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.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, pursuant to AQW 16526/22-27, for his assessment of whether the actual emissions of greenhouse gases from landfills, including illegal dumps, will be significantly higher than the estimated 580.1 kilotonnes as outlined in his answer.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether the review of his Department’s Memorandum of Understanding with the Ulster Farmers' Union will include a reassessment of the commitment for the NIEA to give 14 days’ notice of a farmyard inspection.
As we have heard, the Audit Office found that only 26 of 42 recommendations from the RHI inquiry report have been implemented more than four years after its conclusion and at a cost of tens of millions of pounds to the taxpayer, and that, based on the action to date, it is unlikely that all the inquiry's…
I wonder how far the £1·3 million will go, given the prevalence of debt in our communities. Will the Minister clarify whether that money includes training for new staff? In light of his announcement, how will he ensure that people get access to independent advice, including supporting people who may not feel…
I appreciate the Member giving way. On the theme of facts, facts, facts that the Minister alluded to, does the Member think that people may have gathered the Minister's intention on the basis of the list of schools that were deemed eligible put on the Department of Education website by the Minister's staff and team?…
Minister, do you have any indication that there will be money to mitigate or reinstate the winter fuel payment or to mitigate or abolish the two-child tax limit?
The Minister has failed to explain his rationale for using new methodologies to define, identify and measure deprivation and educational underachievement. Under the new RAISE indicators, we see grammar and fee-paying schools in the lists of those eligible for funding. It is notable that the indicative list of eligible…
The horrifying scenes that are coming out of Valencia and the wider region, where people are fleeing for their lives after flash floods have occurred, are a glimpse into our future if Governments do not act to prevent climate change. I want to express my heartfelt sympathy to and solidarity with the families of the,…
To ask the Minister of Health whether he plans to update guidance on the transformation and reconfiguration of services to ensure that co-production is mandatory.
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQT 656/22-27 answered during Question Time on 15 October 2024, (i) to detail where the £200 million of savings have been made across the Health and Social Care Trusts; and (ii) for his assessment of the impact of these savings on patient care and safety.
To ask the Minister of Finance to detail why the Department for Justice's request for additional resource through the transformation bid for the Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy was not agreed.
The killing of 10 innocent people in the Kingsmills massacre almost 50 years ago was wrong, sectarian and should be condemned outright. The families who lost loved ones and the sole survivor of the attack all deserve justice, and they all deserve to receive an accurate account of what happened on that awful night and…
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I welcome the debate and thank the Members who contributed to it. Members raised important points on many issues, including empty buildings and the pedestrianisation — I had to say that slowly — of city and town centres. Different issues were raised about rates, some of which…
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Under our current system, our city and town centres are carved up by private property, and property rights dominate all the claims to our shared spaces. However, if we are serious about recognising the importance of our city and town centres and our high streets as the social…
Thank you, Minister. It has been reported that the Loyalist Community Council (LCC), which the Education Minister and you recently met, has raised opposition to Scoil na Seolta in east Belfast. Given the ongoing intimidation, attacks and whipping up of sectarianism against the school and those who use it, will you…
Minister, for some time, mutualisation and privatisation have been wrongly touted as being the solutions to our very real water, infrastructure and housing problems. Will the change to the borrowing rules for capital investment that you announced mean that there will be extra public money to properly fix our water…
It is a bit rich to attack workers who have every right to withdraw their labour and take strike action to defend access to justice for everyone. If criminal barristers are not being fairly remunerated for legal aid work or are experiencing delays, we will potentially lose them to more profitable fields of law.…
