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.
I thank the Minister for his statement. Can the Minister provide an assessment of how easy it is for groups, particularly smaller community groups, to access the current PEACE PLUS funding?
I welcome the Minister's coming to the Chamber. Hopefully, we will now see the 'good jobs' Bill move forward in order to protect workers and to provide a better business environment in Northern Ireland. I appreciate that the Minister listened to the issues that we raised, and I am pleased to see some movement in that…
Thank you, Minister, for your response. PRM, in my constituency, has seen significant growth in its business through dual market access. It has just completed a planning application to help it realise that. That took three years. That company is embedded in my community. Other people will not wait around for three…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail (i) any engagement they had during the 2024-25 financial year in relation to the potential development of the Maze Long Kesh site; and (ii) a timescale for any development.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) any engagement his Department has had with the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT) following its decision to cancel its summer schemes in Lisburn and Downpatrick; and (ii) any financial support his Department can offer to the SEHSCT to enable these summer…
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any budget Sport NI has in place for the hosting of training camps for Northern Ireland athletes prior to next year's Commonwealth Games.
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Reducing Barriers to all-Ireland Student Mobility”
Reducing Barriers to all-Ireland Student Mobility - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘2025/26 academic year’ and insert: ‘recognises that there remain ongoing disparities in admissions that create unfair obstacles for students here seeking to access higher education institutions across the island of Ireland; notes the…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “NI Water Funding and Governance”
NI Water Funding and Governance - Amendment 1 After ‘network;’ insert: ‘notes that chronic underinvestment in our wastewater infrastructure is a major driver of waterway pollution and biodiversity loss, as well as blocking housebuilding and stifling economic growth; is concerned that NI Water’s current funding model…
Once one person is there, nobody else can access it. Nobody else could access that facility because there was one person in it. That closed the whole place. That is the issue. That should not happen.
My first proper job before I was self-employed was working in the Lisburn assessment and resource centre (LARC) in Seymour Hill garden centre, which provides job opportunities for adults with learning difficulties. They are days that I remember really fondly. Roll on to 2022, after the election, when I sat in Hilden…
There is not much positivity to shout about in our economy and at a time of great uncertainty on the world stage, but I want to start with a few positives for local people by welcoming the increases for the lowest paid in our society and the benefit to our local economy with the rises in the national minimum wage and…
Impact of US Trade Tariffs on Northern Ireland’s Economy That this Assembly expresses grave concern about the impact of US import tariffs on Northern Ireland’s economy; agrees that there are no winners in global trade wars and that the imposition of tariffs will put trade, businesses and jobs in Northern Ireland at…
Research and development, innovation and skills development are vital if we are to grow our economy and deliver a more productive, globally competitive economy. The Minister mentioned additional funding for skills, which is really welcome. How will the Budget support research and innovation across Departments,…
It is DUP/TUV bingo today. We get the usual lines trumpeted out just because it is a Trump tariff. They talk about Northern Ireland first, yet all we have heard about today is the priority of American companies and the tax that they will pay coming into the EU, not realising — I am not sure what has clicked — that we…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline whether she has any plans to revise planning laws to enable investment to take account of any of Northern Ireland's trading advantages.
To ask the Minister of Justice to outline how the Northern Ireland Prison Service is managing the high prison population, including prisoners with complex needs.
The super-rich are those on a lot of money. Look at farmers. Farmers are being persecuted by the Government because the likes of Dyson and Jeremy Clarkson are buying up land. Those guys are taking advantage of the ordinary person on the ground. That is what I am talking about: the ordinary person on the ground is…
It is morally wrong to raid our most vulnerable to plug a government spending gap while the super-rich continue to get richer. Something is seriously wrong in our society when the disposable income — the amount that is left to spend at the end of the week — of working people, be they nurses, health workers, teachers…
Given that we are only 2·8% of the UK population — smaller than some regional cities that have been targeted by the Government — and have access to EU and GB markets, has the whole of Northern Ireland been included in the enhanced investment zone?
