Former Alliance Party leader David Ford says Martin McGuinness "played a fundamental role in ensuring that this assembly and its institutions were complete with the devolution of justice in 2010".
Remembering the resolution of one particularly sticky problem when he was justice minister, Mr Ford says "Martin gave his word, and he stuck to his word".
"Our fragile peace process is at a crossroads", the Green Party's Clare Bailey tells the assembly.
As a society, Northern Ireland "urgently needs to come to terms with our past to give some form of peace" to victims of the Troubles who are still "living that pain, that trauma, that hurt", adds the South Belfast MLA.
Independent MLA Claire Sugden says she was a child of the Good Friday Agreement and that Martin McGuinness "was part of that journey to peace".
She says that, as a unionist, she was brought up to regard him in a certain way, but when she was appointed justice minister last year "he was very kind and generous and supportive to me".
Martin McGuinness was the product of a "discriminatory state, of the decades-long denial of civil rights to Catholics", according to People Before Profit MLA Gerry Carroll.
"No-one, therefore, can seriously criticise Martin McGuinness and the choices he made without an understanding of the way the powerful forces created the environment in which he and thousands of other people grew up in."
He adds that Mr McGuinness "did not choose the circumstances in which he made history".
Jim Allister of the TUV says Martin McGuinness "bears responsibility for many violent and needless deaths in our community".
"His hands drip with the blood of the innocent," Mr Allister says, adding that his thoughts are with the families of the victims.
Green Party leader Steven Agnew says his first meeting with Martin McGuinness was when they rummaged in a stationary cupboard at Parliament Buildings back when he was a researcher.
"He always treated me with respect as a political colleague and never acted superior," Mr Agnew adds.
Alliance Party leader Naomi Long says she does not believe there would be peace in Northern Ireland if it had not been for people like Martin McGuinness.
She says MLAs need to "pay our debt of gratitude to all of those who have brought us this far".
Their duty now, she adds, is to "deliver a better legacy to the next generation than the one which we inherited".
Mike Nesbitt of the UUP says Martin McGuinness "was one of the most significant figures in this place over the past 10 years".
He adds that Mr McGuinness was "clearly a man of his word, a straight-dealing individual, and he was a man of political integrity".
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood, who like Martin McGuinness is a Derry man, says the former first minister believed the city was a "crucible of the peace process".
He acknowledges that Mr McGuinness' "journey" began in violence but ended "grounded in the principles of peace and partnership".
The Foyle MLA tells his fellow politicians that their job now is to "do what what Martin McGuinness would've wanted us to do" in breaking the deadlock and agreeing a way forward for the executive.
Former first minister Arlene Foster pays tribute to Martin McGuinness on behalf of the DUP.
She says "many victims are feeling very hurt" at this time but she acknowledges that many republicans are missing "a leader, a friend, or a mentor".
"I think he wanted to do good and work for all of the people of Northern Ireland," she adds.
Martin McGuinness's successor as Sinn Féin's leader at Stormont says he was a "political visionary".
Michelle O'Neill says he urged people to "choose hope over fear", and that "should be the clarion call" in the crucial weeks that are facing politicians in Northern Ireland as they attempt to restore a power-sharing executive.
"I rededicate our party to completing his life's work," Mrs O'Neill concludes.
Speaker Robin Newton begins by paying his own tribute to Martin McGuiness.
He says that "without Martin McGuinness it is questionable whether there would be an Assembly".
