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.
Bovine Tuberculosis That this Assembly recognises that high levels of animal disease, including bovine Tuberculosis (bTB), undermine environmental sustainability by increasing resource use per unit of food produced and contributing to higher greenhouse gas emissions; notes figures from the Public Health Agency, as…
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does she agree that, all too often, perpetrators exploit their position of power and authority to manipulate, control and, ultimately, abuse and further damage their victims?
It is my understanding that advice has been issued following correspondence between the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Shared Environmental Service on the cross-border impacts of agricultural litter and manure spreading on designated sites. Will the Minister confirm that the Environment Agency has…
I support the draft Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2026. While the Order is technical in nature, it sits within a broader strategic context. Since Brexit, the North participates in both the UK emissions trading scheme and, in respect of electricity generation under the Windsor framework, the…
I thank the Minister for her answer. Minister, are you concerned that there is a general lack of awareness that e-scooters are not legally permitted for road use in the North?
Ms Finnegan asked the Minister of Justice, in view of the rise in the use of e-scooters on roads and the fact that they are not legally permitted for road use, whether she has had any discussions with the Chief Constable of the PSNI regarding the use of e-scooters on main roads.

To ask the Minister of Justice, pursuant to AQW 39000/22-27, to detail the timescale for the initialisation and completion of the work of the proposed scoping group, on developing a new family law model.
I welcome the motion. Sinn Féin approaches it with care, seriousness and compassion, because women's lives, safety and dignity are at its heart. There can be no ambiguity in our position when it comes to exploitation, coercion and trafficking. Those are grave abuses of human rights and must be confronted whenever and…
I start by echoing the comments commending Cara for moving the motion and for sharing her difficult story. I can only imagine it. Sinn Féin welcomes the motion and supports its core intent. The use of artificial intelligence to facilitate online violence against women and girls is deeply concerning, rapidly evolving…
I am glad to hear questions being asked about SES and its role. We have met farmers and the agri-food sector and have heard that some planning applications have taken three or more years to be decided. Minister, what is your Department doing to help in those cases?
I welcome the opportunity to speak in support of the legislative consent motion. The Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill gives effect in domestic law to the High Seas treaty — a landmark international agreement that was the first of its kind to offer meaningful protection to marine biodiversity in areas of…
To ask the Minister of Justice for her assessment of the report, Totally Invisible: The experiences of domestic violence and abuse victims/survivors and children engaging with private law family court processes in Northern Ireland, Commissioner for Victims of Crime Office.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for their assessment of the strategic impact of programmes delivered under the Strategic Framework to End Violence against Women and Girls.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any provisions of the Domestic Abuse and Civil Proceedings Act (Northern Ireland) 2021 that have (i) not been implemented; and (ii) been partially implemented.
I thank the Minister for his statement. Minister, biodiversity loss is already significant. What actions from the draft strategy would be prioritised in the first year to ensure early delivery?
The Minister's statement is welcome. Minister, the work of Waterways Ireland recognises that our waterways do not stop at the border, and neither do climate change or biodiversity. What steps is Waterways Ireland taking to address climate change and loss of biodiversity?
I acknowledge the publication of the 'Public Media Ireland: a new PSM Organisation for a New Country' report, which researchers from Ulster University and Dublin City University produced. The report examines the future of public service broadcasting in the context of constitutional change on the island. The report is…
