Ms Aoife Finnegan: Assembly records
All of Ms Aoife Finnegan’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
On the back of our meeting, yesterday, with the UK CCC, it was agreed that we need to take a balanced approach to climate action being delivered. We have made it known and promoted the fact that climate action must be progressed through a just transition. I would therefore like to know the time frame for the…
I congratulate Crossmaglen Rangers on another fantastic county final victory and for bringing the Gerry Fegan Cup back to Crossmaglen. As a proud Crossmaglen woman, I know how much the victory means to our community. Cross Rangers are a huge part of the fabric of our town, with generations of families having played…
I rise today to again discuss the serious concerns about maternity services at Daisy Hill Hospital. What frustrates me most is that front-line staff have been raising concerns for well over a year about the direction of travel for maternity services at Daisy Hill. Those people are working on the ground every day, and…
To ask the Minister of Education, given the project was not eligible for consideration for funding from the Curriculum-Led Capital Investment Programme, to outline the funding mechanism identified to provide £30,000 to Richhill AFC.
Minister, I thank you and your officials for all the work that you have done on that important scheme. It has certainly made a difference in the lives of the parents who have come to me in my constituency. Can you highlight exactly what your Department has done to promote the important baby loss certificate scheme?
I thank the Member for the information in her winding-up speech. The proposer of the motion said earlier that education was key to owning dogs and that people should not own dogs unless they are educated to do so. Will the Member agree with me that animal welfare is a wide-ranging topic, and that therefore people who…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a fhreagra. It is heartening to hear that those discussions are ongoing, but, Minister, in your responses, you highlighted the fact that funding pressures are affecting Lough Neagh and other matters as a result of the loss of EU funding, owing to Brexit, and years of British austerity.…
Ms Finnegan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline any engagement that he has had with the new British Prime Minister regarding the provision of an increased financial support package for farmers, the environment and rural communities.
I appreciate your being here, Minister, to give a bit of clarity on the situation. Sinn Féin has been consistent when it comes to Daisy Hill. In particular, after it emerged that the consultants were leaving, my party and constituency colleague Liz Kimmins made it clear to you and the trust that Daisy Hill maternity…
I thank the Minister for coming to the House to clarify the situation. I reiterate the message that our thoughts are with the Kelly family. We can only imagine what they are going through. Minister, the more details that emerge about the release of Gary Anderson, the more troubling the decision-making process seems to…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister, pursuant to AQO 3850/22-27, to detail any proposals they have made to Executive colleagues to amend climate change legislation.
Thank you. For far too long, communities like mine — Crossmaglen, Bessbrook, Newtownhamilton and many more — have lived with the consequences of poor investment, limited infrastructure and fewer well-paid employment opportunities, yet south Armagh has enormous untapped potential. Its landscape and connection with the…
Do you know what? Not at the minute. I do not know whether the SDLP is aware of this, but the Bill, as drafted, could give the DUP access to veto and allow it to hold back yet another area of progressive policymaking. When Minister Archibald set out to promote regional balance through tourism expansion and…
Thank you for that. It also remains unclear how the Bill and its obligations sit alongside things such as the Rural Needs Act 2016. There is currently a legal duty to pay due regard to rural needs in respect of policy. Will the Bill just duplicate, or even contradict, that legislation by putting a duty on Departments…
I welcome the chance to speak on the Regional Balance Bill. Sinn Féin has a long-standing record of acknowledging and tackling the North's regional imbalance. It has always been one of our top priorities. Our Economy Minister, Caoimhe Archibald, has already begun to tackle regional imbalance through economic…
I start by thanking Janice and Glenda and the whole Committee team for everything that they have done on the legislation. Sinn Féin previously raised concerns about the Bill that arose from engagement with the local government sector. Concerns remain that councils may not be adequately equipped with the tools and…
I thank the Minister for his response. In light of the recent confirmed case of bluetongue in County Wexford and the continued spread of the disease in Britain, which he has already mentioned, will he provide an update on the availability of bluetongue vaccines, the Department's vaccination strategy and whether…
