Mr Colm Gildernew: Assembly records
All of Mr Colm Gildernew’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Health to outline any action he is taking to reduce the waiting time for urgent diagnostic tests for patients with suspected cancer.
Minister, everyone deserves access to safe and secure housing. Over the past week, we have seen the opposite, with families being intimidated and burnt out of their homes. Larne leisure centre was targeted last year after your reckless Facebook comments, and that was a failure of leadership — — by you. Has that…
Minister, the odorant is in the form of a gas. That company is charged with managing gas safely. What reassurance can you give the community of Granville and Eskra that the facility is managing highly dangerous gas safely?
I raise the issue of the racially motivated riots that we have seen in the past week since we stood here last Tuesday. Communities have been convulsed in an orgy of racist violence. We saw mobs roaming the streets, attacking people simply on the basis of the colour of their skin and making people homeless in the midst…
Racially Motivated Attacks on Homes To ask the Minister for Communities to outline the support he is providing to vulnerable families from minority ethnic communities that have been forced to flee their homes for safety as a result of racially motivated violence.

Mar a dúirt cúpla Comhalta, seo í Seachtain na gCúramóirí, seachtain a dtugtar deis dúinn lena linn ár machnamh a dhéanamh ar obair na gcúramóirí, bíodh sin mar ghairm bheatha nó mar dhualgas morálta do bhall teaghlaigh, do chara nó do chomharsa. De réir dhaonáireamh 2021, tugann níos mó ná 220,000 duine cúram…
Will the Minister outline what risks arise from Departments operating within contingency planning envelopes rather than an agreed Budget and how those risks are being managed?
I have already made remarks linked to the issue in my Member's statement. First and foremost, I send my sympathy and thoughts to the victim of the attack and his family. Rightly, we discuss the issue, sometimes in abstract terms, but it will feel like a personal and frightening attack on them. A man is here trying to…
In recent weeks, we have seen once again the appearance of racist imagery in the Moygashel area of Dungannon. It was rightly removed by the PSNI, which also commenced a criminal investigation of it. That banner has, disgracefully, been re-erected with the clear intention of sowing division, hatred, prejudice and fear…
Geo-blocking of RTÉ That this Assembly expresses concern at the continued geo-blocking of Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) content for audiences here; recognises the frustration caused to viewers who are denied equal access to public service broadcasting, cultural programming and major sporting events; notes the growing…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for an update on the NIEA investigation into a suspected gas leak in the Granville and Eglish area on 8 May 2026.
I thank the Minister for his answer. I look forward to receiving the information. Given that the Oakridge Social Education Centre in Dungannon has been identified as a priority for a new build for over 20 years, will the Minister tell me when families can expect to see progress on that long-standing commitment? Will…
Once again, I raise the issue of the odours affecting communities across south Tyrone. It is deeply frustrating to see continual repetitions of such issues. Two individual communities are particularly impacted on by them: I think of communities in the Killeeshil and Cabragh areas and, separately, the Granville and…
Mr Gildernew asked the Minister of Health to outline the current level of provision for post-19 adults with complex needs in the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, including access to respite services and day-centre care, and whether there are any plans to invest in and expand those services.
I thank the Minister for his statement. Water quality is critical to the health of our environment and the success of our aquaculture sector. Minister, what discussions were there at the North/South Ministerial Council meeting on water quality in our loughs and waterways, including the Brantry lough in my…
Last week, the Department for Communities released new statistics showing that, for the first time, there are over 50,000 households on the social housing waiting list. The statistics also show that there are now over 39,000 households in housing stress and that over 33,000 have homelessness status, which is a rise of…
Social Housing Waiting Lists To ask the Minister for Communities to explain what he is doing to address the crisis in housing given figures released by his Department last which show the social housing waiting list has exceeded 50,000.
I regularly challenge the term "economic inactivity", because it is often actually economic disadvantage or, potentially, discrimination. People are disadvantaged as a result of living in rural communities with limited access to transport or because of disability, and women are often carers. Minister, do you agree…
