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.
I welcome the opportunity to speak in today's debate. As we have heard from everyone who has spoken so far, our society is still impacted on by the legacy of the conflict. That legacy impacted on our communities in different forms: death and injury; trauma; mental health; and discriminatory policies and planning that…
At its core, the Bill is about ensuring that the North's insolvency framework remains modern, fair and aligned with best practice. Insolvency law may not always capture the headlines, but it plays a crucial role in underpinning business confidence and supporting economic stability. In an economy such as ours, which is…
Thanks very much, Mr Speaker. Building a world-class healthcare system in a new Ireland would give us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rethink how we care for one another. At a recent health event that was hosted by Sinn Féin in South Belfast, clinicians, GPs and medical experts delivered a clear message:…
Thanks very much. Does the First Minister agree that all political leaders have a responsibility to stand against the inhumanity that Israel is displaying towards the Palestinian people?
Miss Hargey asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the reasons for the First Minister's decision on visiting the White House on St Patrick's Day.
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline any policy work taking place in relation to the impact of short-term lets and holiday homes on the housing system.
I thank the Members who tabled the motion. Sinn Féin will support the motion, because it is right that the Assembly engages seriously on the pressures facing the Civil Service and our public services more generally. However, our support is not uncritical, and it is not a blank cheque. Any reform must be rooted in…
Thanks very much, Minister. You previously said that you have set aside £10 million for that in the three-year Budget, and let us hope that all parties can sign up to that. What else have you done to support small businesses since the Executive got back up and running two years ago?
Minister, you highlighted some of the challenges regarding social value in procurement in the PPN. Will you highlight some of the opportunities and benefits?
Miss Hargey asked the Minister of Finance, following on from his previous comments, to provide an update on the recent small business rate relief scheme consultation.
I thank the Minister for bringing this important LCM to the House. As she rightly points out, we are dealing with the devolved elements, including enhancing safeguards for people and communities here, particularly on child criminal exploitation, and looking at issues such as restrictions on the driving licences of…
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. Following the halting of Reval2026, will you outline the next steps? As you said, there are many sectors involved. How important is it that they engage with you and provide further evidence?
Thank you very much, Minister. The trade union movement has said that the Bill is one of the most advanced and radical pieces of legislation on these islands. Will you outline your engagement with the trade unions here and their views on your proposals?
Miss Hargey asked the Minister for the Economy to outline how the ambitious 'good jobs' Bill that she is bringing forward will enhance protections for workers and families on low incomes.
Minister, will you outline the supports for local businesses under the current rating system? What provisions are there in the proposed three-year Budget for further supports?
It is nice to see that Sinn Féin is in the frontal lobe of the SDLP's brain today. I thank the proposer of the motion and add my support. The ESRI report, which is the first to consider annual economic surveys and to assess economic trends across Ireland, using comparable data, is good, and it would be good for…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) the number of prisoners who were released with no accommodation secured, over the last five years; and (ii) any protocol and support arrangements in place, for those leaving prison with no accommodation before they are released.
I am delighted that Fleadh Cheoil is coming to Belfast for the first time and to the North for only the second time. It has been around eight years in the planning and represents a major opportunity to build on the success of the fleadh in Derry in 2013, which attracted over 400,000 visitors and delivered significant…
I thank the Minister for her statement. As you highlighted, Minister, the criminal Bar has a right to take strike action, as any sector does. That said, we want to avoid that action. I was concerned when you said that you had rejected the Lady Chief Justice's suggestion of mediation. There are concerns that junior…
