All of Ms Emma Sheerin’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Ba mhaith liom mo cheist a chur as Gaeilge. An aontaíonn an Comhalta go léiríonn an ceart gnó an Tí seo a dhéanamh trí Ghaeilge aitheantas fíorthábhachtach ar chearta phobal na Gaeilge dul i mbun gnó i dteanga dhúchais na hÉireann?
I rise this morning, in what is becoming an annual tradition, to congratulate Robert Emmet's GAC Slaughtneil on its retention of the Ulster Club Senior Hurling Championship title, having won the final on Sunday past. That is its sixth title in nine years, which is an amazing feat for the small south Derry club. I…
First Minister, do you agree that all elected reps have a responsibility to human rights and equality and that the language and tone that elected representatives use, in the Chamber and in the media, should be accurate and responsible in terms of human rights and equality, rather than promoting fear?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a freagraí. During the previous mandate, the sector welcomed the passing of the Domestic Abuse and Civil Proceedings Act, but, as I understand it, not all elements of that have been implemented, particularly around coercive control and how incidents are often treated as single…
Tá Lá Idirnáisiúnta um Dhíothú an Fhoréigin in aghaidh na mBan ann inniu. Ar an drochuair, tá ár sáith taithí againn ar an fhoréigean in aghaidh na mban sa Tuaisceart. Tá an fhadhb chomh forleathan sin gurbh éigean lá aitheantais domhanda a thiomnú di. Rinne na Náisiúin Aontaithe amach díriú ar an fhoréigean in…
Protection of the European Convention on Human Rights That this Assembly values the rights enshrined within the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and its protections for citizens on this, the 75th anniversary of its creation; acknowledges that legal expressions of the Good Friday Agreement incorporate the…
Minister, will you outline how the winter preparedness plan ensures that people who live with dementia have a clear pathway to avoid unnecessary hospital placements?
Molaim an rún Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. We tabled today's motion to bring focus to another example of cross-border collaboration, which is so important for the trajectory that we find ourselves on in the North of Ireland, with people feeling passionately, as I do, about the concept of Irish unity…
Last week, I visited the West Bank as part of an international delegation to discuss what is happening in Palestine. The West Bank is often referred to as the "normal" part of Palestine. Of course, there is nothing normal about a place where the Israeli settlers grade people as if they were meat. There is nothing…
Go raibh maith agat, a LeasCheann Comhairle. I am glad to hear a somewhat united voice in response to the motion that we tabled, because we want everyone to work together in support of the workers and families whom we all represent. As has been said by others throughout the debate, poverty is, indeed, a political…
I laughed at Mr O'Toole's comments, comparing the debate to a Bob Dylan record. Now, I would not insult Bob Dylan with that particular analogy, but I see the Member's point, and I have to agree with it. The proposer's premise was that he did not want the debate to be a rehashing of the benefits or negatives of Brexit…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Challenging the Harm Posed by the Windsor Framework”
Challenging the Harm Posed by the Windsor Framework - Amendment 2 Leave out all ‘deficit created by’ and insert: ‘Brexit, which the majority of people here opposed in the 2016 EU referendum; believes that our long-term future will be best served by rejoining the EU; notes that EU leaders have guaranteed that Northern…
I thank the Member for giving way. In their contributions, he and the previous Member to speak are getting to the heart of the matter. We do not want anyone to be discriminated against. Other Members have referred to community background or Irish identity, but that is not what the debate is about. We are saying that…
I thank the Member for giving way. Other Members have referred to the perceived disadvantage or challenges faced by ex-servicepeople. Is the Member able to outline for me specific challenges faced by people as a result of being abroad with the armed forces that are not faced by migrant workers who come here and have…
I rise to oppose the motion on the basis that it promotes inequality and pits one group in society against others, which is something that my party opposes. Sinn Féin supports the provision of public services on the basis of objective need. We believe that there should be equality of opportunity and equality of access…
Exclusion of Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that, further to his recent visit to Israel, the Minister of Education no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly, because of his failure to…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I welcome the opportunity to make a winding-up speech on the motion, which we tabled because we want to see action on the issue. We are at the close of what has been a particularly difficult day, when ideology has perhaps been the focus in some people's minds. For us, it…
I note that the Minister did not answer my colleague's questions. Why would B'Tselem state that a genocide is happening in Gaza if that is not true? Where is the Minister's humanity?
I am happy to join Gerry in congratulating Catherine Connolly, our new president-elect, and I was delighted to take part in canvassing for her throughout the country. This discussion is a stark contrast to the previous one. The election was an example of positivity rising above negativity and of good conquering evil,…
Impact of the Ongoing Increase in the Cost of Living That this Assembly notes that, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics on 22 October 2025, the inflation rate is at 3.8 per cent which is higher than the EU average; further notes that this rate of inflation is nearly double the Bank of…
Molaim an rún. Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The motion relates acutely to Brexit. There have been many debates about Brexit in the Chamber, across the North and beyond in the run-up to the decision that was made by the UK Government to pursue that agenda and since. We will have different narratives as…
