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.
I will speak about an issue that brings me no joy whatsoever. Forty-two women and girls have been murdered in just under eight years in the North of Ireland: 42 women and girls, with their lives ahead of them, destroyed in a heartbeat. The North is, and has been for some time, one of the most dangerous places in…
An issue that is affecting an increasing number of my constituents and that we see coming in waves every summer is bus passes for rural dwellers. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to put a question for oral answer to the Education Minister in the Chamber, but, unfortunately, I was not able to ask him my supplementary…
In 2012, the former British Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged shocking levels of collusion in the murder of Pat Finucane. We know that that was not the only case in the North where collusion was at play. Is the deputy First Minister confident that the public inquiry will deliver the truth that the Finucane…
I welcome the opportunity to speak about our draft Programme for Government, which is out for consultation until 4 November. It is vital that as many people as possible respond to that consultation and have their views fed in. As Mr Harvey outlined, the announcement of our draft Programme for Government on 5 September…
I support the motion and the amendment. I take on board the point that the Member for North Antrim made when she proposed the amendment. She said that we should not refer to children as "the future", and I totally understand what she was saying. However, I find it impossible to disagree with Whitney Houston. I believe…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs

Minister, I know that, like me, you have been working closely with NI Water over the past week or so to alleviate the concerns of all our constituents about the water. You have outlined that the issue is the result of years — decades — of neglect of Lough Neagh, in particular, and that is why we have the situation…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chead-Aire as a ráiteas. Minister, I thank you for your answers thus far and associate myself with the condolences that you passed on to the families of all the women who have been murdered recently. I welcome the statement. It is particularly relevant given the actions of the past few weeks…
I rise to raise an issue that has been brought to me by hundreds of my constituents over the past fortnight. Some of the words that have been used to describe our tap water in south Derry include "musty", "very stale", "not drinkable", "rotten", "rank", "it tastes like dirt" and "it tastes like blue mould". I have not…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) the electoral wards that are being used to deliver SureStart services; and (ii) when new wards will be used.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to provide an update on the progress to appoint Commissioners under the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act 2022.
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on (i) the 2024-25 budget provided to the Affordable Warmth Scheme; and (ii) how he will ensure that those accepted onto the scheme are able to have the work carried out as soon as possible.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) the number of applications accepted by the Affordable Warmth Scheme; and (ii) the amount funding available for the scheme during the 2024-25 financial year, broken down by constituency.
To ask the Minister of Education whether he intends to review how SureStart operates in terms of geographical wards, given old wards are being used as a mechanism for identifying those entitled to access their services.
Thanks to the Minister for that answer. Minister, you referred in your answer to the mandatory ammonia reduction strategies, which, obviously, farmers will be required to adhere to. What consideration have you given to the cost of doing that, particularly for smaller farmers, and the practicalities of that sort of…
Lowering the Voting Age for 16 and 17 Year Olds That this Assembly notes the motion agreed by the Assembly, in November 2012, calling on the British Government to introduce legislation to change the voting age to 16; regrets that previous British Governments failed to introduce such legislation; further notes the…
