Miss Deirdre Hargey: Assembly records
All of Miss Deirdre Hargey’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Justice (i) to detail when the independent review into the case of Jonathan Creswell will be completed, given its six month timeline from its announcement on 21 February 2025; (ii) whether the final report will be published; and (iii) whether she will present the findings to the Assembly, due to…
I probably will not mention it either. I welcome the debate and thank Phillip for securing it. I had it in my notes that we debated the topic last year. I was here talking about it. When we look at the city centre, we see it as one city centre that impacts on all the communities, but, whilst the Tribeca site is, to be…
Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank my party colleagues for tabling this important motion and, indeed, those Members who tabled the amendment. I also thank Members from all parties for their contributions and the Minister for taking the time to come along to the debate. Unfortunately, I have seen at first…
Minister, given that there are financial challenges ahead and that we will have to wait to see what the British Chancellor comes up with at the end of November, what will you be prioritising in the multi-annual Budget?
It is concerning that, again, there have been ifs and buts in some of the comments that have been made tonight. Words matter, because actions follow, and actions are misguided when there is misinformation. There is no focus on or anger with bankers, despite how they have fleeced people. Over £20 billion is still owed —
I am glad that you raised the issue of Felden, because that was a disgrace. At the time, Sinn Féin councillor Michael Goodman condemned it, and I know that Stewart Dickson also did so at the time. The one thing that we have called for is that housing be allocated on the basis of need and in an open and fair way. I…
I thank the Members who tabled this important motion. We have seen a stark increase in the number of racist and sectarian attacks on homes and families over the past year. The past year saw the highest number of racially motivated attacks since records on the issue began 21 years ago, so that puts it in context. Last…
Thanks very much. Thank you to everybody who spoke on today's motion. I listened intently, even to those with whom I may not directly agree. We will have differing opinions and views. Do you know what? That is OK. That is what a political Chamber is for. Once the summer months are over, we often forget about and move…
The Minister rightly touched on the fact that there are ongoing legal proceedings to challenge the British Government on proscribing Palestine Action. Will she join those proceedings as a third party?
Minister, as you said, the transformation board is carrying out important work. There has been a recent expansion of the board's membership. What benefits will that bring?
To ask the Minister of Justice, in light of the statement made by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland at the British-Irish Association conference in Oxford, whether any Northern Ireland Office or British Government officials have been in contact with her Department in relation to legacy matters, especially…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (i) for an update on the removal of asbestos and other toxic materials located on the site of the recent bonfire at Meridi Street in South Belfast; (ii) to detail the timeframe for its removal; (iii) to detail who has direct responsibility for its…
To ask the Minister of Justice whether she has considered joining the legal proceedings in relation to the proscription of Palestine Action as an interested party, allowing first hand observation of the proceedings with the option of conveying any concerns raised by human rights groups and political parties.
To ask the Minister of Justice whether her Department has had any engagement regarding the ongoing legal challenges in England concerning the proscription of Palestine Action.
Bonfire Regulation That this Assembly notes that this summer has again seen illegal and unregulated bonfires on contaminated land, placed dangerously close to hospitals, and used as platforms for racist and sectarian displays; further notes that the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and Tradition report set out a…
I thank the Minister for coming to the House for the Second Stage of the Bill. In 20 clauses, the Bill makes amendments that will help to address several issues across various Departments, as the Minister laid out. There is more detail in the explanatory and financial memorandum (EFM). The oversight of the investment…
I thank the Minister for coming to the Chamber this evening. The motion is important. I share the disappointment that the legislation did not come to the House sooner in the form of a legislative consent motion, but it is important that, where possible, the Assembly exercises its full legislative capabilities. I…
