All of Ms Diane Forsythe’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I welcome the Minister's comment that she will visit a banking hub in the new year. In Kilkeel in my constituency, we had the first banking hub in Northern Ireland, and another one is opening this week in Newcastle, which is great news. One thing that has often come from the feedback on banking hubs is that they do…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of (i) midwives employed in each Health and Social Care Trust, broken down by (a) hospital-based; and (b) community-based midwives; and (ii) vacant midwifery posts in each Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Finance to detail the number people, resident to Northern Ireland, that are estimated to have spent their holidays in other parts of Northern Ireland in each of the last four years.
I thank the Minister for his answer. Given the lack of data published by NISRA through the COVID years and right up to 2023, it is a bit disappointing that we have not got a capture of the day trips, staycationing in Northern Ireland and the travel between Northern Ireland and the Republic that went on. Has the…
Last week, we celebrated Ulster-Scots Leid Week, when, across Northern Ireland, communities joined in a wide variety of activities, which our Ulster-Scots Agency coordinated, that promoted the Ulster-Scots language. Many events were organised by community groups and councils across Northern Ireland. The last census…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Member for bringing the topic of fishing to the Assembly. As a fellow South Down MLA, I can say that fishing is a critical industry for our constituency. Northern Ireland's fishing fleet is predominantly based in the three harbours that are managed and maintained by the…
I really enjoyed that event in the SSE Arena, and I thank the Minister for hosting it. Following on from that Olympic success, as Minister for sport, does he agree that the Ulster banner includes everyone in Northern Ireland?
I rise to mark the 16 Days of Activism, an international movement against gender-based violence that began yesterday on International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. I also mark the UNiTE campaign, which highlights that a woman is killed every 10 minutes. In 2024, that is a horrific and unacceptable…
Ms Forsythe asked the Minister for Communities, who will surely agree that Northern Ireland punches well above its weight in sporting achievement and strives to continue with this going forward, to advise of any ongoing work or communications to maximise Northern Ireland's potential at the upcoming 2026 Commonwealth…
