Mr David Honeyford: Assembly records
All of Mr David Honeyford’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Will the First Minister outline how her office will ensure that the work on identity and culture will not just be symbolic but will genuinely support our young people, sports clubs and community groups across all traditions to build relationships and share understanding? How will progress be measured and reported to…
On Friday night, I had the absolute privilege of joining St Patrick's GAC in Lisburn as it celebrated its 60th anniversary. Listening to its story of the sectarian abuse that the club and its members have faced over the years was deeply moving. At the end of the 1990s, members were unable even to step on to their own…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether provisions will be put in place to ensure the Just Transition Commission will act in the interests of sectors such as agriculture and fisheries as we decarbonise our economy.
Minister, you said that you will not reform the surrender principle. Maybe this is the question to ask: has your Department made any attempt to estimate the cost, or are outside bodies telling you the cost?
Thank you, Minister. The costs are high, and the Public Accounts Committee recently did a report on that. The neglect over the years has been phenomenal. The Minister will be well aware that Fort Hill was promised a new school building for more than a decade, and, at his direction, that Fresh Start funding was removed…
I thank the Minister. It is good to see a progressive rating system being brought in. We have called for that for some time, particularly for small businesses; we want to see the regeneration of our town centres. Minister, you said that the changes are cost-neutral to the Department, but you also talked about an…
Mr Honeyford asked the Minister of Education, having noted that, less than a year ago, the Member was in Fort Hill Integrated College in their constituency, senior Education Authority (EA) officials have since been out and the Minister has visited the school, whether, following the recent inspection from the Education…
The question is whether you agree that the value of those projects should be increased in line with inflation. As Minister, will you argue on the Executive that those two figures are increased to the value of what they were in 2011?
A lot of sports clubs here will not be ready for this round of funding. In the next financial year, will it reopen, and, if so, is the budget likely to increase?
I am feeling really special today about the call-outs and the constructive debates that we are having, yet we spend all of the time focused on ourselves. I repeat what I said in Committee: I was not the one who brought this situation about. I did not want any barriers to trade. I will continue to look at how we can…
Mr Honeyford asked the Minister for Communities whether the Casement Park and Northern Ireland Football Fund allocations, which were set in 2011, should increase in line with inflation and the rise in construction costs given that their value has been significantly eroded.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the work programme of the Office of Identity and Cultural Expression, including any initiatives planned to promote cultural understanding and inclusion over the next 12 months.
I am really delighted to speak on the issue today. I thank my colleague and friend Robbie from Lagan Valley for securing the Adjournment debate. I also thank the Minister for being with us to listen. Parking might seem like a small issue on the surface, but, in Lisburn, it is tied to the life of our city centre, how…
I thank the Minister for moving the LCM. On behalf of the Alliance Party, I am pleased to support it. It is about three things: decarbonising aviation; backing innovation and creating jobs and skills; and making sure that this region is not left on the sidelines while the rest of these islands move ahead. The…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail any consideration given to the allocation of funds from the Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland to the (i) redevelopment of Casement Park; and (ii) the Northern Ireland Football Fund.
Progress on Casement is now critical. Every week of delay risks losing a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We also have the potential to host the Women's World Cup in 2035 and the cricket T20 World Cup in 2030, and the football fund still has a £50 million shortfall. Sport urgently needs strategic direction and…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 10479/22-27 and AQW 18185/22-27, whether (i) the vesting process for the land required for the construction of the B101 North Lisburn Feeder Road at Thaxton, Lisburn, has been completed, given that the original estimated timeframe of up to one year has now…
On the all-island rail review, the feasibility study on the Knockmore line was due to be published, but it has not been. Can the Minister confirm when that will happen and state why it has been delayed?
On behalf of the Alliance Party, I warmly congratulate Catherine Connolly on her election as president and wish her every success as she begins a new chapter in our shared history. President-elect Connolly has long been a voice for inclusion and compassion, which are qualities that will serve her well in her role of…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the rational for having no provision for a therapy dog, in the Lisburn Local IMPACT Team, as part of the Special Educational Needs Transformation Programme.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) why there has been a further delay in the publishing of the feasibility study for the reopening of the Knockmore Line; and (ii) when she expects the results of the study to be published.
Today's Audit Office report on energy strategy is a timely wake-up call for us all and sets it out in stark terms that, while the ambition is really strong, we are failing to deliver. Today's report highlights what I have been calling for and what Alliance has been consistently raising, which is that progress towards…
I will just speak on energy security, the line taken by the DUP and what has been said in the Chamber. The line on energy security is fair. We all want a reliable, resilient energy system. However, the amendment veers right off the road when it tries to insinuate that renewables are actually the cause of the risk.…
