All of Mrs Ciara Ferguson’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Many groups are frustrated by the fact that you have to have planning permission in place to qualify. Will the Minister clarify why that requirement was added?
Thank you, Mr Speaker. The motion goes to the very heart of the unique position of the North of Ireland as a region that remains in the EU single market and where over one third of our people retain European citizenship as Irish passport holders and where that birthright is enshrined through our peace agreement. The…
As a Foyle MLA, I note our much-cherished Foyle Hospice, which has been operating in the city for over 40 years. It relies on the fundraising and goodwill of the people for 60% of its funding, and it is a much-loved organisation. Do you agree that the funding model is totally out of date and that we should move…

When NI Alternatives and Community Restorative Justice Ireland presented to the Committee recently, it felt as though they were being pushed to the periphery of the Department of Justice's new system, despite being accredited since 2007. Whether it is from a community or criminal…
Today marks the beginning of Homelessness Awareness Week 2025, the theme of which is "See the Person". We are well aware of the recent research by the Simon Community that revealed that childhood trauma plays a powerful role in the levels of homelessness here. Some 66% of those who reside in hostel-based homeless…
Observer Status in the European Parliament That this Assembly recalls that the majority of people here voted to remain in the European Union; acknowledges that our long-term future would be best served by rejoining the European Union; recognises the democratic deficit as a result of Brexit; supports the request made…
Establishing an EU Office in Belfast That this Assembly notes the advantages dual market access affords to our businesses; further notes that the worst impacts of Brexit disruption have been mitigated by the Windsor Framework agreement; encourages the British Government and the European Union to work together to…
Thank you, First Minister. The letter also noted that, in the event of Irish unity, the North will automatically rejoin the EU. Does the First Minister believe that granting observer status would help us to better plan and prepare for the future?
