(during Covid) It wasn't there."So, the member, if she wishes to continue to challenge me, and she's entitled to challenge me, but I love the kind of 'pity me' approach that the member takes."'I will not make an apology'McAllister tried to interject to make a point of order before the deputy speaker said: "Just a second, just a second, just a second".Making a point of order, Nuala McAllister asked: "Mr Speaker, is it appropriate for the minister to make what amounts to misogynistic comments in this chamber?""It is an absolute disgrace that he just distracts, and attacks doesn't bother us, but people see through it, and it is an absolute disgrace that a minister would act like that," she added.Givan replied: "That is not remotely the case."NI AssemblyMcAllister accused Deputy Speaker Steve Aiken of being "patronising"The Speaker Edwin Poots, who was in the chair, said he would review the minister's remarks "in the calm of day".When McAllister subsequently tried to intervene with another point of order, the deputy speaker, Steve Aiken, asked her to sit down, and she accused him of being "patronising".He added: "You have the opportunity to apologise for making that statement right now because I believe that was directed at me."There was no patronising I was waiting for the minister to finish in accordance with what he is supposed to do. Would you care to make an apology member?"Member, you have an opportunity to retract and make an apology for the statement you made, or you can remove yourself from the chamber."She replied: "I won't make an apology because you do need to look at the way you do speak to many of the women in this chamber... so I will not make an apology."You can ask me again and my answer won't change."'Not acceptable'In a statement, an Alliance party spokesperson said: "Everyone, including the speaker and deputies need to treat MLAs with courtesy. Sadly, that convention is being eroded."Patronising and shouting at any member is not acceptable, particularly from those responsible for chairing and upholding those standards. The deputy speaker needs to reflect on his conduct."More on this storyThe challenges facing politicians as Stormont returns from summer breakAlliance Party (Northern Ireland)UUP (Ulster Unionist Party)Northern IrelandNorthern Ireland AssemblyDUP (Democratic Unionist Party)
