All of Ms Emma Sheerin’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any assessment that has been made of the suitability of prison Care and Supervision Units, being used to manage prisoners with complex health issues.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail the number prisoners that have been housed in Care and Supervision Units in prison, in each of the last five financial years.
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Will you give an assessment on whether it is appropriate for Members to use transphobic language numerous times in the House?
Like the Member who has just spoken, I and my colleagues in Sinn Féin will vote in favour of amendment No 96, which we believe to be a common-sense amendment to increase safety provisions for prisoners as they return to the outside world, and against amendment No 97, which is a deliberate and politically motivated…
Yesterday, we saw former Member of this House Jeffrey Donaldson found guilty of child sexual abuse charges, including rape. Our thoughts are with his victims, who have suffered more than any of us could ever comprehend. I want to commend them for the strength and dignity that they have shown, both in coming forward to…
I thank the Minister. Again, we are hearing from across the Committee that the need for increased clarity is the barrier to people's supporting the clause. There is lots in what you have said that provides food for thought and something for us to consider, because we feel that ensuring that people have access to legal…
I thank the Member for her intervention. I do not think that there is any disagreement in the Committee on the objective and what you have set out there. I do not think that we have heard disagreement from any Member who has spoken thus far. I take your point that it is not explicitly about accessing the service,…
I want to outline Sinn Féin's position on these amendments. Like the Member who spoke previously, we are in agreement with the Minister on opposing the inclusion of clause 28, but we have similar concerns as my constituency colleague about the proposed new clause 27A. It goes back to a lot of the rationale that has…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any work currently underway to develop a recovery plan, following the conclusion of the withdrawal of services by criminal barristers.
To ask the Minister of Justice for an update on any scoping work that her Department has carried out, to identify any PSNI enforcement gaps on e-scooters and scramblers, that will require legislative change.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) any treatment plans that are available to women with a diagnosis of adenomyosis; and (ii) whether his Department refer people to other countries for treatments which are not available on the island of Ireland.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any pathways that are available to someone suffering with endometriosis who is unable to access any appropriate treatment path on the island of Ireland.
To ask the Minister of Health (i) to detail the number of social workers who are employed within the older people’s service in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust; and (ii) whether any assessment has been made on the adequacy of this staffing level.
I will speak on behalf of my party. Sinn Féin will support amendment Nos 92 to 95. They represent important, progressive reforms to our justice system, which we obviously support. We have probably seen far too little of that in recent days. At their heart is the principle that our justice system has to hold people…
That is just for the record. You made a comment about providing us with expertise or advice. We are the outlier. MACR is lower here than in 75% of European states, and the world has not caved in in any of those places. We have advice going back as far as 2011 to increase the age of criminal responsibility, and we have…
In fairness to the Member, it is not in his nature to talk in extremities, and he has not been doing so, but the argument that he is making is based on extreme cases. We know that law that is made on the basis of extreme cases is not good law. If the law covers only extreme cases but punishes all children, including…
I thank the Member for giving way. There are a couple of parts to my intervention. First, the Commissioner Designate for Victims of Crime supports the amendment, and she is well versed in the needs and experiences of victims here. Secondly, as a woman, I can say with absolute clarity, because every woman whom I have…
