Mr Declan Kearney: Assembly records
All of Mr Declan Kearney’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Minister, for decades, British armed forces have been central to state terrorism in this place. Today, their security and intelligence agencies continue to play a malign role in our politics and society. That is reflected in the attempt to push through the so-called legacy legislation in Westminster today and…
I have listened to attempts to link peaceful opposition to an unwanted Orange parade down the Garvaghy Road with the baseless assertion that a future new Ireland will be a place hostile to Orange culture or the unionist tradition. Let me deal with that: it is a false narrative, and it is intentional and premeditated.…
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQO 4091/22-27, to detail any actions his Department is taking to address any health inequalities experienced by adults and children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, particularly those who are unable to access assessment, treatment pathway or ongoing support…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQO 4106 22-27, and further to the publication of the All Island Strategic Rail Review, (i) for an update on use of Shared Island funding in relation to future implementation of review findings; and (ii) whether the reopening of the Knockmore Line in South Antrim has…
Minister, you have worked closely with me and local residents in Antrim town specifically, which has been the subject of very severe flooding in recent months. Can you give me an assurance that, as we move through the rest of this year, you and your officials will prioritise flood alleviation and defence measures in…
Mr Kearney asked the Minister for Infrastructure whether, given the forecast El Niño event in autumn of this year, she can give an indication of the extent of her Department's preparedness for that weather event.
Eight of the world's largest companies have made $93 billion profit in just three months of Israel and America's ongoing war against Iran. We all know that escalating food, oil and energy costs are exacerbating the ongoing cost-of-living crisis for ordinary workers and families. This is a time when families are being…
Geo-Blocking of RTÉ and TG4 That this Assembly expresses concern at the continued geo-blocking of Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) and Teilifís na Gaeilge (TG4) content for audiences here; recognises the frustration caused to viewers who are denied equal access to public service broadcasting, cultural programming and…
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to the publication of the ADHD Needs Assessment Report in February 2026, for an update on the commissioning of a funded NHS service to ensure delivery of fair and equal access to ADHD diagnosis and treatment for both adults and children.
Minister, on Friday, you made a very important announcement about a financial mitigation package for fishermen because of the endemic pollution of the Lough. I think that we would both agree that the package will not provide full compensation for the eel fishermen's loss of livelihood because they can no longer fish…
Notwithstanding the misplaced commentary from my colleague, Minister, in reality, Casement must be seized as a flagship project on the part of our Executive and wider society, because, as you correctly say, sport should be celebrated in our community regardless of the discipline or the code. Will you therefore…
The nearly 70-year US blockade against the Republic of Cuba is a collective punishment against the people of Cuba. It has been a silent genocide, illegally carried out, that is morally wrong and politically indefensible. The intention of the illegal US blockade is clear: to starve the Cuban people into submission and…
Minister, businesses in rural areas already have to contend with many more obstacles than businesses in urban areas. How will you ensure that rural businesses specifically are not disadvantaged when seeking grid connections?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as an fhreagra fhíorghairid sin. Minister, you will be aware that there is considerable anger over the legal action that you have been taking against that signage. Earlier today, I noted that a loss of confidence has been submitted by the arts sector in relation to a lack of investment in…
Ten years after the DUP ineptitude and arrogance around the RHI debacle, which collapsed these institutions, I welcome the work that has been done by the Sinn Féin Minister for the Economy, Caoimhe Archibald, to close the RHI scheme. I associate myself with Phillip's remarks, as Chair of the Committee, in noting the…
Andy Burnham is not the first British Prime Minister to come to Ireland and seek to impose a unionist veto on the right to self-determination. Hopefully, he will be the last. There has been speculation on whether his comments had more to do with a gaffe or lines that were drafted by Britain's colonial outpost here in…
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline the amount of departmental funding that has been spent on legal actions concerning Irish language signage in public spaces.
To ask the Minister of Education whether his Department will seek to ensure appropriate educational resources on Youtube will remain accessible to primary and post-primary students once the social media ban for under 16-year-olds is implemented next year.
The 'good jobs' Bill is designed to benefit every single worker across this society, regardless of background. It is not anti-business. It is about growing economic productivity and enhancing employment and workers' rights. It is obvious that that transformative legislation is being blocked by the DUP while it…
Catastrophic, kamikaze economics, politically toxic — there is no other way to describe the Brexit debacle. Yet, 10 years on, those in the Chamber who continue to cheerlead are burying their heads in the sand. They tell us that they have not yet got the Brexit they wanted: I can only assume that means that it is not…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as an fhreagra sin. I note the Minister's comments and take them on board. Does the Minister agree that handing over £150,000 to English consultants is not an intelligent use of his limited departmental financial resources?
