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.
I thank the Members who tabled the motion, which is very important. It was debated in recent months, and, during that time, our community and voluntary sector has been doing the heavy lifting. Great work is being done by Monkstown Boxing Club and the Lagmore Youth Project, for example. During the summer, I volunteered…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. A chairde, I want to open by thanking the many outstanding school teaching and non-teaching staff and our community and voluntary sector who strive daily to help children and young people reach their full potential despite the disadvantages that many pupils face. A wide…
I thank the Minister for her answer. What outreach work has taken place that is aimed at encouraging young people to join the Civil Service and at demonstrating the opportunities that are available?
Thank you for your answer, Minister. Nearly a third of young people under the age of 18 are currently homeless. Do the Minister and his Department consider the rights of children and young people when developing policy and solutions?
To ask the Minister of Education, in relation to Investing in a Better Future, to detail (i) the specific qualification types that are considered low-value by his Department; and (ii) the criteria used to determine their value.
I thank the Member who moved motion, which we support, and for articulating the barriers so well. Sinn Féin wants an education system underpinned by equality that delivers for all and leaves no child or young person behind. Deaf children and young people should perform just as well as their peers, and they should know…
Minister, in reference to your answer to the Chair, I think that it is very important that you come to the Education Committee as soon as possible to really delve into some of the issues in the statement. How do you intend to include young people with special educational needs, given that many educational settings are…

Failure of RAISE Programme in Tackling Educational Underachievement That this Assembly recognises that socio-economic background is the biggest predictor of educational underachievement; acknowledges that a range of targeted interventions across government are required to tackle the issue and give children and young…
Sinn Féin fully supports the target for net zero by 2050 for the entire island of Ireland and is therefore supportive of the Minister's plans for the vehicle emissions trading schemes as part of delivering a zero-carbon economy. Until now, there has been confusion within the industry around the issue, given that the…
Raising Awareness of the Dangers of Vaping Amongst Children That this Assembly recognises that the 2024 Northern Ireland Audit Office report on tackling the public health impacts of smoking and vaping, shows an increase in 11-16 year olds vaping; is concerned that children vaping in schools is detrimental to a child's…
I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. It is time to extend voting rights to 16- and 17-year-olds. Every day in the Chamber, we make decisions that affect the lives of children and young people, all without them having a direct role in playing their part in that change. Young people have been at the…
I thank the Minister for her statement. It is extremely important that we instill in our young people, in society and, particularly, in men and boys an understanding of what healthy, respectful relationships are. Does the Minister agree that that will be a key component in addressing violence against women and girls?
