To ask the Minister of Education for an update on the awarding of Youth Capital Scheme funding to applicants who had previously received a letter of offer.
To ask the Minister of Education whether he has given consideration to extend Education Statements, which dictate that young people require support, beyond the age of 16 to the age of 18.
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Minister, I cannot imagine that you were surprised when you saw this item in the Order Paper, because I have brought the matter and issues related to it to you and your predecessor multiple times over the years. I find it very difficult to navigate the provision of respite…
Minister, will you clarify what meetings or conversations you have had with the CBA to try to bring an end to the strike? What engagement have you had with the Commissioner Designate for Victims of Crime regarding the delays felt as a result of the strike by those who have experienced crime?

Does the First Minister agree that celebrating equality and diversity is positive for society across the board and key to building a more inclusive society?
Like others in the Chamber, I watched with shock and disbelief as the news unfolded this weekend and at the confusion that it has created. Like the Member for North Antrim, I am appalled by colonialism and have always stood against it. Our Minister for the Economy, Caoimhe Archibald, has written to the British and…
Protecting Victims of Coercive Control That this Assembly recognises the deep and lasting trauma that coercive control has on its victims; notes that perpetrators can exploit court proceedings through coercive behaviours, particularly within family courts, in an effort to re-traumatise their victims; acknowledges that…
Minister, there is a wee bit of a misconception among the public about the average salary of a barrister. There is also a disparity in the profession, with people from working-class communities, minority communities and women often unable to excel within it. What can the Department do to ensure that people from those…
Minister, if you had listened correctly, you would have heard me asking you to address the wastage. A lot of the time, the problem is cost per journey. Following a request from a school in my constituency — St John Bosco Primary School in Ballynease — I recently wrote to your Department to ask about transport for…
I speak this afternoon about a deeply disturbing occurrence that we have seen rise in popularity over the past week: the use of AI to invent images that sexualise young women and girls and the real threat that that poses. We talk all the time in the Chamber and, indeed, across society about violence against women and…
Ms Sheerin asked the Minister of Education to look at the transport policy operated by the Education Authority to see whether revisions can be made to ensure that more children have access to transport and that any wastage is dealt with.
To ask the Minister of Education to outline any engagement that has taken place between his Department, the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools and the Education Authority in relation to an Irish-medium unit at St John’s Primary School, Swatragh.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the criteria used to determine how many hours per week of direct payment support a family with (i) a child; and (ii) a young adult, with complex needs is entitled to.
To ask the Minister of Health for his assessment of how the Direct Payments system is being implemented in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust region to support young adults with complex needs.
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I welcome the motion. We have tabled a small amendment to close the gap left by not including the cross-border agencies in the motion and to make sure that there is no scope for criminals to avail themselves of that gap. We often say that crime knows no border. We are…
I support the motion and thank my constituency colleague for moving it. As Mr McGlone outlined, motions have been passed with cross-party support by a number of councils, including our own Mid Ulster District Council. We hope to see that replicated here today, because it would be important legislation. I commend the…
Minister, you will know that the Communities in Transition programme made a significant contribution to building communities that are equipped to deal with paramilitarism and organised crime. Can you set out how the Communities in Transition programme is currently being delivered to achieve that outcome?
