All of Ms Carál Ní Chuilín’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Minister for his response. He will know that I am from an inner-city community in North Belfast. It is no coincidence that many residents who live on congested roads suffer from respiratory diseases. Will the Minister, along with his colleague in the Infrastructure Department, consider the addition of some…
Ms Ní Chuilín asked the Minister for Communities how the public can have confidence in him when he has failed to bring forward an Irish language strategy, has brought forward an anti-poverty strategy that is not fit for purpose and has not brought forward a strategy for our LGBTQI+ brothers and sisters.
Ms Ní Chuilín asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to give examples of environmental mitigations that his Department is using or proposes to use to prevent further pollution from traffic in inner-city communities in Belfast.
First Minister, you answered a concern that I had. Do you agree that the Executive need to look at opportunities to try to end the scourge of AI tools such as Grok that are being used to degrade women and girls on social media?
I welcome Mr Wilson to the Assembly and pay tribute to William Irwin. William was a gentleman. I wish you all a happy new year. Like Kellie, I received the correspondence from Paul McCusker, as, in fact, we all did. I have gone out on outreach a few times with the People's Kitchen and have met a lot of homeless people…
Emergency Shelter in Belfast To ask the Minister for Communities, given the recent freezing cold weather over the holiday period and possibly of further freezing conditions over the winter, can he provide details on how his Department will ensure that emergency shelter will be provided for people sleeping on the…
I thank Alliance and the SDLP for tabling the motion and amendment. While I do not like some of the language in them, I completely support the spirit of both. I declare an interest as I was a Minister from June 2020 to December 2020 and was responsible for making some of the COVID regulations. I went in front of the…
Can the deputy First Minister confirm that the budget figure that she read out will not impact on the work that the Equality Commission does, particularly for vulnerable groups, on equality, inclusion and, indeed, respect?
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Institutional Reform following the UK Covid-19 Inquiry Findings”
Institutional Reform following the UK Covid-19 Inquiry Findings - Amendment 2 Leave out all after ‘to ransom;’ and insert: ‘and agrees to refer these issues to the Assembly and Executive Review Committee.’
Minister, thank you for that response. You talked about "all sectors" across the economy, so how are you working with groups in the Irish language sector, such as GaelChúrsaí, to help Gaeilgeoirí achieve good jobs? If you do not have a response now, maybe you can get back to me with an update.
Ms Ní Chuilín asked the Minister for the Economy, given that the Minister has put a real focus on creating good jobs in the economy, for an update on the number of good jobs that have been created this year to date.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the (i) current; and (ii) future, funding situation for the Duncairn Community Partnership, in North Belfast.
Protection of the European Convention on Human Rights That this Assembly values the rights enshrined within the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and its protections for citizens on this, the 75th anniversary of its creation; acknowledges that legal expressions of the Good Friday Agreement incorporate the…

I thank the Minister for his response. The question was about the publication of a strategy for the arts. Can he ensure that that publication happens? I am sure that he will appreciate the economic and health and well-being benefits that the arts sector contributes to the economy and, indeed, to all our lives.
I thank the First Minister for her statement. As she knows, and it is referenced in the statement, there is an unacceptable level of violence and abuse towards women and girls across this island and beyond, so the issue is relevant to the NSMC. Can the First Minister provide an assurance that ending violence against…
I want to challenge some of the narrative and, frankly, the mistruths that were spoken here regarding the Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA) and the Ulster Boxing Council. The IABA is reaffirming its alignment with the work of the Equality Commission and the importance placed by the association on the…
The clue is in the title: Assembly and Executive Reform Committee. That is about reform across the board. Irrespective of that, I still do not understand why the amendment cannot be supported. I genuinely cannot, because it includes what people in the SDLP and the Alliance Party have said at the Committee. Yet, when…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) the number of social work posts that are vacant in the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT); (ii) the areas of work for which these posts are vacant; (iii) the number of (a) child disability; and (b) adult disability, social work posts there are in BHSCT; and (iv)…
