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 qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Health whether there has been an increase in the number of (i) ambulance call-outs; and (ii) Emergency Department admissions, caused by e-scooters, in the last 12 months.
I welcome the debate and, indeed, the Fiscal Council's report and the Committee's work over the past couple of months. Members have touched on presentations and comments on the Budget from the likes of the NERI. They all highlight the starkness of the Budget situation that the Executive find themselves in. It is a…
I can attest to the fact that Strangford is a lovely part of the world. Minister, as part of your consideration, will you look to review the sailings, specifically the early morning ones?
Last week's judgement at the British Supreme Court was a disappointing result for families who have campaigned for decades for truth and justice. The judgement has caused them grave concern and will make their job harder in the search for truth and justice. It is clear that the British Establishment is closing ranks…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Delivering the Belfast City Airport Master Plan”
Delivering the Belfast City Airport Master Plan - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘any airport’ and insert: ‘on the island; believes these steps are essential to strengthen our reputation as a leading destination for tourism; recognises the importance of air connectivity to the island as an economic driver for…
The council would have flexibility under the Bill to look at some of those areas, but it is down to the council — this is the independence point — to pick an area in order to delve into the issues.
As others have said, it is good that the Fiscal Council Bill is being debated in the House today. There was a good level of discussion and, to be fair, agreement on the Bill at the Finance Committee. Back in 2021, former Minister of Finance Conor Murphy announced the establishment of the Fiscal Council to provide…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the legislative timeline for the Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill (NIA Bill 15/22-27).
I think that the Minister's answer to my question is no. He mentioned trying to impact on working-class children, and I agree. I still live in a working-class community and can see the damage. The reviewer whom the Minister selected to carry out the curriculum review, Lucy Crehan, said at a recent meeting of the…
I concur with what my colleague has said. Obviously, what happened in Dunmurry at the weekend is not reflective or representative of the wider community there. Indeed, we know exactly what this is like because one of our offices was attacked with a viable device in recent months. Sinn Féin has been the focus of such…
Miss Hargey asked the Minister of Education whether he has any plans to reform the damaging practice of testing children at the age of 11, given that, earlier, he spoke about his plans around curriculum reform.
The point you raise is a good one, considering that recent figures have shown that energy companies are making $30 million an hour. So far, they have made $23 billion from what they call a "war windfall", which is a disgusting statement in itself, yet the British Government still refuse to tax those profits. That is…
I thank the Minister for the legislation. As other Members have said, it is a wide-ranging Bill with 20 clauses across a number of Departments. Obviously, good work has been done at the Finance Committee, and also engagement across the other Committees that are impacted on and have been feeding into the process and…
I echo what everybody else has said and welcome the Second Stage debate on the Bill. It is important that our legislation be routinely updated in order that it is fit for purpose. Sinn Féin supports the changes that the Minister is making. I thank him and his team of officials. It is important that we raise the…
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any engagement his Department has had with local councils, and in particular Belfast City Council, regarding rising concerns attached to Houses in Multiple Occupation.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the number of Houses in Multiple Occupation currently in (i) Belfast; and (ii) the South Belfast and Mid Down constituency.
