To ask the Minister of Finance, pursuant to AQW 19329/22-27 and AQW 14034/22-27, and given that 873 candidates have been affected in the last two years, for her assessment of the current processes in relation to the pre-recorded interview stage for applicants.
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to AQW 20360/22-27, to detail the degree to which primary schools are oversubscribed following the Year 1 admissions process, for each school in West Tyrone in each of the last three years.
To ask the Minister for the Economy for his assessment of the Economic and Social Research Institute and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research report on Modelling Northern Ireland within the context of the all-island economy, which suggests GDP growth in Northern Ireland is to average 1.2 per cent per…
I thank the Minister. Earlier, he referenced music. He is good at blowing his own trumpet, but we do not quite agree with the tune. Minister, the problem has worsened on your watch. You gave a commitment to the House in May that you would tackle it, yet it has worsened. More and more people are struggling, and more…
Thank you, Minister. Do you agree with the Cliff Edge Coalition and me that the fact that the spend has increased from £1·4 million in 2020-21 to £3·4 million in 2023-24 shows a significant increase in the amount of need? What is your Department doing to tackle that issue and ensure that those needs are met?
Over the Christmas period, our emergency departments featured strongly on the news daily. Each of us was inundated over the Christmas period by messages from worried constituents whose loved ones, perhaps vulnerable family members, were sitting in overcrowded emergency departments. Some people waited for prolonged…
Mr McCrossan asked the Minister for Communities, in light of the fact that there is a housing crisis, which is well noted, and the fact that there are 21,000 empty homes across Northern Ireland, what he, as the Minister for housing, is doing to reduce the number of empty homes.

To ask the Minister of Education to detail why there are no schemes funded in the West Tyrone constituency though the Education Authority Local Project fund to support rural youth work.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any support that will be provided to the six council areas that did not get schemes funded through the Education Authority Local Project fund to support rural youth work, including Fermanagh and Omagh District Council.
To ask the Minister for the Economy for his assessment of the latest Ulster Bank Northern Ireland Growth Tracker report which shows that business activity has fallen for first time in just over a year.
I thank the Member for giving way. He raises a valid point. People in Fermanagh travel past the South West Acute Hospital (SWAH) and Omagh Hospital and have to go the whole way to Derry to get to an emergency department. That adds to huge pressure that could be taken away and spread over those other two hospitals.…
Minister, I hope that this plan, which the House has not yet seen, signals an end to the sticking plaster approach to special educational needs in Northern Ireland. The Minister is right to point out the cost of transformation, but the cost of doing nothing is much greater to our children, young people and families.…
