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.
If you look up "hames" in the dictionary, you will see a picture of this Bill and an account of how it has been handled by this Minister, the previous Minister and the Executive as a whole.

The Minister will be aware that there have been wildfires in the Black Mountain area in my constituency over the past few years. How will his strategy and action plan take that area and other mountainous locations into consideration?
I declare that I am a past pupil of Ulster University — there may be some of its students in the Gallery today — and a former sabbatical officer of its students' union. We have to say unequivocally that Ulster University management's proposal to sack 450 workers is a mistaken, ill-thought-out and regressive move. I…
