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 support the Supply resolutions for the spring Supplementary Estimates, the Vote on Account and the Excess Vote. I intend to speak relatively briefly, as we will have an opportunity to rehearse many of these issues and themes again during the passage of the Budget Bill. At the outset, I welcome the return to the…
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to AQW 14497/22-27, whether an alternative educational use has been identified for the former Craigavon Senior High School campus, Lurgan.
Like other Members, I welcome the opportunity to return to this important issue following the debate on 13 May last year. As the motion sets out, hospitality plays a key role in the success of Northern Ireland's tourism industry, with food and drink accounting for a significant portion of visitor spend. With 70% of…
In an uncharacteristic gesture, I give some credit to the DUP for consistency, because the DUP has been honest about its environmental credentials. It opposed the Climate Change Act, and it consistently stands up against environmental and climate action. However, what we have heard from other parties in the Chamber…
I thank the Member for giving way. She has highlighted the important role of Committees and their work on regulations, and I agree with her. Does she therefore agree that it was shameful that the previous Minister introduced a cap and made secondary legislation when the Assembly was down and there was no Committee in…
I thank the Member for giving way. He has read into the record a touching example of the challenges that many farming families face, and I would never diminish that. There are farming families who work incredibly hard under real pressure. However, will he acknowledge that he cited a 5% subsidy? By voting against the…
Delivering a New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland (withdrawn) That this Assembly expresses concern at the unaffordable rents, lack of long-term security and inadequate protections for tenants in our private rented sector; recognises that many private renters face a constant struggle to keep a roof over…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. During the Education Minister's answers to questions, he repeatedly referred to a £1 million limit for capital maintenance. That conflicts with the information on his Department's website. Would it be in order for the Minister to account for the inaccuracy on the website or…
Minister, it has been a typically arrogant and evasive question-and-answer session from a Minister whose credibility is once again under fire. I will ask the Minister this question again, and I would like a yes or no answer, please: did you or your officials, at any stage before or after your meeting with the…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) why waiting times have increased for patients with haemochromatosis requiring regular venesection; and (ii) what steps his Department is taking to ensure that patients receive timely and appropriate treatment to prevent complications.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail any discussions they had with the UK Government for mutual aid assistance in advance of Storm Éowyn.
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on the implementation of the 2024-25 National Joint Council national pay award for Housing Executive staff.
I intend to be relatively brief, given that many of the issues that we are discussing today are matters of public record and have been discussed many times, including the contents of the review report. It is, however, important to say that issues pertaining to the use of public money must be treated with the utmost…
Minister, you referred to NI Water and the fact that waste water infrastructure contributes to the blue-green algae that we see on Lough Neagh. Do you share the Minister for Infrastructure's assessment that the funding model for NI Water is sustainable and fit for purpose?
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the steps his Department is taking, along with all relevant agencies, to ensure Abercorn Primary School, Banbridge, is reopened as soon as possible following the impact of Storm Éowyn.
It is with genuine regret that I rise to address the issue of providing good character references in cases involving serious sexual offences, after it emerged over the weekend that Councillor Brian Tierney of the SDLP provided a reference for Kielan Mooney, a man convicted of rape at the Central Criminal Court in…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Collection and Recycling Scheme for Disposable Nappies”
Collection and Recycling Scheme for Disposable Nappies - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘concern’ and insert: ‘that disposable nappies and other absorbent hygiene products make up around 4 per cent of residual waste; welcomes the proposed new guidance for councils on expanding opportunities to recycle more materials,…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the rationale for his decision to reject an application by Bridge Integrated Primary School, Banbridge, to establish a nursery unit.
