Mr Andrew McMurray: Assembly records
All of Mr Andrew McMurray’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline any work his Department is undertaking to prepare for outbreaks of wildfires in the Mournes.
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on the Strategic Review of Tollymore National Outdoor Centre, including any associated timelines for action.
I thank the Minister for giving way. I will pay due deference in that regard. However, as a member of said Committee, when arm's-length body A comes in and says, "This is what we need to do", arm's-length body B comes in and says, "We have looked at this, and this is what we believe is required", and then arm's-length…
I will try to keep between the tramlines. If I need any lessons in filibustering, I will go to Mr Frew, because he gave a good lesson in it earlier. I speak in my capacity as the Alliance Party's infrastructure spokesperson. Infrastructure affects us all in our everyday lives, and we all know the pressures that the…
Thank you, Minister. I visited Action Mental Health, one of the affected voluntary sector agencies. You mentioned other Ministers: what work are you doing with those other Ministers, such as the Minister for Communities and the Minister of Finance, to ensure that voluntary sector organisations such as Action Mental…
Mr McMurray asked the Minister for the Economy how she will continue to support the agencies and individuals affected by cuts in the local growth fund, which provide a double threat to the economy, as those employed by the sector will lose jobs and those unemployed in the long term, for a myriad of reasons, will not…
To ask the Minister of Education whether the Education Authority will agree to an emergency meeting with representatives of St Francis' Primary School, Drumaroad, to discuss the urgent need for solutions to the recent loss of its canteen and the continuing damage to its mobile classroom.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any immediate actions the Education Authority plan to take to restore safe conditions for learning and dining at St Francis' Primary School, Drumaroad, following the recent environmental health inspection that resulted in the condemnation of the school's canteen.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) any consultation that was carried out before cutting down trees along Dundrum Road, Dundrum; and (ii) any alternative solutions that were considered.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any actions her Department is considering to address surface water flooding in the vicinity of Dundrum Road, Dundrum.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any plans her Department has to replace the trees that have been cut down along the Dundrum Road, Dundrum.
That interaction made me think of 'Amazing Grace', a hymn written by an Englishman washed up in Donegal on his way to America, but that is beside the point. Can the Minister outline how value for money and long-term public benefit have been assessed when allocating funding for the USA-NI250 project?
Whatever about whatever regarding emails going here or there, I struggle to keep up sometimes as to whether it is a Sinn Féin billboard or just a billboard. Is the point that, as the Minister responsible for overseeing planning, you should see to it that the billboard's foundations are removed from that particular…
I acknowledge the remark, but I will stick to the motion at hand about the state of the roads, thank you, Mr Buchanan. It is hard to disagree with the motion. It is not because there is not money going towards the roads; in fact, huge sums are being spent on road maintenance every year, but they do not translate into…
During the course of a rumbustious debate in the Chamber, the Alliance Party will very often be referenced as being this or that, none of which I will credit or repeat. One such reference, however, is that we are simply a middle-of-the-road party. Dare I say that many of us are middle of the road at the minute, given…
In the first instance, I pay the utmost respect and give thanks to the Ambulance Service. Its staff are highly trained men and women who answer the call to a ream of incidents across the country, often coming across the most challenging and distressing of incidents. The figures that I will highlight do not reflect on…
Will the Minister provide an update on the negotiations that have been taken place with Treasury for part of the money to be made available in Northern Ireland?
Thank you, Minister. You gave us a wee update on Ireland's Ancient East. Is there any likelihood that that brand might be developed or reviewed before the completion of the Narrow Water bridge, and is there scope for some sort of joint promotion? You might be in the Cooley peninsula, looking across at Warrenpoint or…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the amount she has allocated to (i) structural road maintenance; and (ii) essential routine road maintenance activities, in 2024-25.
