All of Mr Colm Gildernew’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank everyone for their contributions to the debate. From the outset, I set out the fact that my thoughts and feelings are with all those, including clubmates and family friends of mine, who have lost loved ones on that road over so many years and at a very young age.…
I thank the Minister for that explanation and his reference to having taken steps to ensure that no further such occurrence might take place. The Minister has answered that part of the question. What communication have his officials had with people whose data was leaked, in order to reassure them?
I note the closure last Friday of the consultation period on the anti-poverty strategy. Poverty levels continue to rise, and poverty continues to be a real problem here. We are still addressing a lot of cost-of-living issues; we are coming off the back of many long years of Tory austerity; and we are still dealing…

Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank the Members who tabled the motion on such an important issue. In June this year, racist intimidation took place on the streets of Ballymena, Larne and other places in some of the worst racially motivated riots that the North has ever seen. In the months since,…
To be very brief, what Sinn Féin is asking for is the space for a mature and constructive conversation about the best way forward. It is as simple as that.
I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. A chairde, every summer, the issue of offensive and dangerous bonfires rears its head, and, this year, was, unfortunately, no different. From the outset, it is important to say that I recognise the importance of bonfires to unionist culture. The motion should…
I apologise to the Minister for having missed the start of his statement, but I was listening with interest as I made my way here, given the subject of it. This is a capital announcement and, by coincidence, in the past two weeks, I have spoken to two schools in my constituency, both of which have approached the…
Beidh mé ag labhairt as Gaeilge ar dtús. Ar an drochuair, is gá dom aird a tharraingt arís ar chur chuige do-ghlactha an Aire Pobal i dtaca leis an Ghaeilge.

Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh gach duine anseo anocht. It is great to see the strength of feeling in the people of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, as is reflected in the attendance of so many people who have travelled so far to be here. I would also like to join my colleagues in wishing Deborah, her husband and her…
Once again, regrettably, I rise to address the issue of the ongoing vandalism and destruction of dual language road signs in south Tyrone, with the Irish language being targeted. It is disappointing that it continues to be the case. It is a clear attack on our culture. For many years, activists have campaigned to…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I was here yesterday when you made your remarks about announcing significant issues on the Floor of the Assembly. Following yesterday's sitting, it became clear that it was being reported that, in the Great Hall, the DUP leader indicated that the Minister for Communities will make "a…
