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.
I thank the Member for giving way. I know that he likes to see himself as a modern-day Nostradamus, but most of the rest of us in the Chamber are self-aware enough to know that none of us can predict the future. The Member may be right in his analysis that Farage will sweep the board and become Prime Minister, but it…
Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. In the five years since the UK left the EU and almost a decade since the referendum, we still have no sign of a single, solitary benefit of Brexit. We are still waiting on even a glimpse of the "sunlit uplands" that were promised by the grifters who promoted Brexit in the first…

A European Future for Northern Ireland - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘rejoining the European Union,’ and insert: ‘; further notes that there are two potential routes back into the European Union via either the United Kingdom as a whole re-entering or via constitutional change under the terms of the Good Friday…

To ask the Minister of Health whether he has considered giving cancer patients access to free dental care due to the side effects of cancer treatment on their oral health.
I commend the Minister for his advocacy on the veterinary and SPS agreement. I am sure that the Minister will agree that the best way to mitigate the tensions created by Brexit is through a closer relationship between the UK and the EU, which, surely, must include negotiations on a customs union.
Thank you, Minister, for that answer. Given that, so far, the sole action off the back of the that report on the cost of doing business appears to have been to forward it to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, is there anything in the document that the Treasury did not already know?
Thank you, Minister, for that answer. The strategy was heavily trailed in the media last week ahead of the Executive meeting, yet, as we stand here today, neither Members nor the sector have seen a copy of that document. Why the delay, and does that speak to a disrespect for those of us in the Chamber?
To ask the Minister for Communities what consideration his Department has given to the need for a women’s refuge provision within the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area.
I thank the Minister for that answer. Minister, will you give us a timeline for when we can expect to see that primary legislation? What assurances can you give that proposals for closure will command the confidence of the Assembly this time?
I thank the Minister for giving way. He is right: we have met on one occasion, and there is another meeting in the diary to discuss my private Member's Bill. However, surely he will accept that engagement with me is not tantamount to engagement with the LGBT sector organisations and that that should be prioritised…
Does the Minister acknowledge that almost two decades is sufficient time for consideration and proper scrutiny and that, perhaps, a little quicker than that would be good?
As we debate such issues, each of us in the Chamber has a duty to be mindful of the impact of our words, because, whilst this debate is just one of many that we will have, for young LGBTQ+ people out there who are listening, what we say is everything. For them, it is not a debate about political hypotheticals or a…
Thank you, deputy First Minister for that answer. I express my solidarity with you on the threat and abuse that you received. Hopefully, the individual in question will be held to account for that. There has been speculation that tech regulation and online safety regulation may be on the table as part of trade…
Reports over the weekend of the far-right Israeli Government's plans to expand and prolong their illegal occupation of Gaza, which are tantamount to ethnic cleansing, are deeply concerning. Far from delivering peace and security, those plans will only add to the mounting civilian death toll and the destruction of the…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Review of Local Councils’ Animal Welfare Policies”
Review of Local Councils’ Animal Welfare Policies - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘charities;’ and insert: ‘welcomes the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affair’s work to actively examine the case for inspecting and licensing rescue and rehoming organisations and bring forward relevant legislation…
