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 want to talk about the cost-of-living crisis that the motion refers to, and I want to talk about the evidence and the facts that have been spoken about and that we long to hear. People outside the Building are feeling its effects every day when they are heating their home, putting fuel in their car or filling up…
I welcome a couple of things in the deputy First Minister's answer in relation to the commitment to deliver in the Executive, including the delivery of Casement Park. Deputy First Minister, can you point to one tangible action that you or your colleague in your office have taken that has moved Casement Park closer to…
For weeks, I have been raising people's concerns about the cost of energy. My constituents feel it when they fill their oil tank, at the petrol pump and every time that they go to the shop. Right now, those costs continue to rise at an absolutely scandalous rate because of one simple truth: we are absolutely exposed…
I sat last night with tears of joy, and, today, I am thankful that it was not as late as other nights when I have watched Rory. I take a moment to recognise the extraordinary achievement of Rory McIlroy and the extraordinary ambassador that he is for Northern Ireland and this island. What he has done on the global…
Rising Energy and Road Fuel Costs To ask the Minister for the Economy what steps she will put in place to support local families and businesses impacted by the stark rise in energy and road fuel costs following the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East.
Cancellation of Summer Schemes in Special Schools That this Assembly expresses grave concern that the Education Authority has announced the cancellation of summer schemes in special schools in 2026 due to concerns about healthcare provision for participating children; recognises that these schemes provide a lifeline…
There is real frustration about the length of time that this has taken: it has been ongoing for a while. I gave evidence to the panel at least a year ago, or maybe longer. People who live in houses in Lisburn Square and the Magheralave area of Lisburn are being held to ransom by property management companies. What…
Over the past number of days and weeks, there has been a lot of political noise around energy prices and oil prices, but the reality for households is much simpler. People outside this Building are really worried. Working people are already struggling, families are trying to manage household budgets and pensioners are…
Mr Honeyford asked the Minister of Finance to provide an update on the progress of civil law reform of shared property management, which, in addition to the cost of energy, which the Minister has dealt with extensively, is an issue that affects his constituents in Lagan Valley.
When people hear the phrase "emissions trading scheme", most will switch off. It sounds really technical and not related to everyday life, but such decisions are not abstract; they are about our economy and our trade. Ultimately, they are about opportunities and costs facing people and businesses here in Northern…
Alliance is interested in growing our economy, full stop. The potential for North/South economic collaboration is absolutely huge. Right now, we hear far more talk about that than we see delivery. Alliance absolutely supports the principles behind the motion and the amendment, but we are really disappointed that the…
Last week, I raised the issue of the real impact that the sharp rise in energy prices is having on households across Northern Ireland. I also raised the issue of the lack of regulation of heating oil. Over the past number of days, those concerns have only grown. For many families here, energy prices affect practically…
Rising Energy Prices To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline any steps she will put in place to support local families and businesses impacted by the rise in energy costs following the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East.
Renewables to Enhance Northern Ireland’s Energy Security That this Assembly expresses grave concern at the impact of energy price rises on families and businesses due to conflict in the Middle East; further expresses grave concern that Northern Ireland already had the highest fuel poverty rate in the UK and that this…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any steps her Department has taken to deliver the £2 billion renewable energy economy target, set out in the Energy Strategy, The Path to Net Zero Energy, published in December 2021,
Yesterday morning, families across Northern Ireland woke up to a dramatic rise in the price of home heating oil. It rose instantly, overnight. People here should not pay the price for a war somewhere else. This morning, gas prices have already risen by over 30%. When crude oil prices rise by 10% and local oil prices…
Rise in Energy Costs To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline any steps she will put in place to support local families and businesses impacted by the rise in energy costs following the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East.
I, too, will talk about opportunity. In Northern Ireland, we have the habit of creating systems that are so narrow in choice that they exclude people and create barriers for them rather than delivering better for them. We have an education system with cliff edges built throughout it and self-inflicted barriers that…
