Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members’ Business: Free and Fair Elections in Zimbabwe (23 Jun 2008)

Ian Paisley: ..., and it is a terrible, sad story. One would have thought that the world would have left behind such stories, but now the story is being repeated: a country is being devoured by the wolves of terrorism in an evil and vicious way. Yesterday’s rally in Zimbabwe could not take place, even though it was backed by the courts of the land. There have been massacres in the country, and, when...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister: Eames/Bradley Consultative  Group on the Past (4 Feb 2008)

Ian Paisley: Looking at the man who asked the question and looking into his past, I think that he would be better keeping his mouth closed on that issue. As a unionist, I have no doubt that the terror campaign that was waged against the people of Northern Ireland was terrorism and not a war. However, it would be inappropriate for my Department to comment on the findings of a report that is not even...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Ministerial Statement: The Appointment of Commissioners Designate for Victims and Survivors (28 Jan 2008)

Ian Paisley: ...of Finance and Personnel. Our recognition today of the needs and concerns of victims and survivors moves on to the start of delivery for all those in Northern Ireland who suffered over decades of conflict, terror and strife. A key part of that relates to the issue of a commissioner for victims and survivors. Members will be aware that the process for that appointment began under direct...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: National Security (25 Jul 2007)

Ian Paisley: ...Ireland, especially now, as there is apparently government there, will be informed of what is taking place? I am not passing judgment on what he said. I come from a land that has been scourged with terrorism, and the baptism of terrorism is a terrible thing. My party is the largest Unionist party in the House from Northern Ireland and the largest party representing people in Northern...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Indication of intention to nominate First Minister by the largest political party of the largest political designation and Deputy First Minister by the largest political party of the second largest political designation (24 Nov 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...population in Northern Ireland — in deviating from the course of action that I have taken. I believe that my policy can and will lead to a better Northern Ireland, where peace and justice take the place of terror and strife, when true democracy reigns. For that to happen — for me as the leader of Unionism to enter a Government under the arrangements identified at St. Andrews...

Orders of the Day: Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Bill (21 Nov 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...Northern Ireland—in deviating from the course of action that I have taken. I believe that my policy can and will lead to a better Northern Ireland, where peace and justice take the place of terror and strife, when true democracy reigns. For that to happen—for me as the leader of Unionism to enter a Government under the arrangements identified at St. Andrews—there must be...

Orders of the Day: Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Bill (21 Nov 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...can say to the House is to echo the words of the great German reformer: "Here we stand; we can do naught else." I trust that the Government will stand up to the terrorists and that we will see an end to terrorism and the beginning of a better Ulster, with pure democracy leading it.

Sessional Orders: Debate on the Address — [First Day] (15 Nov 2006)

Ian Paisley: .... Even if I did know something, I would not, as a Privy Councillor, be permitted to say anything about it. However, I have sat in the House for a long time. The House failed miserably to deal with terrorism in Northern Ireland. I am not going to go into the background of that. It is a fact. I have in my study in the Stormont Parliament photographs of 301 gallant policemen who gave their...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Committee Business: Report on Law and Order Issues (19 Sep 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...party in the House that refuses to support law and order. There can be no covering up that fact; no detailed reports are necessary to establish why it refuses to support policing. Sinn Féin remains committed at heart to crime, terror and an organisation that, by its nature, is structured to destroy our country. It is for Sinn Féin to step up to the mark. What is required from all...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Committee Business: Report on the Economic Challenges facing Northern Ireland (11 Sep 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...for future generations, let us take that time. For 35 years, the people of Northern Ireland were subject to a sickening sectarian murder campaign. As well as taking the lives of over 3,000 individuals, the terrorists wreaked havoc on our ability to function as a normal society. Business bore the brunt of terrorism. Shops, offices and factories were frequently blown to smithereens....

Orders of the Day: Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (25 Jul 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...Northern Ireland Members wanted that to be done. Success rests with the Government. If the Government put down the IRA and the so-called Protestant paramilitary—if they put an end to all the terrorism, cleaning of banknotes and so forth—we will have what we want: ideal democracy. If we can have that, however, let us have the same democracy that we have in legislation on this...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Secretary of State Motion: Spending Review and Priorities (7 Jul 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...people that the Member wants in a future Government of Northern Ireland. The gunman will not be there, and neither will the people who carry out criminal activities. Those who are associated with terrorism, from whatever side of the country, will not be there with my vote, or the vote of my party. The Member may vote for them, and work with them, as he did in the past. We will not be...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Secretary of State Motion: Spending Review and Priorities (7 Jul 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...The motion is wide enough for that because it includes everything. The most important issue at the present time is the security of the citizens of this land. Not only are we living in the shadow of terrorism as terrorists carry out many atrocious crimes, but individuals in the Province are being attacked, especially womenfolk. That is absolutely deplorable, and any right-thinking citizen...

Orders of the Day: New Clause 3 — Conditions for devolving policing and justice matters (17 May 2006)

Ian Paisley: .... He knows very well that the IMC report was unequivocal in its condemnation of the Ulster Volunteer Force. Three paragraphs of the report spell out that it is a terrorist body and is engaged in terrorism. How, then, can he say that there is a difference between the activity of Sinn Fein and the activity of the UVF, and that because the official Unionist party has gone into a coalition...

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland Bill: Clause 1 — Preparations for Restoration of Devolved Government (27 Apr 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...that all parties involved in the talks must agree on the question of democracy. We cannot have people at those talks who want to be members of the Government of Northern Ireland yet stick to their terrorism or to their criminal practices. That was set out firmly yesterday and it was endorsed by the Secretary of State, who agreed that that must be the keystone to the Assembly. However, if...

Northern Ireland Bill (26 Apr 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...not need these Ministers to say, "You're depending on me but you'll not get your money." That is a funny sort of direct rule. It is the IRA that needs to change. If the IRA changes from its criminality, terrorism and threats, it will be received in the Assembly on the very same basis as anybody else. I will not say anything about its roguery. We have been called rogues but we shall not say...

Oral Answers to Questions — Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland Assembly (15 Mar 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...'s only one way in, and that way is for everyone. You have not kept that way. Therefore, you have to be excluded."? The time has come when he has to decide whether he will tell those who agree with terrorism that they can be in the Government.

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (13 Mar 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...well to talk about having Sinn Fein on the Policing Board, and about its members taking part in policing and justice, but there should be no place on the Policing Board for anyone associated with terrorism and with the crime that follows hard on the heels of the terrorist organisations, whether they are the UVF's nominee, who is now on the Policing Board, or not. Of course, if that had...

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (13 Mar 2006)

Ian Paisley: I should like to bring the hon. Gentleman back to his point that people with connections to terrorism could not possibly be involved in certain matters relating to the police, the law and the courts. Would he go further and say that it would not be in the interests of Northern Ireland to have people in government in that part of the United Kingdom who were still connected to terrorists and to...

Opposition Parties (Financial Assistance) (8 Feb 2006)

Ian Paisley: ...of the Social Democratic and Labour party said what he did and that Unionist parties are saying the same thing. Surely he must understand that he will put all the other parties that have forsworn terrorism in a difficult position. The advantage will go to the paramilitary groups because they can cook the books and nothing will be done about it. If we are going to have an audit, let us see...
