  1. Debate contribution: NI Water: Funding and Governance

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Whilst I can hear in the answer that the Minister agrees that something needs to be done, can we get any sense of a timescale for when it will happen? The problems are mounting up, and people are suffering as a result. All that we seem to hear is, "We need extra funding, but we're not going to generate any extra…

  2. Debate contribution: Health and Social Care: Three-year Plan

    • Ministerial Statements

    We have a three-year plan that is packed with statements such as, "opportunities to reform", "I am committed to", "There is more I can do", "I will publish", "I will review", "I want to see" and all of it subject to funding that is yet to be allocated. Does the Minister agree that we need a concrete, tangible, fully…

  3. Debate contribution: British-Irish Council: Planning and Places

    • Ministerial Statements

    Given the conversations about flooding, did the Minister pick up any tips about any speedy interventions that could be made? We are one year down the road from the flooding in Downpatrick, with little to no evidence of any interventions that could help to prevent a recurrence of flooding. Local residents and…

  4. Member's statement: Dramability: Christmas Show

    • Members' Statements

    I rise to congratulate the Downpatrick Dramability group, which is a mixed-ability group that puts on various performances throughout the year and has a pantomime at Christmastime, which I attended on Saturday past. MLAs get the opportunity to do lots of things during their tenure, but I wonder whether I can top it…

  5. Debate contribution: Nexus: 40th Anniversary

    • Private Members' Business

    That is a really important point to raise. I congratulate and thank Nexus for their work. However, I know that, for some constituent cases that I have been dealing with, the parents of children who have been abused feel that there are very limited support services for them. They have also gone through a very traumatic…

  6. Debate contribution: Ambulance Delays

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I acknowledge what the Minister has said. Does he believe that some of the 149 people were part of the 97,507 individuals who, while waiting for an ambulance to arrive, had to have the category of seriousness of their case upgraded because they had been waiting so long? What are we going to do to get our Ambulance…

  7. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    • Ministerial Statements

    Santa-like or not regarding the delivery of those houses, the proof of the Christmas pudding will be in the eating. At a meeting last week of the all-party group on youth participation, the issue of young people not being included in the design of homes and social housing projects was raised. Houses are built, and…

  8. Debate contribution: Roadworks: South Down

    • Adjournment

    I thank my constituency colleague for securing this important Adjournment debate. I reflect that, as a party health spokesperson, after about six or seven weeks of Adjournment debates on health matters, I spoke to the Whips and implored them to move on to different subjects. We have now had about five weeks of South…

  9. Debate contribution: Education Service: Remit

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for his supplementary question. As I understand, there are no plans currently for any North/South work on the education programmes, but I am sure that we can write back to the Member if there is anything on the agenda that might be able to be approved by the Commission.

  10. Debate contribution: Education Service: Remit

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for his question. The Assembly Commission's Education Service has been very successful in encouraging participation by young people in democracy education. Since September 2023, 7,000 pupils have visited Parliament Buildings and a further 1,500 joined one of our online sessions. Those pupils came…

  11. Debate contribution: Parliament Buildings: Roof Repair

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Member for his supplementary question. Estimated costs of £2·4 million for the remedial works have been provided by experts employed by the Assembly Commission. Accurate costs and timescales for the proposed works will be provided when the works are tendered for. The work is to fix previous problems, so…
