Order. I am standing. Thank you, Mr Burnside. I have listened to what you have said, and I would be pleased if you will speak to me later. Your point is not part of today’s business, but it is certainly one worth noting. Thank you for making it.

Are we all sitting comfortably? I will continue. [Interruption.]

Order.

Before I proceed, I will repeat what I have said, in case Members have forgotten. Before proceeding with today’s business, I remind Members that the role of the Transitional Assembly is to take part in preparations for the restoration of devolved government in Northern Ireland in accordance with the St Andrews Agreement. I expect Members of the House to carry out that role with respect for one another and for the dignity of the House.

For my part, I intend to do my utmost to maintain respect for the dignity of the House, and I trust that I can rely on Members’ co-operation in maintaining good order in the Chamber.
