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.
To ask the Minister of Health, in relation to the Truth Recovery Programme, why the full implementation of interim instructions on access to records has not been completed.
The Finance Minister is today effectively asking us to endorse a new round of Tory-mandated austerity. Once again, the Executive are allowing themselves to be constrained and directed by a Government who are intent on destroying our public services and imposing a fresh round of pay cuts on public-sector workers. When…
I thank the Minister for her answer. Minister, you will be aware from the Horizon scandal that that company has destroyed people's lives across these islands and driven some to suicide. We have to ask serious questions about Fujitsu and companies like it. The scandal has been known about for many years. I suggest that…
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I extend my condolences to the family and friends of Josip Štrok, a 31-year-old Croatian man who was brutally murdered by racist thugs in Clondalkin in Dublin a few days ago. I also extend my thoughts and solidarity to David Druzinac, who was beaten unconscious by the same gang. That tragic…
To ask the Minister of Health (i) for his assessment of any disparity of neonatal deaths in Black and Asian infants; and (ii) how his Department plans to address this.
To ask the Minister of Health whether he plans to facilitate the recovery of drug and alcohol users through the provision of public addiction rehabilitation centres.
To ask the Minister of Education (i) whether he is aware of any shortfall in the number of exam markers with fluency in the Irish language; and (ii) what action he will take to address any shortfall.
I appreciate the Member giving way. The Member's colleague said that the motion does not mention mutualisation, but it does. How does his party respond to the Minister's point about mutualisation leading directly to water charges? How does his party square that, given the motion? The Alliance Party's manifesto in 2022…
The decision to turn NI Water into a company has been an unmitigated disaster. People warned that it would allow Stormont to underfund the service and open the door to privatisation and, potentially, water charges. Years of savage cuts to NI Water are wreaking havoc at every turn. The parties that imposed those cuts…
I thank the Member for giving way. I agree with her point about bigotry coming from the same well, but is she also concerned, as I am, that, according to the last stats that I saw, racism is outstripping sectarianism and seems to be even more problematic than some people might believe?
I stress to the Minister that the process needs to be sped up. Those workers have been waiting for six years for the funding to be released. It is completely unacceptable that Ministers, including the Education Minister, got a wage increase and are on £90K a year, when those workers — bus drivers, classroom…
I thank the Minister for his answer. St Gerard's is a great school. I declare an interest: I have a family member who works there. The parents whose kids go to St Gerard's cannot speak highly enough of it, but it is criminally under-resourced and bursting at the seams. People are literally queuing to send their…
What kind of horror will it take for the Executive to condemn Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza? Over 33,000 people are dead, with eight being killed every hour. Generations upon generations of Palestinian families have been wiped out, and their memories, cultures, hopes and dreams are gone. Israel is systematically…
Mr Carroll asked the Minister of Education whether he has submitted a bid, either to the Finance Minister or the Executive, for the funds for a pay and grading review for Education Authority workers.
To ask the Minister of Health what funding will be put in place for community organisations and charities providing mental health services, including counselling.
Supporting the Residents of the Victoria Square Apartments That this Assembly notes the distress, disruption, and financial difficulties faced by the residents of the defective Victoria Square apartments; agrees that residents should not be forced to pay for the mistakes of developers or for poor planning decisions;…
