Ms Emma Sheerin: Assembly records
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.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure (i) whether there will be an increased budget allocation for road resurfacing schemes before the 2025-26 financial year; and (ii) to detail when the proposed resurfacing of Draperstown Main Street, at the roundabout and B47 junction with B40 and B41, take place.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether there are any plans to increase the gritting capacity in the Western Division of the network, specifically in terms of the number of gritters currently operational within the Magherafelt depot.
I thank the Minister for his statement. Is there any scope within the initiative for the return of free digital devices for children from disadvantaged backgrounds in order to support their learning?
I congratulate Robert Emmet's GAC Slaughtneil on retaining an Ulster title on Sunday after a spectacular victory over Portaferry, when the team came from eight points down to eventually win by three points. I congratulate the people of Slaughtneil on again becoming Ulster champions. As my wee friend Patrick McMullan…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any action he has taken to increase the provision of respite services for adults with additional needs in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust.
I support the motion and commend the proposer for bringing it to the House to have this valuable debate. Incorporating the UNCRPD is a practical step that we can take to support those across society who live with a disability. That came up a lot during the bill of rights process in the last mandate, during which we…
It will come as no surprise to anybody listening to the debate that I am definitely in support of upland sheep farmers, being, as I am, the daughter of one. I was reared on a sheep farm in the Sperrins, so I have a particular interest in the motion and the topic, and I feel that supporting our sheep producers is the…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of people currently awaiting a full or partial package of care in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the actions his Department has taken to increase the recruitment of domiciliary care assistants in 2024.
I rise in celebration following a brilliant weekend of sport across the province, most notably my club, St Colm's Ballinascreen, becoming Ulster champions. I heartily congratulate everybody involved in the panel, particularly the management of Cathal, Paddy and Colm and the entire team. We have a brilliant mix of…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to confirm that the promotion of regional balance will be a core component of the Programme for Government 2024-2027.
I thank my fellow Member for Mid Ulster for bringing the debate to the Chamber. Like Keith, I have a passion for Mid Ulster, a largely rural constituency. Anybody who knows me will know that I am from a farming family and proud of the fact. As has been said, Mid Ulster has a largely rural population: about 155,000…
I am not happy about the reasons for the motion but I am glad to speak in a very important debate. As I have said before in the Chamber, racism is another issue that we will never deal with and eradicate unless we talk about it and identify its root causes. I commend the proposer of the motion for bringing it to the…
Minister, in your statement, you referred to the commitment to the PEACE PLUS programme, which, we know, has brought an awful lot of investment, particularly to our constituency. Will you give an update on that?
A constituent of mine, Jacob Fullerton, is well known across the broader Magherafelt area. Jacob suffers from a condition called Kleefstra syndrome. He previously attended Kilronan School for special education and is now in transition to the Northern Regional College's Magherafelt campus. He has written to me and…
I support the motion, as outlined by the Chair of the Committee. We discussed it at the Committee and supported the largely procedural matter, which just brings equality into place for our teachers across all sectors.
I thank the Minister for the answer. I understand the cost implications and challenges that this presents. I have written to your office to request a meeting with you and a group of parents. Quite a proportion in my area, but a small number when you consider the number of people accessing transport across the North,…
Ms Sheerin asked the Minister of Education, while the home-to-school transport policy is under review, to consider amending the definition of a suitable school in cases where a student has had to move school in order to study the subjects needed for their career or university aspirations, because sometimes the closest…
Following the further tragic news of yet more deaths of females in the North — indeed, I was on my feet earlier today in the Chamber to speak about that — can you outline your commitment to the ending violence against women and girls strategy on which your Department is leading?
I welcome the draft regulations. As referred to by the junior Minister and the Chair of the Executive Office Committee, a lot of work has already been done on this important piece of legislation. It would be remiss of me to not honour the work of former MLA Pat Catney, who invested a lot of time and energy in the…
