  3. Debate contribution: Review of Environmental Governance in Northern Ireland

    • Ministerial Statement

    I welcome the Minister's statement, particularly around the issues of scrutiny, accountability and public confidence, given the matters that he and I have previously discussed in my constituency.

  4. Debate contribution: Health and Social Care: Private Sector

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister. I share that concern overall. It is important. It is clear that more needs to be done to attract the required consultants to come and work here across the North, including the Western Trust area. What more can you do or are you doing to attract the required consultants to work in the public…

  7. Debate contribution: October Monitoring Round 2024-25

    • Ministerial Statements

    I thank the Minister for her statement and welcome the significant investment in housing, as well as the £17 million for winter warmth to address or partly mitigate the British Government's disgraceful cut in that benefit and the money for tackling rural poverty and social isolation. Those are welcome. Can the…

  8. Debate contribution: Public Petition: Parking Restrictions: Dungannon

    • Assembly Business

    The petition is from traders in Dungannon. It contains 130 signatures, which is a large sample from what is quite a small cohort. The Dungannon traders are raising the issue of the one-hour parking restriction in Dungannon town centre. They make the case, correctly so, that that is very restrictive to people who want…

  9. Member's statement: Creative Industries

    • Members' Statements

    This afternoon, I raise the issue of the arts sector here. Last week, Equity, the actors' union, addressed a number of MLAs in room 115. What was clear from the testimony of those artists and actors and the people who work with them was the lack of support that they receive and how difficult it is to be a full-time…

  10. Debate contribution: High Street and Town Centre Rejuvenation

    • Private Members' Business

    I start by thanking Members for tabling the motion and, indeed, the amendments, which deal with specific elements of town centres. The important role that our high streets play in our society cannot be overstated. They are the very heart and soul of our communities, and they act as a focal point for much of the…

  11. Debate contribution: Air Quality Improvements

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I have engaged with the Minister on significant issues in my constituency in the Granville and Killeeshil areas. There was a recent serious issue, once again, in Granville after hours, during which time no residents nor I could get any contact or communication about what was happening. What additional resource did the…

  12. Debate contribution: Public Expenditure: Outcome of Chancellor's Statement

    • Ministerial Statement

    I thank the Minister for the statement and acknowledge the significant work on the fiscal framework, albeit with the caveats that she outlined because of 14 years of austerity. I particularly welcome the un-pausing of the growth deals, given their impact in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, Mid Ulster, Armagh, Banbridge and…

  13. Member's statement: Dual Language Signage: Vandalism

    • Members' Statements

    I would like to raise the ongoing campaign of vandalism on dual language signage in south Tyrone. That vandalism has taken place over a number of years across the area. Dual language signs have been attacked in Fivemiletown, Benburb, Eglish, Caledon, the Brantry, Castlecaulfield and Killeeshil. In recent weeks, there…

  14. Member's statement: Community and Voluntary Search and Rescue Organisations

    • Members' Statements

    This morning, I will draw attention to some of the fantastic community and voluntary search and rescue organisations that we have across the North. I think particularly of the K9 Search and Rescue service, which is based in County Down. In April, many of us met members of the service in the Long Gallery. In my…

    Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank all Members who contributed to this afternoon's debate on a hugely important issue. The debate covered very many of the issues that I have heard as an MLA and, previously, as a carers' spokesperson over the years. We support both amendments, and I thank the parties…

  16. Member's statement: Tavia Da Costa

    • Members' Statements

    Unfortunately, I rise to address an issue that touches on the one raised by Emma Sheerin: the absolutely unacceptable nature of violence against women and girls in our society. Yesterday, I attended the funeral of baby Tavia Michella Ximenes Da Costa. I want Members to know that the East Timor community is a huge…
