Speeches by Hanna.

“Do you think that Malachi’s case is a one off? Do you think it is the exception, or part of a culture?”

“You think that Malachi’s case appears to be the exception; you do not think that that is part of an identifiable culture.”

“Obviously, the definition and categorisation of SLAPPs is evolving. Are you familiar with the concept of super-injunctions? Do you think that they would fall under the same categorisation?”

“Thank you very much, Minister. I wanted to ask you about the voluntary sector. Everywhere, it plugs some of the gaps between government services, but, particularly with those years of stop-start government, it has really had to step up in Northern Ireland. There is a bit of a sense of abandonment by the political class…”

“As I said, we have sympathy with that, and I believe in devolution and not just cutting and pasting. My concern is that it is priorities in words, but not necessarily in allocation. I am not convinced that that stabilisation, which we all understand, is adequately happening. The draft budget says that it is being viewe…”

“I have just a quick one to finish. The BMA told us last week that the health sector needs better targeted funding and not necessarily more. Do you agree with that assessment?”

“Thank you very much, Minister and others. I know colleagues are going to come back on the issues around fiscal framework and negotiations with Treasury, but I just wanted to look at some of the items in the draft PFG and budget. Everybody has sympathy for the challenges in those but, for example, the programme for gove…”

“I did not want to name names, but I am attributing a direct quote.”

“I will come back in on how we break the cycle but, in the interests of trust in the Executive and how we buy people into the journey that we are going on, there is a real worry about a mismatch in words and actions. We all understand those financial pressures, and you have selected in the narrative and in the public-fa…”

“As I am sure the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) would attest, Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful estimates that we have 420 million plastic bottles and 90 million cans in Northern Ireland so we have a lot of work to do on reduction. The scheme is working really well in the Republic and I am an avid user of it wh…”

“Without sounding too sycophantic, thank you for your answers. I agree with that analysis. You should not have to be squabbling over the resource. Graham, I am going to focus on SEN and to roll up a few questions, if you do not mind. Are you concerned that the SEN strategy is released without specific figures and budget…”

“Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney described Sean Brown as a man of “goodwill and integrity” who represented something better than we have grown used to. We meet the day before his family are forced back to court, and in the week of the anniversary of the Kingsmill massacre; the sole survivor, brave Alan Black, is waiting fo…”
