Miss Áine Murphy: Assembly records
All of Miss Áine Murphy’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
What happened in Fivemiletown has had a lasting impact on the local community and the entire constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone. People witnessed the destruction of cattle on land that many of them travel past day by day. Many, including children, have been left with distressing memories and a deep sense of…
I do not doubt that there is agreement across the House that cruelty to animals is absolutely unacceptable. Nobody wants to see animals shocked, harmed or mistreated in the name of training, and that principle should unite us all. In many cases, humane, reward-based training methods are not only kinder but more…
Minister, given that it has been four years since emergency general surgery was suspended at the SWAH, staff and patients have, of course, been left in limbo, as you will know and as your predecessor knew. With that in mind, will you finally bring forward a decision on the future of emergency general surgery at the…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank Members for contributing to today's debate. There is clear agreement across the Chamber that the absence of an agreed Budget for 2026-27 is creating uncertainty for Departments and is having an impact on public bodies as well as community organisations. However, we…
For the final time, I declare an interest: my mother resided in a mother-and-baby home that is included in schedule 2 to the Bill. I pay tribute to all birth mothers, adult adoptees and family members, some of whom join us in the Public Gallery today, and, of course, to those watching online. Today belongs to the…
I thank everyone for joining us today for the second group of amendments. I will touch on the disappointment and hurt that were caused during the Consideration Stage regarding the amendment on the posthumous eligibility dates that was not selected for the previous debate. I am sure that every Member in the Chamber has…
At the outset, I declare an interest, as my mother previously resided in a mother-and-baby home that is listed in schedule 2 to the Bill. Before I address the group 1 amendments, I pay tribute to the victims and survivors whose experiences have brought us to this point. I know that many are watching, and some are with…
I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, do you accept that if childcare providers are receiving large sums of public money, parents, at the very least, should be able to expect a cap on costs and more affordable prices? More affordable childcare is the lens that many, many parents have to look through.
First Minister, it was great to see you and the deputy First Minister meeting hotel and hospitality businesses in my home county of Fermanagh recently. As always, I acknowledge the vital role that those businesses play in driving tourism, attracting visitors and, of course, supporting our local economy. Do you agree…
I thank the Minister for her answer. I am glad to hear that the legislation is progressing. Does the Minister agree that, given that we hope to see, due to graduated driver licences, a reduction in the number of collisions, insurance companies should reduce the ridiculous premiums that they are quoting for many young…
Deputy First Minister, many businesses in my constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, especially those on the high street, are struggling at the moment, particularly with overheads. What additional support can be provided to address that?
I thank the Minister for his statement. Given the concerns that many had even before Christmas about bluetongue and the fact that we will most likely be entering a vector high-risk period in the coming months, what engagement did you have with your colleagues at the NSMC on an all-island approach to disease prevention…
At the outset, I declare an interest as a firearms licence holder for sporting purposes and vermin control. I know that related issues have been raised during the debate, so I want to get that on the record. Sinn Féin MLAs will support the Bill's progressing to Committee Stage, when it can be fully considered,…
I declare an interest: my mother resided in a mother-and-baby home that is referenced in schedule 2 to the Bill. I warmly welcome all those who have joined us in the Public Gallery and the many who will be watching online. Many of them have been with us throughout the process, and their continued presence is…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank everybody for taking part in the debate. It was a useful debate. Declan referred to the fact that we had brought a similar motion to the Chamber in November 2024. In my constituency, as is the case in many rural areas across the North, bovine TB is not just…
First Minister, I welcome your comment that the future of the site remains a live issue. Do you agree with me that fully regenerating the site would be transformative socially and economically and that it is time to move forward on that without delay?
I support the Bill and welcome its Second Stage. For many people in County Fermanagh, the legislation has been a long time coming. As Members may know, I introduced a private Member's Bill in the previous mandate to ban fracking. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to get it through Committee Stage. For years, people in…
Thank you for the update, Minister. How can already hard-pressed households and families be protected from price gouging as a result of increasing energy costs?
