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.
I have nothing further to add, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle, other than to say that the Committee certainly recognises the complexity and significance of the issues that are involved. We will apply our scrutiny rigorously in that regard.
As Chair of the Committee for Communities, I seek the support of the House for the motion to extend the Committee Stage of the Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill until 29 January 2027. The Committee recognises the public interest that the Bill has generated. As the Second Stage debate demonstrated, there are…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. It will not take anything like that amount of time, because this is a well-rehearsed issue. I thank the Minister and my constituency colleagues for coming along today, because, while it is well-rehearsed, it is a vexatious and long-running saga. As, I am sure, the Minister will know,…
Minister, following the unplanned collapse of emergency services at the South West Acute Hospital (SWAH) in Enniskillen, there were several inadequate — indeed, shambolic — consultations. So inadequate were they that your predecessor had to pause the move, and finally it was withdrawn. What steps will you take to…
I thank the Minister for the statement. Minister, I acknowledge your work and the work of the Enough is Enough campaign. Today's decision will be a huge relief to all our communities, including those in Fermanagh and South Tyrone and right along that corridor. None of us who live along that stretch of road has not…
I am delighted to speak in the debate, because, if we are serious about making difficult and lasting changes, we absolutely need a shared programme of reform that can survive beyond an individual Minister or electoral cycle. As a former Chair of the Health Committee, I had the privilege of meeting Professor Bengoa…
As I rise to speak in the debate, I am conscious that a critical issue for my constituency is being decided by the court. I am extremely hopeful that it will arrive at the decision on the A5 that my constituents need. The situation that we are discussing today caused huge concern and, indeed, distress in my…
Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. First, I thank Members for taking part in what has been a fairly extensive, interesting and good-natured debate. I accept everyone's bona fides in raising their concerns and engaging with the Bill, and I look forward to continuing to do that. I will touch briefly…
I have asked the Department and the Housing Executive repeatedly to advise on the additional cost. I have not heard that figure mentioned. I recognise what the Member said at the start of her remarks about the other measures, and I fully agree that those are needed. They remain needed and should have been introduced…
Go raibh maith agat. I thank the Minister for his update to that effect. Recently, the Minister announced a long-overdue, full-scale review of current homelessness legislation to include the examination of a statutory duty to prevent homelessness as exists in England, Scotland and Wales. I have always said that a more…
I beg to move Go raibh maith agat. There is no denying the fact that the North is experiencing a chronic housing and homelessness crisis. We know that because the publicly available data released by the Department for Communities tells us as much. New figures released in the past number of weeks show that the number…
I thank the Minister for the statement. Minister, you highlighted the importance of family support to reducing inequality. Given your Department's responsibility for the anti-poverty strategy, will you tell us how the learning from the summit may factor into measures that will be brought forward in the anti-poverty…
I thank the Minister for his answer. He touched on my supplementary question. Can he outline how the funding compares with that of Scotland and Wales and the impact on public services here?
A chairde , over the summer period and, indeed, over previous summers, we saw the erection of emblems of a racist, sectarian and hate-filled, criminal nature in Moygashel in my constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone. We have also seen the targeting of Killyman GAA club, with a threatening and sinister poster…
Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-LeasCheann Comhairle. As Chair of the Committee for Communities, I seek the support of the House for the motion to extend the Committee Stage of the Charities (Amendment) Bill until 11 December 2026. The Bill was introduced on 15 June and completed its Second Stage on 23 June, when it…
Minister, will the committee have an absolute right to obtain all the relevant departmental and trust information, including workforce data, risk assessments, financial assumptions and alternative options? Will that evidence be published alongside the conclusions?
Minister, you mentioned Fivemiletown and the impact of that operation in my constituency. When it comes to the independent review that you mentioned, will you ensure that there will be full transparency and accountability and that you will publish the review's findings and recommendations in full, including any…
I beg to introduce the Housing (Amendment) Bill [NIA 43/22-27], which is a Bill to amend the definition of threatened with homelessness in the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1988.
