All of Mr Eóin Tennyson’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Does the Member not accept that it is completely unacceptable in our society to hate an individual because of the colour of their skin, their religion, their sexuality or their gender, and that surely all of us in the Assembly should be able to agree on at least that?
Minister, the IT outage was hugely distressing for patients who have been waiting for, in some instances, a very long time and those who have been red-flagged for cancer and other issues. Will there be a coordinated regional response to the disruption? Will other trusts play any role in rescheduling the appointments…
Minister, I am not sure that you can disaggregate your party's position from your position as Minister. You claim that it is Sinn Féin's position that the pylons be undergrounded. How is that consistent with the position of your colleague the Infrastructure Minister who is fending off legal challenges from those who…
Mr Tennyson asked the Minister for the Economy, given that she has reiterated her support for 80% renewable energy by 2030, which is a commitment that he shares, and that critical to that will be the delivery of the North/South interconnector, whether, for the avoidance of doubt, she and her Department support the…
Modernisation of Future Census That this Assembly welcomes the increasing diversity of our population; recognises that equality and employment laws need to be modernised; acknowledges that any requirement to guess people's community background is no longer appropriate more than a generation on from the Good…

Holding the Irish Government to Account on Legacy - Amendment 3 Leave out all after ‘survivors and their advocates;’ and insert: ‘recognises that both the UK and Irish governments have a moral and legal duty to ensure that the border is no impediment to victims and survivors accessing justice and truth; regrets that…
To ask the Minister of Education to outline the measures his Department will implement to ensure that delays related to construction of modular classrooms do not further impact the commencement of the academic year for pupils in special educational needs settings.
IT Outage in Southern Health and Social Care Trust To ask the Minister of Health for his assessment of the impact of the IT issues that faced the Southern Health and Social Care Trust on Wednesday 17th September.
Addressing Skills Gaps between Young People and Businesses That this Assembly notes the importance of promoting economic opportunity to deliver social justice and a truly reconciled society; recognises the significant job creation delivered by investment in Northern Ireland over the last few years; acknowledges that a…
The murder of Charlie Kirk is the latest incident in a worrying rise in political violence in the United States and, indeed, across the world. It was an act of political cowardice. I speak as somebody who disagreed with just about every word that came out of Charlie Kirk's mouth, but I can recognise his talent as an…
By this stage, we all know that Lough Neagh is dying in plain sight. For the third summer in a row, toxic blue-green algae has enveloped its waters. That putrid green sludge has suffocated wildlife and upended key parts of our rural economy. However, the ecological crisis in Lough Neagh is not seasonal; its roots are…
The situation in Gaza is a man-made humanitarian catastrophe. Over 63,000 people have been killed, and many more have been maimed and injured. The strip lies in ruins, and famine now grips the population. Over 1,400 health workers, over 200 journalists and over 100 aid workers have been murdered. When children are…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Will you clarify the Standing Order under which Nuala McAllister was asked to leave the Chamber, the length of her suspension and why no question was put to the Assembly regarding her suspension?
It is telling that the first motion that we are debating in the Chamber on our return from summer recess is not about the crisis that faces children with special educational needs, hospital waiting lists, the ecological crisis that faces Lough Neagh or the cost-of-living crisis bearing down on our constituents;…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “End the Forced Starvation in Gaza”
End the Forced Starvation in Gaza - Amendment 2 Leave out all after ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation;’ and insert: ‘further notes that two Israeli human rights organisations have called for an immediate end to the dismantling of Gaza's health and life-sustaining systems; calls for an immediate ceasefire, an end to…
