public safety, immigration enforcement and community cohesion.”

“Yes, and the material impact it would have on climate change.”

“You are interested agritech. One thing that has been focused on recently is the Bovaer-type supplement that goes into feed for cattle. I am a layman, but it seems to me that it is a flatulence suppressant. It seems to stop the methane production coming from the cows. How do you measure the benefit of that?”

“It is good to see you both. Thank you for having us at AMIC before your opening, when it was still a bit of a shell, but we could see the scale and impact of it. That was a good visit for us as a Committee. Mr Morrison, you have, fairly, talked about some of the barriers. This session is about economic growth. Within t…”

“The Secretary of State will know that the howls of outrage from the article 2 expansionists have been proven to be wrong, yet those same howls of outrage have been repeated ad nauseum by the Irish Government. They continue with their state case against this country and they continue to assert that there is an incompati…”

“The Secretary of State must know that victims in Northern Ireland would like him to stand up for them, to challenge the excess and the eccentricities of the Republic of Ireland Government, and to ensure, when they promise that they will provide information, that they do, and that their reluctance to do so has now been …”
