Ms Aisling Reilly: Assembly records
All of Ms Aisling Reilly’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Why do you not bring those proposals forward for the other sectors? The Bill is about a plan for Irish-medium education. If you want one for other sectors, bring it forward.
I thank the Member for giving way. I do not understand how it is discriminatory to ask that a workforce, including child psychologists and speech and language therapists, be planned for, particularly when it comes to children with SEN. Is it not discriminatory not to plan ahead and make sure that those people are in…
Before I start my speech, I take the opportunity — the first that I have had — to welcome Julie to the House. I congratulate her on her new role. I wish Gary and your family the very best on what must be a very difficult path. We are thinking about you and Gary. I look forward to working with you. Tá áthas an domhain…
Cancellation of Summer Schemes in Special Schools That this Assembly expresses grave concern that the Education Authority has announced the cancellation of summer schemes in special schools in 2026 due to concerns about healthcare provision for participating children; recognises that these schemes provide a lifeline…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Cuirim fáilte roimh an rún seo inniu. I very much welcome the opportunity to respond to the motion on behalf of the Minister for the Economy. Cross-border trade alone is now worth over €10 billion, and key to that success is the rise in all-Ireland trade. According to the…
Tá scéim sparánachtaí Gaeltachta Líofa oscailte d’iarratais ó bhí an tseachtain seo caite ann. Bhunaigh mo chomhghleacaí, Carál Ní Chuilín, Aire Pobail ag an am, bhunaigh sí sparánachtaí Líofa sa bhliain 2012. Ó shin i leith, fuarthas breis agus 3,000 iarratas agus deonaíodh sparánachtaí do níos mó ná 1,100 duine. Is…
Does the Member not agree that there will be an economic benefit and impact, particularly for the businesses around West Belfast, from the footfall? We should be ambitious as elected representatives for West Belfast. We want to see the most investment possible going into our small part of the world.
Thank you. I will touch on that. There is no mention of a clawback of funds on the events that they have hosted or could host outside the sport they were built for. Stadiums that were built for rugby or soccer have opened their gates to boxing events, concerts, corporate events, launches and other showcase commercial…
I also make a declaration of interest as a proud member of the GAA. Casement Park is an Executive flagship capital project, which has been mentioned. It stands alongside the other regional stadia that have already been delivered in Ravenhill and Windsor Park. That was, and is, a collective commitment by the Executive…
Absolutely. I have touched on that continued approach, particularly with the oversight board and departmental colleagues. It is so important that we continually engage with the partners who deliver services on the ground, because our commitment to ending violence against women and girls is for everyone across society.…
I thank the Member for that question, because it reinforces the fact that the ending violence against women and girls strategy is not just about one Department; it needs a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach. I absolutely concur with the Member's comments: waiting for long periods is extremely…
In my previous answer, I outlined some of that. If the strategy is to work, it has to reflect the real challenges and issues that face women and girls in our society. That means actively listening directly to women and girls, local service providers and the community and voluntary organisations on the ground. It also…
Yes, absolutely. The second delivery plan will continue to focus on community investment, collaboration and campaigns, in line with the objectives of the strategic framework. That approach will allow us to build on the momentum that we have already established through the first delivery plan. It will ensure continuity…
Violence against women and girls is an issue that affects all our communities, but we know that rural women and girls often face unique challenges. Often, living far from services and having fewer support options can increase their vulnerability and make it harder for them to get help, protection and justice. Together…
Tagann "Ní thig leat bheith ciníoch agus Gaelach" chugam nuair a smaoiním ar Fáilte 26. Togra atá ar siúl an tseachtain seo mar chuid de sheachtain frithchiníochais na nGael atá á eagrú ag m’iar-scoil agus m’iar-fhostóir, Coláiste Feirste, agus ag Spórtlann na hÉireann. Mar Ghael, rinneadh leithcheal orm. Is minic a…
I thank the Member for giving way. In my remarks, I said that it was never the intention. However, the intention may be that they are published. It may be worth mentioning that, if the Committee feels that it is important, the officials could come to the Committee to give an account of the reports in closed session;…
I commend all Members who have spoken in the debate on the tone of their contributions. I acknowledge openly and from the heart the profound harm that has been caused by clerical child abuse. For many victims and survivors of child abuse in faith-based settings, that abuse was not only something that happened and…
As I have said, the Executive Office constantly engages across the Executive with other Departments and Ministers. However, the issues that the Member raised are specifically within the Justice Minister's remit.
As I have mentioned, the Executive Office and the wider Executive have made it very clear that everyone is entitled to feel safe and be safe in our society. Racism and sectarianism have absolutely no place in our communities. There are no excuses for it, and we, as political leaders, have a responsibility to show…
As I mentioned, it is a cross-cutting issue. We need to continue working with all Ministers across the Executive. Families came here hoping that this place would finally be somewhere that they could build a stable and peaceful life. We can never lose sight of the fact that they are human beings who are looking for…
We, along with our Executive colleagues, have made it very clear that all acts of violence and intimidation are abhorrent and have no place in our society. Everyone, regardless of race, religion or background, is entitled to feel safe and be safe, free from threat or intimidation. The Executive Office provides funding…
