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.
OK. I did not hear any explanation other than its being difficult to buy a home. Minister, can you give a firm timeline for when the first of those homes will be purchased and brought into use?
Mr Gildernew asked the Minister for Communities, given that, in March last year, the Minister announced an initiative that would see the Housing Executive purchase 600 homes for use as temporary accommodation but we recently heard that not a single one of those homes has yet been purchased, to explain the reasons for…
Minister, given your stated aim of shifting left, and knowing what we know about the growing and ageing demographics, what, more fundamentally, is happening for the future to ensure that areas such as ours, particularly the rural parts of the constituency, have enough social care workers to deliver the packages that…
My colleagues from Fermanagh have largely dealt with a lot of the detail of the issue. I will touch a bit more on the general stuff, which is really critical. It is critical for the South West Acute Hospital, because it is not just the hinterland to its south that is excluded from playing a role but, given its…
I thank the Member for tabling this motion on Awaab's law. No doubt Members will be familiar with the tragic case of Awaab Ishak, a two-year-old boy who died in 2020 due to overexposure to toxic black mould which was present in his home. Awaab and his parents had been living in a flat in Rochdale that was owned and…
To ask the Minister for Communities whether Artificial Intelligence is currently being used by his Department, as a means of detecting welfare (i) fraud; and (ii) error.
Go raibh maith agat. Does the Minister agree that certain small schools in rural areas, due to their unique geography or circumstances in their community, have strategic importance beyond any other impact? Can the Minister commit to protecting schools in that situation?
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister why appointments to the board of the Victims and Survivors Service have not been made despite a public competition.
No. You will have 10 minutes to try to explain why Casement Park is the only stadium that is mentioned. I am not sure whether that will be enough for you, to be honest, but you will have those 10 minutes. Sinn Féin does not see this as a serious motion; rather, it is another attempt by the TUV to engage in a culture…
It should come as no surprise to Members that I oppose the motion. The proposer of the motion claims that it is about protecting the public purse, but it is obvious to me and to anyone watching that it is nothing of the sort. The motivation for the motion is to attack the GAA and anything to do with Irish culture. We…
Severe Weather Emergency Protocol To ask the Minister for Communities to outline why the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol was not activated last night, despite the freezing cold temperatures.
Does the Minister agree that we should have a much broader conversation about illegal displays, particularly the annual toxic, hate-filled and illegal bonfires that blight our communities?
I thank the First Minister for her answer. While the efforts of the Finance Minister in particular and his Executive colleagues to secure access to a £400 million reserve claim are certainly welcome, does the First Minister agree that access to the reserve claim is in itself a clear statement that British Government…
To ask the Minister of Education to outline any engagement he plans to have with small rural schools in relation to his Five-Year Education Budget Strategy.
I thank the proposer of the motion. We support it. I am sure that we all remember the disgraceful hate-filled violence that erupted in towns and villages across the North last year. Shamefully, in Ballymena, a number of homes were attacked, and families were forced to flee the area, eventually finding shelter and…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on their engagement with the British Government to secure a fair and adequate Executive budget.
Beidh Lá na Cainte ann an Déardaoin seo chugainn. Lá é a spreagann muid le dul chun comhrá faoinár meabhairshláinte. Cuidíonn comhrá carad. Tá an féinmharú agus an dúlagar ina ngéarchéim dhomhanda. Níl aon chúis amháin leo: is féidir leo teacht chun cinn mar gheall ar strus airgeadais, cliseadh teaghlaigh, an…
