Mrs Deborah Erskine: Assembly records
All of Mrs Deborah Erskine’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 giving way. The point is that we are telling people to travel on roads to access an MOT appointment when their car may be unroadworthy, and that they may be doing that unwittingly. I will just say that there is nothing wrong with travelling to Enniskillen for a test appointment.
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I came to hear the Minister respond to our motion in the Chamber. As I am sitting here, before the debate has even finished, news is breaking online of the proposals that the Minister is going to bring forward. It is really disappointing that it is the case that the…
I thank the Member for letting me intervene. We know that there are issues elsewhere with some of those things, so has the Member thought about what we could do from a Northern Ireland perspective to circumnavigate some of those? We cannot stick our head in the sand and pretend that there are not issues in places such…
I beg to move I declare an interest as someone waiting for an MOT test appointment and in that my husband's has relations who work in the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) system. I make my comments as a Fermanagh and South Tyrone DUP MLA and not as Chair of the Infrastructure Committee. The motion is of extreme…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. On Friday, we celebrated International Women's Day, and, yesterday, we celebrated Mother's Day. This morning, I woke up to a Spice Girls song on the radio. That shows what I listen to in the morning, but it certainly was apt given the motion in the Chamber today. It takes me back to that…
Recently, Northern Ireland Water came to the Infrastructure Committee, and, during that evidence session, the chief executive said that we are overspilling into our waterways at a significant amount; in fact, she could not detail how many overspills there are in the NI Water system. That is hugely concerning. What is…
I thank the Minister, and I congratulate her on taking up her post. I have not had the opportunity to formally do that. Antisocial behaviour is a scourge on communities, and that has not been not helped by either the reduction in the numbers of neighbourhood policing teams or the pressures on policing. Can the…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to provide an update on the discussions he has had with the BT Group and Invest NI on the future of the EE call centre site in Enniskillen.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the measures taken to reduce the waiting times for urology operations in the Western Health and Social Care Trust.
I thank the Member for West Tyrone Nicola Brogan for bringing this Adjournment debate on the A5 to the House. We can all agree that the construction of the A5 is much needed. It is not just about a road for better connectivity; it is about safety for people who travel on that road. We are all cognisant of that fact in…
I really welcome the A4, and I hope that progress will now ensue. My question is about the Northern Ireland Audit Office report and the issues that it raised around procurement and the delivery of key infrastructure projects. Can the Minister ensure that the A4 southern bypass will be delivered on time so that there…
I thank the Minister for his statement. Of course, the issue is not just about attacks on people: in rural areas such as my constituency, we have seen attacks on livestock, which destroy farmers' livelihoods. Those attacks do not solely involve XL bully dogs. Will the Minister commit to dealing with the issue overall?…
I want to bring the Chamber's attention again to the significant job losses that are facing people in Enniskillen in my constituency. Nearly a month ago, BT Group announced that it was considering the closure of its Enniskillen site. To say that there was mixed messaging from BT is an understatement. On the one hand,…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether he is committed to ensuring Rural Community Transport will have a sustainable level of funding, given its importance within communities.
The deputy First Minister will be acutely aware that I am keen to see the economy in the west boosted. Can the Minister confirm whether the Programme for Government will contain any specific economic targets on which sectors are key to Northern Ireland's growth?
I rise with surprise and concern as I have become aware that 14 MOT lifts have cracks appearing on them again. That is concerning for employees' safety in our test centres and, indeed, could add to delays in MOT testing. Many people are already frustrated with the current backlog: I declare an interest as somebody who…
MOT Test Centre Lifts To ask the Minister of Infrastructure to outline the urgent action his Department is taking following reports of cracks appearing in test centre lifts.
