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 being so generous with his time, but this is an important point. Does the Member believe for a second that organised crime gangs and the criminals who exploit young people care about the consequences for the young people from the criminal justice system? Does he also acknowledge that the…
Minister, surely you acknowledge that the number of people who presented to the Housing Executive is the mere tip of the iceberg and that many families, whilst not technically homeless, were fearful of remaining in their own homes? Surely you acknowledge that the community and voluntary sector stepped into that space.…
Last week, a frenzied knife attack left a man fighting for his life and our entire community reeling. I know that I speak for every Member when I say that my thoughts are with Stephen Ogilvie and his family. Despite that family's call for calm, however, their anguish has been exploited and weaponised by far-right and…
Mr Tennyson asked the Minister for Communities, in light of the race-based pogroms on our streets for the third year in a row, with members of our ethnic minority community burned and bullied out of their homes, why, given that he is the Minister responsible for addressing homelessness, we always rely on the community…
I condemn the vile and horrific incident that took place on the streets of north Belfast last night — streets where people should feel safe and families should feel secure. That incident has undoubtedly and understandably caused huge distress and anxiety amongst our community. My immediate thoughts are with the victim…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any measures her Department plans to put in place to facilitate the reopening of the Maple Path and Parkmore footbridges, Craigavon.
Thank you, Minister, for the statement. It is definitely a positive development. You have already outlined some of the benefits of the spending in tranche 1. Are we likely to see any financial savings, and when are we likely to see those as a result of that investment?
I thank the Member for giving way. I agree that there should be robust cooperation between the Irish Government and the UK Government, but will the Member explain how throwing out the joint framework — the first agreement between the two Governments in over a decade — would achieve that?
I thank the Member for giving way. I agree with much of what he has said so far, but does he recognise that there is a commitment from the Irish Government in the joint framework to investigate all unresolved Troubles incidents? It is so important that we hold them to that framework.
Mr Beattie said that we would all look at this issue through different prisms. There is only one prism that any Member should be viewing this issue through: the prism of victims and survivors. One of the most profound failures in our politics has been the failure to deliver a comprehensive legacy process for victims…
Minister, just a matter of months ago, your party colleague stood alongside me and campaigners from Ladies with Letters on the steps of Stormont calling for a full statutory public inquiry. Your party also voted in November in favour of a statutory public inquiry. Do you accept that it was wrong to raise hopes and…
I thank the leader of the Opposition for giving way. Just to clarify, nowhere in my or Paula Bradshaw's remarks did we say that this was divisive or tribal. We said that the motion comes with a predetermined outcome, and the conversation that we want to be part of is putting some meat on the bones and testing what the…
I thank the Member for giving way. We were cast as irrelevant in the debate: will the Member agree that many of the people who vote Alliance will be decisive in the outcome of any future referendum and that maybe Mr McCrossan should not be so complacent and should show our voters some respect?
Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. I rise to move the amendment standing in the name of the Alliance Party. At the outset, I reaffirm that Alliance is proudly a cross-community party that does not define itself around the constitutional question. We are proud to represent people from a broad range of backgrounds and…
Failure to Commission a Statutory Inquiry into the Cervical Screening Scandal That this Assembly condemns the decision of the Minister of Health not to commission a statutory inquiry into failings in cervical screening in the Southern Health and Social Care Trust; commends the campaigning of the Ladies With Letters…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “The Irish Government’s Failure to Cooperate on Legacy Cases”
The Irish Government’s Failure to Cooperate on Legacy Cases - Amendment 3 Leave out all after ‘Assembly’ and insert: ‘regrets the human rights concerns that have led to the Irish Government’s decision not to cooperate with the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery; notes the pain and…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Change on these Islands”
Change on these Islands - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘recent polling’ and insert: ‘suggesting that, if a referendum were to be held today, a majority of people in Northern Ireland would vote to rejoin the European Union; affirms the process for managing constitutional issues as set out in the Good Friday…
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on any progress made on the new build on Mandeville Road for Portadown Integrated Nursery and Primary School.
