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 qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I am not here to make DUP or Sinn Féin speeches. I am here to try to get better for ordinary people, and that is at the heart of what Sinéad is trying to do. You introduced a thought into my head about manufacturing. Central government in the South implemented a strategy to grow manufacturing. The outworking of that…
I agree with everything that you are saying. Ultimately, the "why" is the social justice issue here: we have people not getting opportunities because of where they are from. That is the fundamental difficulty. On the other side of it, there are things that are working in areas. It is not as if it is uniform and…
On behalf of the Alliance Party, I welcome the Bill and thank Sinéad for bringing it to the House. Phillip mentioned that the Committee went to Derry on one of our first trips, and, every time that I have been up there, it has been brilliant. Sinéad, I was reminded of you, Pádraig and Gary, before Julie's time here.…
I make it clear from the outset that I support the Bill and that Alliance will support it today. I will take my time, though, and walk my way through this, because we have been calling for this for some time, and I just wish that we had been here about two years ago rather than standing here today. Ultimately, the…
We also support the regulations and the final closure of the RHI scheme. It has been a long and extremely difficult chapter for the Department and for the Assembly. The damage caused to confidence in this place is not to be underestimated. I also thank the Minister for bringing this through to closure. I never thought…
I thank the Minister for his answer. Will the Minister give an update on his efforts to bring the lough's bed and soil into community or public ownership?

To ask the Minister for the Economy whether she has been made aware that the proposed increase of three per cent in salaries for further education lecturers falls short of the proposal to increase teachers’ salaries by four per cent, in similar roles, resulting in a greater divergence in salary levels, contrary to…
To ask the Minister for the Economy, further to evidence session by senior officials from Invest Northern Ireland at the Assembly’s Committee for the Economy on 1 July 2026, whether she will publish data highlighting the benefits of Northern Ireland being part of both the UK internal market and the EU’s single market…

To ask the Minister for Communities, pursuant to AQW 47990/22-27, to detail any representations he (i) has made; and (ii) intends to make, to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport following the UK Government's confirmation that it has no plans to extend the statutory levy on remote gambling operators to Northern…

Ten years ago, the UK voted to leave the EU, and Northern Ireland was removed from the EU against its will. People will have voted for many reasons, but people were lied to. They were lied to in that referendum, and, no matter what way people voted, everybody can agree that the decade that followed has been an…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, following the recent trial offering an additional free hour of on-street parking at locations in Lisburn and Newry, whether her Department will provide a comparative analysis of changes in parking numbers, on a monthly basis, for the (i) six-month trial period; and (ii)…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) how her Department promoted the extra hour of free parking in the Lisburn and Newry parking discount scheme; and (ii) whether users were aware of the offer available.
A new survey of business leaders should be a wake-up call to all in the House but particularly to the Department for the Economy and the Department for Infrastructure. The message from business that was released last week is stark and clear. Eighty-two per cent of businesses say that Stormont's current policy and lack…
