The motion voted on

Motion Amendment (Private Members' Motion): Publication of the Joint Census - Amendment 1

Leave out all after ‘housing;’ and insert: ‘notes with concern that Northern Ireland lags behind the Republic of Ireland in several key areas, including lower population growth, poorer reported health outcomes, and a significantly higher burden of unpaid care; believes that these disparities are in large part caused by the failure of the Executive to deliver better economic, health and social outcomes; acknowledges that addressing these gaps can be helped through strengthened cooperation with the Irish Government; and calls on all Executive departments to take stock of these findings and to work in structured partnership with counterparts in the Irish Government to produce and implement clear plans that help close the gaps between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in key areas.’
