All of Mr Gerry Carroll’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I support the motion. As Members have said, we should be horrified and outraged that 42 women have been murdered in the North in the past eight years. It should be a source of shame for the Executive that no meaningful progress has been made on tackling gender-based violence,…
I am raising the issue of tenancy succession for Housing Executive tenants. In recent days, I have been contacted at my office by multiple West Belfast residents who are being evicted after suffering a family bereavement. That is completely unfair and counterproductive. The Housing Executive has been dragging its…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the reasons why the clean up of the Mobuoy illegal dump has not been included in the draft Programme for Government.

Unacceptable ambulance waiting times and a lack of capacity in the Ambulance Service are terminal symptoms of a health and social care system on the brink of collapse. It is, quite literally, a matter of life and death. The longer a patient waits outside an emergency department, the more likely they are to experience…
Minister, I appreciate the answer and the fact that this is a reserved matter, but I will come back to you on some of it. You will probably have a view on it, and, given the fact that 10,000 people here are affected by the issue, I would like to tease that out. Decriminalising drugs has proven to reduce addiction and…
Having a regulatory framework to ensure that medicines are made near the patient, at the point of care, is important, and it is essential in many cases. It is important to have personalised manufactured products near the point of care owing to the nature of diseases and, as the Minister said, the short shelf life that…
The Minister's comments about classroom assistants were a bit concerning, in that it sounds like we are moving away from them. It even sounds as though we are making the case for fewer classroom assistants at a time when SEN workers are overstretched and overworked. Will the reform agenda involve the pausing or…
Mr Carroll asked the Minister of Justice whether, given that it was revealed in an answer to a question for written answer that some 10,000 people were prosecuted for the personal possession of cannabis over the past five years, that is an adequate and good use of Department of Justice resources.

Ambulance Waiting Times - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘proposals’ and insert: ‘to improve and increase the availability and capacity of the Ambulance Service, including the development of an Ambulance Service workforce plan, to support the new Clinical Response Model and to commit to ending the privatisation of…
