- European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Second Stage (7 Jun 2012)
Alex White: The normal parliamentary niceties do not usually extend to colleagues commenting on the progress of the debate and how long people have spoken for. Nevertheless, it is somewhat striking, if not nauseating, to recall that on the Order of Business this morning there were several war dances on the other side of the Chamber because of the amount of time afforded to the debate, because it was not...

Alex White: -----in circumstances in which it is no longer - if it ever was - willing to engage in honest debate with other parliamentarians.

- European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Second Stage (7 Jun 2012)
Alex White: We listen to lectures from the Opposition benches all the time and normally we do not interrupt. I do not mind being interrupted if it is done to raise an issue to which I could respond.

What is the Sinn Féin position? As I stated, it is to forage around as it tries to find a couple of excuses, all of which are devoid of credibility, to vote against the legislation because, by God, its Deputies want to vote...

Alex White: I welcome the publication of this Bill, which is the third in a series of initiatives that have been taken in respect of statutory revision. Statutes are not proposed for repeal on the basis alone that they are old or on the basis alone that they are British. They are proposed for repeal because a judgment has been formed that they have become spent, obsolete or otherwise unnecessary. As I...

- National Cultural Institutions: Motion [Private Members] (26 Jun 2012)
Alex White: This is a time of enormous flux and uncertainty for the country and its citizens but certain constants remain, among which are our cultural, literary and artistic heritage. The ongoing debate about national identity and sovereignty that continued today with the publication of the Van Rompuy pre-summit report - I am speaking in the right debate - has profound importance for the country but,...
