Mr David Brooks: Assembly records
All of Mr David Brooks’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I welcome the opportunity to speak in the debate. We have heard similar speeches by and large, which reflects our experiences with the people we work with through our constituency offices. Whilst there might be nuanced views about approach, I think that we all want to see better outcomes for our constituents. On that…
Committee Membership That Mr Peter Martin replace Mr Gary Middleton as a member of the Committee for Education; that Mr Keith Buchanan and Mr Trevor Clarke replace Mr Harry Harvey and Mr Brian Kingston as members of the Committee on Standards and Privileges; and that Mr Gareth Wilson be appointed as a member of the…
I thank the Minister for his answer and for his work to bring equality to our controlled schools. It was interesting to hear the testimony of the Catholic maintained sector. However, the work has brought from some Members an effort to find reasons not to support equality for our controlled schools. What evidence does…
One of the hallmarks of the previous fleadh in Londonderry was the cross-community element. Can the Minister detail how the fleadh will embrace Ulster-British traditions?
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (i) to detail any assessment he has made of the current capacity of Shared Environmental Services (SES) to process planning consultations within statutory timeframes; and (ii) whether he has any plans to increase staffing levels or resources within SES…
To ask the Minister of Health to outline the steps his Department is taking to reduce delays in allocating disability social workers to families with disabled children.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 39643/22-27, as her Department does not track the methods used by contractors to fill potholes, how it monitors the quality and cost effectiveness of methods used for patching in each case.
The Chair of the Committee seems to be getting himself very exercised this afternoon. That Committee is refusing to give the Minister its support for his ambitions on social housing. Will the Minister do everything that he can to ensure that the necessary budget for social housing, which all parties agreed to, will be…
I welcome the Minister's work on the issue and his leadership in going out to Washington in March. It was great to hear Secretary of State Rubio mention the connection with the Scotch Irish or Ulster Scots in a speech last week. That speaks to the influence of some of the work that has been done. Does the Minister…
Mr Brooks asked the Minister for Communities, given that Committees have a duty to scrutinise the work of Ministers and to support them in the delivery of their remit, what assessment he has made of the role of the Communities Committee.
I think that the public will find it equally as inconceivable that the Minister did not receive anything from her Department previously as they did when the First Minister said that she did not see Michael McMonagle in the Great Hall. I will reiterate my colleague's question: did your office manager, Councillor…
Does the Minister believe that children can give informed consent to drugs that were removed from routine clinical use because of serious questions about their impact on brain development, bone density, fertility and mental health?
Thank you. I would welcome the Minister's engagement with Ulster Rugby, the Housing Executive and the other agencies involved. I appreciate his answer. Does he have more information on schemes that are available to replace trees that have fallen during the recent storms?
Mr Brooks asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, after mentioning that he is part of a cross-party group of elected representatives for the Cregagh area that has been engaging with Ulster Rugby and residents of the Cregagh estate about parking issues on match days, seeing him smiling and…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any services available for adolescents or young people whose parent or close family member is receiving cancer care, such as counselling, peer support groups, or school-based resources.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any formal support structures that are in place to assist families during cancer treatment, including how families are made aware of these services.
To ask the Minister for Communities, in respect of the potential impact of the Irish Football Association's restructuring of intermediate football, and in advance of the grassroots element of the Northern Ireland Football Fund, whether he has any commitment from the Irish Football Association regarding the consistency…
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any engagement has he had with the Irish Football Association regarding their reform of intermediate football, in the last 12 months.
I will start by saying that I welcome the motion and thank the proposer for bringing it to the Floor. We are likely to prefer the motion over the amendment, but, regardless of that, there will be an awful lot of commonality around what we are speaking to. Everyone wants to push in the same direction. We all wish to…
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Will you make a ruling on whether the Member who has just spoken was in order when he directly accused a Member of being racist towards those with "black and brown faces"?
