All of Mr Danny Donnelly’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the SDLP Members for tabling this motion as one of the Opposition day debates. It is good that two important health motions have come before the Assembly this week that recognise the many challenges our health service faces. We will support the motion. It is unacceptable that we have the longest waiting lists…
I rise to congratulate the No Gas Caverns campaign in Islandmagee on its legal victory yesterday at the Court of Appeal. The campaign has been working for many years to oppose having seven skyscraper-sized caverns constructed under Larne lough to store natural gas. It would have created a dead zone in the sea off the…
I welcome today's debate, and I thank the Sinn Féin Members for tabling the motion and the DUP Members for tabling the amendment. We will support both. In Northern Ireland, almost 10,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year, which is over 20 people every day. With our growing and ageing population, more of us…
Mr Donnelly asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, in light of thousands of fish being killed in recent weeks in rivers across Northern Ireland, for an update on the fish kill in the River Roe just a few days ago.

To ask the Minister of Health, given the savings that some Health and Social Care Trusts have made from the Travel Contribution Scheme pilot, whether he will now make the scheme central to the savings plans of those Health and Social Care Trusts that require it.
To ask the Minister of Health whether he will work with universities, Health and Social Care Trusts and the MInister for the Economy to secure an increase in the level of support provided to medical students through the Travel Contribution Scheme.
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am happy to have the opportunity to contribute to the Adjournment debate. I thank my constituency colleague Cheryl Brownlee for securing the debate. There is no shortage of options for tourists who visit East Antrim. Some are well known and renowned. For example, Carrickfergus Castle,…
I congratulate Carnlough Controlled Integrated Primary School, which, last Friday, was awarded the excellence in integrated education award (EIEA). That small rural school on the east Antrim coast transformed to integrated status in 2001, the first to do so in the millennium. Since then, for more than 20 years, it has…
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether Islandmagee Energy Limited has submitted a Facility Development Plan for the gas storage facility at Islandmagee, referred to in condition 2.8 of the Gas Storage Licence.
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether the Utility Regulator has extended the period for commencement of the carrying on of Islandmagee Energy's Licenced Business.
To ask the Minister for the Economy, pursuant to AQW 12118/22-27, whether Islandmagee Energy Limited has submitted financial information each year since it has held the licence in accordance with Condition 1.2.
The Minister mentioned his commitment to the Bengoa report. We all know that, were it not for the repeated shutdowns of this place, we would be eight years into a 10-year programme of reform of the health service. Will the Minister outline his priorities for transformation over the remainder of the mandate?
I wish to highlight Volunteers Week, a week when we celebrate the people who generously give their time and energy to doing things to support others across Northern Ireland. Those people are deserving of our gratitude and recognition. Denise Hayward, CEO of Volunteer Now, said: "Volunteers are the humble heroes of our…

To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 11434/22-27, (i) how long it is anticipated before a long-term solution is in place; and (ii) to outline the relevant details for such a solution.
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 11434/22-27, to detail any contingency plans in place (i) to maintain the supply of Risdiplam; and (ii) to support people who otherwise would have been starting Risdiplam.
I thank the Minister for his statement. It is good to hear about his priorities for the rest of his tenure. We all want better outcomes, but everyone in the House knows that many serious issues require urgent attention. I welcome the Minister's comments, particularly about avoiding the two-tier health system in…
