:00:23. > :00:27.Hello, and welcome to Stormont Today.

:00:28. > :00:31.Coming up on the programme: More trouble at the Executive table

:00:31. > :00:34.as the DUP and Sinn Fein clash openly. Our Political Correspondent

:00:34. > :00:36.Martina Purdy is here with her analysis. MLAs elect a new Deputy

:00:36. > :00:40.Speaker, the Sinn Fein veteran Mitchel McLaughlin, but not without

:00:40. > :00:43.crossing swords. And Members agree on doing more to combat suicide

:00:43. > :00:53.rates as one Alliance MLA recounts his own experience of losing a

:00:53. > :00:56.

:00:56. > :01:02.loved one. My son in-law had fallen victim to this horrible thing plus.

:01:03. > :01:07.He was a big, strong family man with everything to live for and now

:01:07. > :01:14.our family, and the whole community, are faced with something we simply

:01:14. > :01:16.There was plenty happening inside the chamber today and we'll be

:01:16. > :01:19.looking at that throughout the programme. However the big

:01:19. > :01:22.political story of the day is a developing war of words between the

:01:22. > :01:26.two main parties in the Executive, the DUP and Sinn Fein. Our

:01:26. > :01:29.Political Correspondent,Martina Purdy is with me.

:01:29. > :01:34.Martina, you've been following these tensions between the two main

:01:34. > :01:41.parties through the day, take us through what's been happening.

:01:42. > :01:46.Sinn Fein were to and Andy Mayer at the weekend and the DUP were

:01:46. > :01:50.keeping an eye on proceedings. Martin McGuinness questioned the

:01:50. > :01:54.commitment of Unionists to making the executive works saying in

:01:54. > :01:58.fighting was as destabilising as the dissident threat. Gerry Kelly

:01:58. > :02:03.said he did not have confidence in the chief constable and there was

:02:03. > :02:10.call for the release of Marion Price from prison. This morning the

:02:10. > :02:15.DUP picked up the paper to find a straw poll of 50 Sinn Fein

:02:15. > :02:19.delegates which said that violence was justified while Britain ruled

:02:19. > :02:25.in Northern Ireland. The DUP asked about Gerry Kelly withdraw his

:02:25. > :02:30.remarks and both -- are two men appeared at a news conference to

:02:30. > :02:33.say Sinn Fein were carrying out mixed signals. We will hold them

:02:33. > :02:41.accountable because that is our job and that is why we went into

:02:41. > :02:44.government. If they are recoiling relation to their working

:02:44. > :02:49.relationship with us. They need to wake up and smell the coffee and

:02:49. > :02:52.start making decisions as ever frustrating the government. Deeming

:02:52. > :02:56.the Social Welfare Reform Bill? That is not the only thing they are

:02:56. > :03:02.messing about with. What else are they waiting about with? We will

:03:02. > :03:06.wait and see. That was the response but what has Sinn Fein been saying?

:03:06. > :03:11.John O'Dowd came down to speak to us and he was quite indignant that

:03:11. > :03:19.the DUP eight -- DUP should question Sinn Fein's commitment to

:03:19. > :03:22.police and police. He said the DUP had in some cases failed to face

:03:22. > :03:26.down loyalist violence over flags etc and he said that Sinn Fein was

:03:26. > :03:30.not messing around with issues and it was trying to get the right

:03:30. > :03:33.decisions on issues like social welfare reform. He questioned the

:03:34. > :03:37.Belfast Telegraph poll and said that was 50 delegates out of 2000

:03:37. > :03:42.and he said the results were dubious and open to question. He

:03:42. > :03:46.also said that Sinn Fein was not in the executive because DUP had

:03:46. > :03:54.ordained it was allowed to be in the executive, he said it was in

:03:54. > :03:58.there because it had been voted in by the people. And this spilled

:03:58. > :04:01.over into today's election of a new Deputy Speaker? In order for

:04:01. > :04:06.Mitchel McLaughlin to take that pose the had to be a cross-

:04:06. > :04:10.community vote. The first minister said he wanted clarification or

:04:10. > :04:12.from -- clarification from Mitchel McLaughlin that he was committed

:04:12. > :04:15.toppled in the role of law. Thank you very much.

:04:15. > :04:18.Well, as Martina mentioned there, the deteriorating relations between

:04:18. > :04:21.the two main parties did indeed spill over into the election of the

:04:21. > :04:23.deputy speaker. Despite a perhaps unexpected rival candidate for the

:04:23. > :04:26.role, Sinn Fein's Mitchel McLaughlin was elected with the

:04:26. > :04:32.backing of the DUP, but not before the main unionist party demanded he

:04:32. > :04:38.reassert Sinn Fein's commitment to the peace process.

:04:38. > :04:43.Let us proceed to the election of the Deputy Speaker. Do you have any

:04:43. > :04:47.proposals for the office of Deputy Speaker, a rise in your place?

:04:47. > :04:57.propose Mitchel McLaughlin be elected as deputy speaker. Is there

:04:57. > :05:05.

:05:05. > :05:15.a second? I second that. Mitchel McLoughlin, do you accept this

:05:15. > :05:16.

:05:16. > :05:24.nomination? With some relief I do accept it! Are they are further

:05:24. > :05:34.proposals? Could I propose the name of Basil McCrea? Do we have a

:05:34. > :05:34.

:05:34. > :05:38.second? Thank you, Mr Speaker, it is a great pleasure for me and a

:05:38. > :05:44.great honour to propose my friend Mitchel McLaughlin as the Deputy

:05:44. > :05:49.Speaker. I would like to place on record our thanks to Francie Molloy

:05:49. > :05:57.who has left this assembly for another place, for the contribution

:05:57. > :06:01.that he made. I think the North West has a very proud record over

:06:01. > :06:05.supporting speakers and providing speakers for this assembly, not

:06:05. > :06:11.least your own contribution over the course of a number of years,

:06:11. > :06:15.which has been rightly applauded by society and by everybody in this

:06:15. > :06:21.house. Mitchel McLaughlin, I believe will continue in that vein.

:06:21. > :06:23.I think he is someone with vast experience of the workings of this

:06:23. > :06:29.house and he will make his own unique contribution towards

:06:29. > :06:37.supporting the work of the chair. think everyone knows that it is

:06:37. > :06:41.essential for the working operation of the institutions that there is

:06:41. > :06:45.appropriate cross-community balance in positions like this. This

:06:45. > :06:48.position was held by a Sinn Fein member and therefore I think it

:06:48. > :06:55.would be assumed that automatically there would be a Sinn Fein member

:06:55. > :07:05.to replace them. However, I think it would be irresponsible of us if

:07:05. > :07:05.

:07:05. > :07:10.we were not to provide the likely candidate the opportunity to

:07:10. > :07:16.indicate his position on some key issues. It would not have been a

:07:16. > :07:21.matter that I would have raised had it not been for certain responses

:07:21. > :07:27.to a Belfast Telegraph poll to the activists, the members who were

:07:27. > :07:32.present at the Sinn Fein conference because that puts some doubt for a

:07:32. > :07:39.large section of the Sinn Fein membership as to where they stood

:07:39. > :07:44.on the role of dissidents and their activity, on its support for the

:07:44. > :07:48.police. I know from having been a finance minister when a major

:07:48. > :07:52.McLaughlan was the chairman of the committee what I believe his

:07:52. > :07:55.responses would be to these matters but I think it is important that he

:07:55. > :07:59.shows that he is in support of the position that the Deputy First

:07:59. > :08:05.Minister has taken on those issues which is contrary to some of the

:08:05. > :08:11.positions that have been adopted by the active membership of his party.

:08:11. > :08:17.This house likes to publicly portray itself as a beacon of

:08:18. > :08:21.inclusive at it. Some of us, of course, have come to experience

:08:21. > :08:29.that this inclusiveness is only for those who were are inside the

:08:29. > :08:36.executive tent and therefore, this position of Deputy Speaker and the

:08:36. > :08:43.filling of it is an opportunity for this House to disprove that

:08:43. > :08:50.perception and to prove, in fact, that it does genuinely believe in

:08:51. > :08:57.it inclusiveness by appointing a Deputy Speaker from outside the

:08:57. > :09:02.party's that are represented in the executive and daring, of course,

:09:02. > :09:06.lies the nomination of Mr Basil McCrea. I am disappointed that the

:09:06. > :09:10.First Minister has taken the opportunity to respond to a rather

:09:10. > :09:16.dubious poll. The most important poll that was taken over the

:09:16. > :09:19.weekend, and there were 206 polls taken over the weekend, was on

:09:19. > :09:23.party membership that were going into the voting hall and voting for

:09:23. > :09:27.the leadership of marked him a Canice -- Martin McGuinness and

:09:27. > :09:34.Gerry Adams. That leadership has been very clear whether his party

:09:34. > :09:38.stands in relation to the use of violence. Basil McCrea has amply

:09:38. > :09:41.shown that during his time in this assembly that he will represent

:09:42. > :09:48.everyone in this assembly as Deputy Speaker without fear of a favour.

:09:48. > :09:54.That is the calibre of individual we want to be electing to this

:09:54. > :10:00.office. The concerns that the First Minister and the minister for

:10:00. > :10:03.enterprise, trading and investment raised, the concerns about the Sinn

:10:03. > :10:07.Fein conference at the weekend, they have no such concern with

:10:07. > :10:11.Basil McCrea. Will they support a candidate who will stand up for the

:10:11. > :10:14.independence of this chamber against the executive? I do think

:10:14. > :10:19.that this house should recognise that there are people who are not

:10:19. > :10:23.part of the executive, that the one to make a contribution, that will

:10:23. > :10:29.attempt to chair the debates as others have done, in a fair and

:10:29. > :10:34.impartial way. Those of you that have sat with me on committees and

:10:34. > :10:39.there have been many, from all different parties, will accept that

:10:39. > :10:44.I am fair and impartial in the way that I chair such debates. I put

:10:44. > :10:47.this question directly to members opposite, you have concerns and you

:10:47. > :10:51.have the opportunity to vote for somebody other than the candidate

:10:51. > :10:57.you have concerns about. We will watch and we will listen to what

:10:57. > :11:02.you have to say but the decision is yours. I am honoured to be

:11:02. > :11:06.nominated for this position today. I am somewhat disappointed that the

:11:06. > :11:10.First Minister took the particular line that he did because I have

:11:10. > :11:13.been a member of this desert -- assembly from when it was

:11:13. > :11:19.established. I was part of the negotiation and brought it about

:11:19. > :11:25.and also brought about the new beginning and the establishment of

:11:25. > :11:30.a new justice system. In all of that, I see it as part of my

:11:30. > :11:33.personal legacy and a stand 100% beside it and it is one of the

:11:33. > :11:37.proudest experiences of my life and I have demonstrated to any fair-

:11:37. > :11:40.minded person that I can discharge -- discharge my duties and do it

:11:40. > :11:44.fearlessly. The experience of standing up to dissidents, standing

:11:44. > :11:49.on to those who challenge the rule of law has been at my home has been

:11:49. > :11:54.petrol-bombed and attacked with in the last fought back. That doesn't

:11:54. > :11:58.determine. Every, that the Deputy First Minister has made, from the

:11:59. > :12:08.earliest days of this peace process right through to this weekend,

:12:09. > :12:41.

:12:41. > :12:44.where he addressed our party committee consent. I offer the

:12:44. > :12:54.member my congratulations and look forward to working with them in the

:12:54. > :12:59.future. Martina Purdy is still with me. Shortly after he was elected,

:12:59. > :13:05.Mitchell McLauchlan was then elected principal Deputy Speaker. The best

:13:05. > :13:15.explain that. -- you best. There's not much a distension other than

:13:15. > :13:18.

:13:18. > :13:22.that it is a fancy title. Adding it as a matter of seniority. -- I think

:13:22. > :13:28.it is. The speaker would look at that person has number two. That is

:13:28. > :13:35.why the SDLP and the Unionists were sniffy. Suppose the big thing is

:13:35. > :13:40.that he would succeed as speaker. Is that the plan? If a deal was done --

:13:41. > :13:43.a deal was done some years ago. He would be next in line. Why do think

:13:43. > :13:49.Sinn Fein selected Mitchel McLaughlin? He has been around a

:13:49. > :13:52.long time. He has done his time in terms of the party. He helped

:13:52. > :13:56.negotiate the Good Friday agreement. He helped bring about the new

:13:56. > :14:00.policing standards. He is a safe pair of hands and experienced. He

:14:00. > :14:06.has been loyal to the party that he has shown through his various briefs

:14:06. > :14:09.that he is capable of handling conflict issues. He knows how the

:14:09. > :14:14.system works and you seem to be fair-minded. He is well thought of

:14:14. > :14:20.across the assembly. He is reaching the end of his political career at

:14:21. > :14:24.67 and this is a nice way to enter it. Just briefly, John McAllister,

:14:24. > :14:30.trying to get his friend and ally elected, what should we make of

:14:30. > :14:34.that? There is no such thing as bad publicity. The independence do not

:14:34. > :14:41.get an opportunity to become much. It is a way of saying that they are

:14:41. > :14:44.still here. -- independent is. It is a way of telling the other parties

:14:44. > :14:50.that they are inclusive, but the independence do not get a share of

:14:50. > :14:52.the spoils. We heard some of the unionist questioning, whether the

:14:52. > :14:57.DUP were that concerned about whether Mitchel McLaughlin was

:14:57. > :15:00.committed to nonviolence. If you were so concerned, they could have

:15:00. > :15:05.put Basil McCrea in the post. It was a bit of fun, really. Now, thank

:15:05. > :15:10.you. Around 300 people in here in Northern Ireland take their own

:15:10. > :15:14.lives. The figure has doubled in the last 30 years. The rise in the

:15:14. > :15:18.suicide rate has prompted MLAs to discuss the topic many times.

:15:18. > :15:22.Today, emotion called upon the executive to our ties suicide

:15:22. > :15:27.prevention. It was a rational story which had a major impact on the

:15:27. > :15:34.chamber. -- personal story. I have prepared my contribution to this

:15:34. > :15:37.debate. I'm prepared my contribution some time ago but things changed

:15:37. > :15:41.dramatically last Tuesday. Last Tuesday morning, I was in this

:15:41. > :15:48.chamber taking part in the business of the day when I was asked to take

:15:48. > :15:52.a phone call from home. A hysterical voice at the other end of the phone

:15:52. > :16:02.told me to come home immediately. My 39-year-old son in law had been

:16:02. > :16:05.

:16:05. > :16:10.found dead in our garage. I've raced home, to my daughter's home, to be

:16:10. > :16:14.confronted with ambulance, police and other personnel, and my

:16:14. > :16:23.distraught daughter and family members, to be told of the

:16:23. > :16:28.circumstances of the tragedy. My son-in-law had fallen victim to this

:16:28. > :16:33.horrible illness. He was a big, strong family man. He had everything

:16:33. > :16:38.to live for. He had a good home and a wonderful, hard-working wife, and

:16:38. > :16:45.a fantastic daughter, a good job. He was the principal of the local

:16:45. > :16:50.Primary School. And now our families and the whole community are faced

:16:50. > :17:00.with something that we cannot understand. The question is, why?

:17:00. > :17:04.Why, why? It has been asked in Northern Ireland 300 times. We're

:17:04. > :17:07.not the first family to ensure this shocking experience. 300 people in

:17:07. > :17:13.Northern Ireland have lost their lives in such unexplained

:17:14. > :17:20.circumstances. This is through 300 and beings, all good people, far too

:17:20. > :17:26.many, and we must continue to strive for answers. -- this is 300 human

:17:26. > :17:33.beings. I welcome the Minister's commitment and his department 's

:17:33. > :17:36.fight against suicide. Much work continues to protect this strategy

:17:36. > :17:41.and the continued effort of the public health agency, particularly

:17:41. > :17:48.the recent TV advertisement -- TV at on looking after your mental health.

:17:48. > :17:53.But unfortunately, we continue to lose people to this illness. In

:17:53. > :17:59.conclusion, I refer to my own experience last week. I'm make an

:17:59. > :18:04.appeal to John Dowd, the Minister of education. And indeed to other

:18:04. > :18:11.departments. My son-in-law was a teacher, and so was my daughter.

:18:11. > :18:16.They do sterling work, and just maybe they are being asked to

:18:16. > :18:20.overstretch themselves. Anyone in this chamber that has family members

:18:20. > :18:26.who are teachers will know what I speaking about. They do not finish

:18:26. > :18:33.at 3pm. They come home with cases and work all hours of the night.

:18:33. > :18:39.Officials much -- officials must look for signs of targets, results,

:18:39. > :18:43.inspections and so one, as King too much. There is a fine line between

:18:43. > :18:48.success and disaster. -- asking too much. We all want to see success,

:18:48. > :18:55.but at what price? We need to look after all our providers and prevent

:18:55. > :19:00.people from going over the edge. There is so much more to be said on

:19:00. > :19:08.the issue, and I thank the members that have so many -- that have

:19:08. > :19:14.already spoken. Cross agency work and fulfilment of the comfort

:19:14. > :19:20.report, economic factors... Until we get on top of this issue, we will

:19:20. > :19:28.have more sadness and grief, more tears. We need action now. Thank you

:19:28. > :19:33.very much. Kieren McCarthy with his very personal experience of losing

:19:33. > :19:37.his son-in-law to suicide last week. The culture minister revealed today

:19:37. > :19:43.that she has commissioned new research into sectarianism in local

:19:43. > :19:47.football. She said she had taken extra steps after becoming concerned

:19:47. > :19:52.about the ongoing presence of sectarianism around the local game.

:19:52. > :19:54.Later, the minister condemned those who carried a mock coffin of

:19:54. > :19:58.Margaret Thatcher outside Cliftonville's around head of the

:19:58. > :20:02.title clinching victory over Linfield on Saturday. First of all,

:20:03. > :20:09.I would like to congratulate Cliftonville the book club on

:20:09. > :20:17.winning the Irish league. Our commiserations to Linfield. The

:20:17. > :20:20.Irish Football Association sees local -- oversees local soccer and

:20:20. > :20:24.is in charge of dealing with sectarianism where it arises. The

:20:24. > :20:31.company -- the organisation already runs a successful campaign seeking

:20:31. > :20:36.to promote an inclusive culture throughout the game and challenge

:20:36. > :20:39.prejudice, and sectarianism within the sport. I'd endorse this

:20:39. > :20:43.campaign, which is consistent with the ends of my department and my

:20:43. > :20:47.strategy for sport, seeking to promote good relations and

:20:47. > :20:54.integration between communities. I'm concerned that despite the good work

:20:54. > :21:04.of the Irish were Bob Association, the remain in the concerns that

:21:04. > :21:07.

:21:08. > :21:10.sectarianism remains to be a problem in soccer. As a member for North

:21:10. > :21:17.Belfast, can I congratulate Cliftonville on winning the Irish

:21:17. > :21:19.league? It is a pity about the result. Will the Minister join with

:21:19. > :21:25.me in condemning those Cliftonville supporters who carried a Coffin

:21:25. > :21:29.draped in a black flag with a witches hat on it up the

:21:29. > :21:36.Cliftonville Road, singing offensive songs about Baroness Thatcher, using

:21:36. > :21:42.gratuitous language and mocking her passing before the game? Such

:21:42. > :21:46.behaviour is unacceptable. It should not be tolerated. Will the Minister

:21:46. > :21:51.join me in condemning it. Does she agree that Cliftonville is the

:21:51. > :21:54.bookclub should distance themselves from such behaviour? -- Cliftonville

:21:54. > :22:01.football club. I condemn any sectarian incident but I have not

:22:01. > :22:03.seen the footage that my colleague refers to. I asked people who were

:22:03. > :22:08.there and they said it was not Cliftonville fans who were involved

:22:08. > :22:13.in that activity. I do not think, at that activity occurred in the

:22:13. > :22:17.ground, that we would be having a different conversation. Cliftonville

:22:17. > :22:23.the bookclub need to be given the flight ability to make remarks about

:22:23. > :22:26.this. In terms of people celebrating Margaret Thatcher's passing,

:22:26. > :22:30.regardless of how they feel about that, and have my own feelings, and

:22:30. > :22:35.regardless of her legacy in this island, which was not good, and the

:22:35. > :22:39.fact that she was a divisive character in our own country, do not

:22:39. > :22:43.think it is befitting that someone who brought nothing but misery, the

:22:43. > :22:46.milli Asian and degradation to this country should behave in a way that

:22:47. > :22:50.is undignified. This should not follow in her footsteps. I would

:22:50. > :22:54.encourage no want to be involved in that activity. The culture minister.

:22:54. > :22:59.Horse meat was back on the menu at Stormont Today with the Agriculture

:23:18. > :23:26.insure the food they sell is what it says on the label. The DNA testing

:23:31. > :23:36.system if they discover more than 1% in their products. Numbers are being

:23:36. > :23:46.asked to take one sample per 50 tons of force meat for testing with the

:23:46. > :23:51.

:23:51. > :23:57.minimum of 5000. Each DNA test will cost up to 400 euros. A programme of

:24:00. > :24:07.storage, meat processing plants and cutting plants have now been

:24:07. > :24:14.visited. Can the Minister detail whether she believes that the

:24:19. > :24:29.are as strong as they need to be to allow authorities to bring every

:24:36. > :24:44.consistently throughout this crisis, our local industry maintains a high

:24:44. > :24:51.reputation and is not involved in this incident. We're talking about

:24:51. > :24:57.processed food and there is an initiative to be resolved there. --

:24:57. > :25:03.and issue to be resolved. By the end of the year, we expect more

:25:03. > :25:09.discussions and regulations on the country of origin labelling. The

:25:09. > :25:19.Minister indicated that up until this crisis -- this crisis, the

:25:19. > :25:24.

:25:24. > :25:33.practice in recent years was that at most two inspections took place. But

:25:33. > :25:43.there was never any taking or testing of actual product. How far

:25:43. > :25:48.does the Minister accent that that contributed to the ability to cause

:25:48. > :25:51.force meat to appear? I think the issue is very clear. It is either an

:25:51. > :25:57.issue of gross negligence or criminality. No matter what checks

:25:57. > :26:03.and balances you have in place, if there is a criminal element

:26:03. > :26:09.involved, they will try to find a way to put forward the actions that

:26:09. > :26:12.they have been involved in. The Agriculture Minister. MLAs have

:26:12. > :26:17.agreed to a shakeup of Assembly Question Time, in order, they say,

:26:17. > :26:26.to make it more relevant to the public. For the first time,

:26:26. > :26:36.ministers will take a topical questions on which they have not

:26:36. > :26:37.

:26:37. > :26:47.been briefed. He is the chair of the procedures committee on why the

:26:47. > :26:48.

:26:48. > :26:58.change has been introduced. It may be a short report, but I believe the

:26:58. > :26:58.

:26:58. > :27:08.implementation of the Redmond Asians has the potential to transform

:27:08. > :27:10.

:27:10. > :27:20.question Time. Most importantly, to increase engagement. The review has

:27:20. > :27:27.

:27:27. > :27:33.concluded that while there are already a number of absences for

:27:33. > :27:43.screw -- opportunities for scrutinising ministers, these are

:27:43. > :27:49.

:27:49. > :27:52.largely scripted and the timing for tabling requests can result in a

:27:52. > :27:58.loss of topicality. Questions for oral answer are separate. They are

:27:58. > :28:06.taken several working days before they are due to be taken so newly

:28:06. > :28:08.emerging issues that arise between the submission of questions and then

:28:08. > :28:14.being asked in the chamber cannot be covered. Urgent oral questions

:28:14. > :28:20.prevent some opportunity for more current questioning, these are

:28:20. > :28:30.limited to single tablets. -- single topics. The committee has considered

:28:30. > :28:35.

:28:35. > :28:39.the potential benefits of introducing this system. These are

:28:39. > :28:41.outlined in the report. Topical questions would present an

:28:41. > :28:51.additional opportunity for ministers to be held to account on more

:28:51. > :28:52.

:28:52. > :28:55.immediate issues, while the topic is still current. As a committee, we

:28:55. > :29:02.approached the question of topical questions with an open mind. I'd

:29:02. > :29:12.think anybody had a closed mind English and to this mission. We felt

:29:12. > :29:13.

:29:13. > :29:23.that there was something lacking in question Time. We felt too many

:29:23. > :29:23.

:29:23. > :29:32.questions were scripted, and too many cancers were scripted as well.
