  2. Debate contribution: United States Semiquincentennial

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    When I was a Belfast city councillor, we were very proud of our links to our sister city, Nashville, Tennessee, which also happens to be the home of Andrew Jackson, to whom the Minister's constituency has strong links. Will the Minister therefore encourage our councils to get involved in that special celebration?

  3. Debate contribution: Illegal Waste Dumping

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, the question is borne out of the frustration of my constituents in Millmount, who routinely face fly-tipping in their area. Many of them, like me, point to the abject failure of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council to provide adequate recycling facilities to the significant population of Dundonald. You, as a…

  4. Debate contribution: Interface Disturbances

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Some of that approach to policing is undertaken by some very good neighbourhood policing teams. Among the frustrations fed back to me, and, I am sure, to you, by the community is that officer rotations happen all too frequently and, at times, when the trust that makes relationships possible has just been built. Is…

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr Brooks asked the Minister of Justice, given that, at times of community tension in east Belfast, particularly at interfaces, youth workers find themselves stepping in to fill the gaps where a consistent police presence is lacking — particularly if the police have been pulled to other parts of the city or have other…

  7. Debate contribution: Educational Underachievement: Budget Provision

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    At a recent Education Committee meeting, the expert panel on educational underachievement expressed concern that the allocation for 'A Fair Start' in 2024-25 amounted to £2·6 million or 6% of the £41·2 million that it had laid out in its action plan, despite it having cross-party support and being referenced in many…

  8. Member's statement: Defence Spending: First Minister's Comments

    • Members' Statements

    I will address the comments made by the First Minister in the Chamber yesterday about the investment set out in the Prime Minister's statement that will see £1·6 billion spent on defence for Ukraine, with 5,000 missiles to be manufactured in my constituency, which will result in the recruitment of 200 additional staff…

  9. Debate contribution: School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Today's discussion, as we can already see, will be one where, while we may have some differences around the nuances and details, there is broad support for the direction of travel. On that basis, I thank the Minister for introducing and advancing the Bill, and I welcome the fact that he has done so. Like other…

    I welcome the Prime Minister's resolute commitment to Ukraine, as demonstrated by the announcement of a £1·6 billion support package that includes the provision of over 5,000 air defence missiles that will be manufactured right here in East Belfast. That initiative not only reinforces our dedication to international…

  12. Debate contribution: Belfast Rapid Transit Phase 2 — BRT2 — Project

    • Ministerial Statement

    The Minister says that they have learned lessons from the original BRT scheme. How will she ensure that park-and-ride facilities have appropriate capacity so that parking does not become a scourge on communities, as it has in Dundonald and other parts of east Belfast?

  13. Debate contribution: Short-term Lets: East Belfast

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Will the Minister, perhaps through Tourism NI, look at the best international examples of regulation — I am thinking particularly of Amsterdam's 30-day cap, which seems to have worked well there — to see what we can learn to bring better enforcement regulation here?
