Mr Danny Baker: Assembly records
All of Mr Danny Baker’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Cancellation of Summer Schemes in Special Schools That this Assembly expresses grave concern that the Education Authority has announced the cancellation of summer schemes in special schools in 2026 due to concerns about healthcare provision for participating children; recognises that these schemes provide a lifeline…
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to his Written Ministerial Statement on 27 March 2026, whether he has been accused of bullying by (i) a civil servant within his Department; and (ii) a civil servant who previously worked in his Department.
I thank the Minister for her answer. While a reduction in electricity bills is welcome, we know that much more is needed. The misinformation that was peddled by many in the Chamber was not helpful. Will the Minister provide further detail on the efforts that are being made to get the British Government to provide more…
To reassure parents, pupils and staff across our education system, can the Minister categorically confirm that he has never been subject to any investigation, formal or informal, in relation to allegations of bullying within his Department?
Mr Baker asked the Minister of Education, after stating that he completely agreed with the Minister's response to an earlier question when he said that we ought to do all that we can to address bullying, to confirm, given his position of leadership, whether he has ever been accused of bullying within his Department.
To ask the Minister for the Economy for an update on her discussions with the British Government in relation to support for households and businesses impacted by the energy crisis.
Will the Minister accept that the holistic approach that he is talking about does not exist and that, with some of the specialist provision that we have, there could be children from P1 in a classroom with children from P6 and P7? Surely that is not fair and is not the right place for all those children.
I will start by addressing the Member facing me, who said that children need just to be placed: that is the problem. The EA is playing with numbers. That is what it does. Children with additional needs are last in line and are placed in the wrong setting. Those who are there to support them and get them on the…
I beg to introduce the Education (Holiday Meal Payments) Bill [NIA 27/22-27], which is a Bill to make provision for direct payments to be made during school holidays to pupils entitled to receive free school meals; and for connected purposes.
Minister, I do not think that you are listening to young people at all. I could ask so many questions, but I will ask about AS levels. You intend to scrap the AS level as a stand-alone qualification. What discussions have you had with the universities in Ireland about the loss of that externally recognised year-13…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. You will all be glad to hear that I will not take 10 minutes. It has been a good debate. Most people agreed that we need to remove barriers and make opportunities seamless, but work is very much needed. I could talk all day and not convince the TUV of the benefits of…
Following that, Minister, will you reconsider what you said in the media two weeks ago, which was that you would not have time to legislate on Caleb's cause? Caoimhe Archibald has done what she can do with her piece of the puzzle in creating post-19 pathways. It is now time for the Department of Health to step up. Now…
You are talking about constrained budgets. Let us take the example of the Education Minister. Do you agree that spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on a mobile phone gimmick is not a good use of public money?
Go raibh maith agat for that answer, Minister. Our ties with the US go beyond the current Administration: will you provide a wee bit more detail on your planned visit to the US in the coming weeks?
Should the GAA and West Belfast not be ambitious and want to have the very best delivered for Casement Park and West Belfast? We could have had the Euros. We could have had something magnificent that would have brought so many people to this wee part of the world, but we fell short of that. You sound almost like…
