To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to detail the number of penalties issued to waste management licence holders in Northern Ireland in each of the last five years, broken down by (i) year; and (ii) constituency.

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to detail (i) the number of non-compliance reports specific to waste management licence holders in Northern Ireland made to the NIEA by someone external to the licence holder, in each of the last five years; and (ii) any subsequent action taken by the…

Thank you. Does the Member agree that the stop-go nature of politics here has impacted on the delivery of many of the strategies and that we can draw a direct line to some of the problems that we are facing today? Does she also agree that we need to see the Executive delivering on strategies and not just announcing…
Opposition to Racism That this Assembly condemns the criminal damage and targeting of businesses in recent days; rejects all forms of Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism; endorses the work of voluntary sector organisations combatting racism and supporting those impacted by it; recognises the work of the Police Service…
Whether it is from Downpatrick to Dunmore or Malin to Mizen, the island of Ireland boasts almost 33,000 square miles of natural beauty. It has a heritage and history of many thousands of years and a people known the world over for their humour, generosity and kindness. This shared home that we inhabit has words and…
I beg to move I welcome the opportunity to open the debate on cross-border healthcare. The SDLP tabled the motion with the public firmly in our minds. We are very much an ageing population, and I certainly feel that myself as the years go by. That being the case, our reliance on our health system will only increase…
As an MLA for Loughinisland, I add my voice to those of my colleagues in remembering those who were so grossly murdered that night 30 years ago and their families, who live with that tragedy every day. For the benefit of Members who have never been to Loughinisland, it is a small place: a rural village with a school,…
I pay tribute to the many people who work tirelessly to eradicate this disease from our community. Whilst Northern Ireland is known for many things — we have lots of natural landscapes and iconic structures that automatically make us think of home — there is one building that will not feature in any of the…
In the interests of clarity, will the Minister confirm that there is no rule or law preventing the calling of an independent inquiry now, and that that is a decision that the Minister is taking?
To ask the Minister of Health for his assessment of the Community Resuscitation Strategy 2014, including whether there have been any reviews and evaluations of the strategy’s outcomes.
Thank you, Mr Speaker, for my late addition to the list of Members to speak. I appreciate being called. I welcome the amendment that my colleagues tabled. I want to speak for the many people whose homes are in danger owing to circumstances beyond their control. Last week, during the Second Stage debate, I referenced…
Whilst I appreciate that it is not the Minister's fault, when we met officials after the floods, we were told that the report would be available by June of this year, which might have allowed some work to take place over the summer and, therefore, ease business owners' concerns that the floods might happen again in…
I rise as a Member from the Opposition to do what the Opposition do: provide scrutiny of the legislation and statements that are presented to the House. That is what the Opposition do here. I am pretty sure that it is what the Opposition do 100 miles down the road. That is our task. I certainly will not be taken to…
I thank the Minister. There are new modifying therapies awaiting approval, and some of them are very beneficial to those with an early stage of Alzheimer's, but not other forms. Therefore, having that data and understanding that data is critical to early intervention, which will help people to live with the condition…
The best involvement that children can have with social services is no involvement because it is not required. When we asked Professor Jones that question last week, he cited things such as the two-child benefit cap and the lack of a poverty strategy as contributors to the conditions that mean that children will…
Given that Peace moneys can often be delivered to the community and voluntary sector in the absence of funds from the Executive, is the Minister aware of any additional emphasis being placed on mental health? Groups across my constituency are struggling for funds and absolutely need additional moneys to do their work.…
Mr McGrath asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to publish data on the number of people in each trust area who are living with the various types of dementia.
To ask the Minister of Justice to provide an update on whether an independent inquiry is required into allegations of the surveillance of journalists by the PSNI.
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline how much funding his Department will allocate to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for the Irish Open 2024 in Newcastle.
I thank the Member for his intervention. He has been very strong in being unhappy with this. His colleagues can know that that was done. I was not there at the start of the process, because it goes back and predates my being involved, certainly on the Commission. There was an intention that it would see certain levels…
