Ms Carál Ní Chuilín: Assembly records
All of Ms Carál Ní Chuilín’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I did not want to get into the clause-by-clause stuff, but I raised that issue because there are differences here, and there have been for some time. Equally, as you and Paula have mentioned, nobody wants to put young people against older people or older people against young people. That is not what we are about.…
Those are the things that people do not normally think about when they consider legislation. That is where the lived experience of constituents, through their elected reps, enriches us all and results in better legislation. There are existing laws that would result in a drop in the levels of discrimination and…
I thank Claire Sugden for introducing the Bill. It was no mean feat, I am sure, particularly given the hoops that she had to jump through. The Committee discussed the Bill last Wednesday, and I looked through it over the weekend. I appreciate that this is Second Stage, so I will not get into any specifics. We welcome…
Minister, thank you for the update. I am sure that, like me, you have listened to the experts, such as civil engineers, accountants and compulsory purchase order experts. The main concern has always been safety: do you agree that a price cannot be put on the safety of the drivers and pedestrians who use the A5?
Ms Ní Chuilín asked the Minister for Infrastructure to confirm whether, following the Court of Appeal's ruling, her Department will prioritise beginning construction on the A5.
Go raibh maith agat , Minister. That is good news. I have been working with a group of people for a long time, and they are now impoverished owing to having had to flee their homes as a result of violence. On a separate issue, next week is, as you will be aware, Baby Loss Awareness Week: do you have an update on an…
Will the deputy First Minister explain why the dispute resolution process with the British Government regarding their outstanding financial contribution to victims' payments is still unresolved?
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any steps being taken to address inequalities in women's access to healthcare, including waiting times for gynaecology, reproductive and specialist services.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any progress that has been made towards delivering (i) a comprehensive sexual orientation strategy; and (ii) an effective framework, for advancing LGBT equality.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) any support available to private renters facing unaffordable (a) rents; (b) rent arrears; (c) the threat of eviction; and (ii) any plans he has to strengthen protections for tenants.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any plans his Department has to increase social and affordable housing provision in North Belfast, given the level of housing need in the constituency.
I thank the Minister for that positive response. It is a historic event, particularly in the Gaeltacht Quarter. Obviously, the Minister is aware — she mentioned it — that the geographical area of the Gaeltacht Quarter has been extended. Given that extension, will the Minister confirm whether the pilot scheme will be…
Ms Ní Chuilín asked the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on bilingual traffic signs for Ceathrú na Gaeltachta [Translation: the Gaeltacht Quarter] .
What strategies or initiatives, other than the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes campaign on tackling violence against women and girls and identifying coercion and control, can you bring forward to tackle the issue?
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) any funding available to (a) women's refuges; and (b) specialist organisations supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse; and (ii) whether any assessment has been made regarding whether funding is sufficient to meet current demand.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any plans his Department has to increase access to day services for people experiencing homelessness in Belfast City Centre.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) any action being taken to reduce the number of households living in temporary accommodation, and (ii) any targets that have been set for reducing homelessness.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) any investment planned for (a) regeneration; (b) community development; and (c) tackling deprivation, in North Belfast; and (ii) how local communities will be involved in determining those priorities.
I thank the Minister for that answer. It is disappointing that he did not put any direct funding into the Fleadh Cheoil. I welcome the fact that spaces belonging to the Department were made available. However, the business case for next year is being made now and will continue into early 2027. Will the Minister commit…
I thank Mark for submitting the question. You did not answer his question other than to confirm what I understood the reason for the delay to be. It is that the DUP is a party of climate-change deniers, and that is why you are blocking the investment strategy. Is that the case?
