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 of Education, pursuant to AQW 32506/22-27, for an updated timeline as to when construction works will commence for the extension and nursery unit of Lurgan Model Integrated Primary School.
Like others, I welcome the opportunity to reflect on the Finance Committee's report on the draft Budget, although it is incredibly disappointing, as others have reflected, that we do so in the absence of agreement on a Budget more than a month into the new financial year. That delay is creating uncertainty and…
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) any assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of existing funding and support structures for talent identification and high performance athletes; and (ii) whether any consideration is being given to strengthening pathways and financial support to retain and…
I thank the Member for giving way. He says that he will support amendment No 5, but he did not reference amendment No 4 in his remarks. Ostensibly, amendment Nos 4 and 5 are trying to achieve the same thing. The proposer of amendment No 5 and I have been pretty magnanimous in supporting the other's position. Will the…
I, like others, welcome the opportunity to contribute to the Consideration Stage of the Fiscal Council Bill. I welcome the progress that has been made on the Bill to date and the steps that have been taken towards placing the Fiscal Council on a statutory and permanent footing, following the New Decade, New Approach…
To ask the Minister of Health whether the six-month pilot of 33 interpreting devices in the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust will be rolled out across all Health and Social Care Trusts.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 37885/22-27, whether (i) the design for the Bannfoot Footbridge Bridge has been approved; and (ii) any stakeholders will be consulted on the new design.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the amount of money allocated to community organisations in the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area from the Northern Ireland Community Infrastructure Fund.
I find it remarkable, Minister, that, when questions are asked about perceived conflicts of interest, you reach for the sectarianism card. I find that quite remarkable. What potential conflicts were identified and what steps did you take to manage them? Did you consider recusing yourself from the process? Did you ask…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. There is no doubt that households, businesses, farmers, hauliers, domiciliary care workers and many others in our society are working themselves to the bone and are under enormous pressure as a direct consequence of Donald Trump's illegal war in Iran — a war that was foolishly cheerled by…
Mr Tennyson asked the Minister for the Economy, after noting that, in recent weeks, she has come under scrutiny for ignoring official advice to not go on a visit to the US that was organised by a company that is linked to her former party colleague Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, who was subsequently appointed by her to the…
On behalf of the Alliance Party, I support the Second Stage of the Marriage and Civil Partnership Bill. I look forward to supporting the Bill through its legislative stages over the remainder of the mandate. The Bill has been a long time coming, given that it was first consulted on in 2021 and 2022, albeit an abeyance…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Response to the Cost-of-living Crisis”
Response to the Cost-of-living Crisis - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘lie with the British Government,’ and insert: ‘and the Executive has now agreed an enhanced support package for homes relying on heating oil, the delayed response from the Minister for Communities and Minister for the Economy has increased the…
Does the Member agree that confidence is really important if we are to make any progress on the wider SEN reform and the agenda that the Minister says he wants to prioritise?
I beg to move Thank you, Mr Speaker. Over the past week, families of children with special educational needs have been put through a disgraceful and entirely avoidable ordeal. The decision to cancel summer schemes at special schools, only for it to be reversed fewer than 24 hours later, has caused widespread distress,…
Cancellation of Summer Schemes in Special Schools That this Assembly expresses grave concern that the Education Authority has announced the cancellation of summer schemes in special schools in 2026 due to concerns about healthcare provision for participating children; recognises that these schemes provide a lifeline…
