Ms Cara Hunter: Assembly records
All of Ms Cara Hunter’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I join the First Minister in thanking the incredible organisations and their staff who are here today. Without them, the strategic framework and the first delivery plan would not have been possible. It is a very positive and historic day for ending violence against women and girls. So many victims of sexual violence…
Minister, how does your Department monitor how well or not so well different council areas are looking into illegal breeding? I am aware that there is an animal rights abuse event next month in the Long Gallery. Will you attend that important event?
On reflection, the 2022 Assembly election was a prime example of what happens when misogyny meets the misuse of technology, so I welcome the Minister's answers. What conversations has she had with the Electoral Commission about social media abuse and how that can impact on getting more women into politics? Has she had…
I am aware that the South's first statutory agency for tackling domestic, sexual and gender-based violence will receive €50 million and have over 35 staff. As it stands, is the funding in the North of Ireland adequate or appropriate to the needs of victims of sexual and domestic violence?
I, too, rise to congratulate and share my admiration for all those members of Team GB and Team Ireland who have been at the Olympic and Paralympic Games from our shared home place, particularly Hannah Scott from Coleraine and Dearbhaile Brady from Feeny in my constituency. Dearbhaile made her Paralympic debut in…

I will speak in my capacity as education spokesperson for my party. As we have mentioned previously, we are a constructive Opposition, and I think that it is important to welcome things when they are done right. Therefore, first, I take the opportunity to commend the Education Minister on the significant amount of…
The Minister will be aware of the bank closures in Kilrea, Garvagh and Dungiven, amongst other places, in our constituency of East Derry. Undoubtedly, those closures have been detrimental for our constituents. I am aware that financial services are a reserved matter, but, in her role as Finance Minister, what can she…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether he has considered a moratorium on planning in Eglinton village until the Living With Water Plan is designed and delivered.
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank Members for their contributions. We gather today to discuss a matter of significant concern that strikes at the heart of our future: the exodus of our young people to seek higher education and opportunities elsewhere. While we acknowledge the immense educational and professional…
We have some of the lowest funding for the arts across these islands. Does the Minister share my concern that that could be detrimental to events such as the Stendhal Festival and could put young people off going into that career? Will he consider attending the Stendhal Festival in the coming weeks?
To ask the Minister of Justice whether she will meet with her counterpart in the Republic of Ireland to address the all-island issue of violence against women and girls.
To ask the Minister of Health whether his Department will consider opening a Community Crisis Intervention Service in East Derry to support those experiencing suicidal ideation and mental health crisis.

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether cloud seeding technologies have been used in Northern Ireland in the last ten years.
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. First, I thank the Minister for being here. I wish him all the best. It is great to see him back in the Chamber. It gives me great pleasure to wind on the motion. I argue that mine is one of the prettiest constituencies: it is beautiful, coastal and focused on tourism. I am…
To ask the Minister of Education whether he will work with the Education Authority to allow Destined, a group based in Feeny, to use the Education Authority Claudy Youth Club facilities.
To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department will consider funding the Destined Five Circles Project, which aims to reduce levels of isolation and exclusion experienced by children with learning disabilities and their families.
Minister, you touched on the consultation that you had. Will you give us a wee bit more detail on your Department's work to assess the impact that the change would have on farmers? Will the Minister restore the previous minimum claim size of 3 hectares for farmers to access the payments?
