Mr Eóin Tennyson: Assembly records
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.
To ask the Minister for Communities when he will issue a formal response to the Study of Conversion Practices in Northern Ireland, published in May 2024.
To ask the Minister of Finance, further to the Interim Fiscal Framework, how her Department intends to provide independent evidence to Treasury in relation to the needs-based factor.
Much water has passed under the bridge since the EU referendum in 2016. Indeed, the story of much of the past eight years has been about trying to find the means by which Northern Ireland can live with the outworkings of Brexit. In navigating the myriad of challenges thrown up by leaving the EU, the fact remains that…
The Alliance Party supports the introduction of no-fault divorce, as committed to in our 2022 Assembly manifesto, and welcomes the opportunity to debate the issue. The existing procedure and law managing divorce and the dissolution of civil partnerships is not fit for purpose and is in clear need of updating. The…
I am grateful to the Minister for that answer. In GB, a computer system automatically flags when a carer exceeds their weekly earnings cap. Do we have a similar system here, and, if so, is it working properly?
Forgive me if I missed it, Minister, but I am not sure that you have answered the question. Will we see a ban on conversion therapy in your Department's legislative programme, and when can we expect to see that legislation in the House?
Mr Tennyson asked the Minister for Communities to state why his Department does not intervene earlier to prevent recipients of carer’s allowance from accumulating significant overpayment debt after breaching their weekly earnings cap.
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Veterinary Medicines”
Veterinary Medicines - Amendment 2 Leave out all after ‘calls on’ insert: ‘the UK Government and the European Union to urgently arrive at a UK-EU veterinary medicines agreement.’
As other Members have said, whilst this is primarily a reserved matter, I welcome the opportunity to debate this important topic, which has been a leading contributor to the rising cost of living. All of us in the Chamber will have been contacted by constituents about rising costs, with some facing car insurance…
Again, I rise to very briefly put on record the Alliance Party's support for the proposed rule, which will reinstate the micro policy of applying a rates exemption to ATMs in designated rural areas. Like the previous order that we debated, this is an example of a policy that lapsed in the absence of an Assembly, and,…
I echo the support for the order and the reinstatement of the Back in Business scheme. As others have said, it is a relatively small but, nonetheless, significant policy intervention that will help to support the reinvigoration of our high streets and town centres into busy and vibrant hubs. It should, of course, be…
I thank the Minister for his statement. What assurances can he give around the quality of the homes that will be brought forward for intermediate rent? For example, can he give us assurances that the homes will not require an expensive retrofit at a future date?
Prompt Payment in Public Sector Contracts That this Assembly acknowledges the severe difficulties faced by sub-contractors to public sector contracts, from both central and local government, caused by late payments; recognises the reasonable expectation that all contractors, including sub-contractors, should be paid…
The hospitality sector is a vital part of our economy. Hospitality UK estimates that our local hospitality sector employs 74,000 people and contributes in the region of £1·9 billion to our local economy, yet those businesses are at the thin edge of an economic wedge that is not of their making. Having weathered the…
I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. She will be aware of calls from victim support organisations for an extension to the deadline for applications for backdated payments. Does she support that call? What representations has she made to the UK Government to that effect?
Independent Environmental Protection Agency - Amendment 3 At end insert: ‘; and further calls on the Executive to urgently approve the Environmental Improvement Plan for Northern Ireland.’
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Devolution of VAT for Hospitality”
Devolution of VAT for Hospitality - Amendment 1 After ‘devolution of VAT for hospitality’ insert: 'and an independent review of non-domestic rate reliefs'
Financial assistance after flooding is one side of the equation. Will the Minister outline any engagement that she has had with the Minister for Infrastructure around flood prevention and alleviation schemes?
To ask the Minister of Health, in order to assist with waiting list reductions in Northern Ireland, whether he plans to reopen the Republic of Ireland Reimbursement Scheme.
