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.
Do not get carried away. I have not spoken yet. George Orwell was referenced. Members would do well to read 'Homage to Catalonia', because there are a few lessons in that book for some in the House. The digital ID scheme was proposed by the British Government in a supposed attempt to curb illegal immigration, although…
Thank you, Minister. Support for something is one thing; concrete action is another. Minister, you will know that there is growing frustration at the snail's pace at which movement on an EPA's being established is happening. Will you give a guarantee to the House, environmentalists and people who are interested in…
I will make a few brief comments. The irony should be lost on nobody that health and social care (HSC) workers had to fight tooth and nail for pay parity just to secure a below-inflation pay increase of 3·6%. By contrast, the Independent Remuneration Board will likely recommend a pay increase of much more than that…
I thank the Member for raising the Matter of the Day. Given how turbulent the world has been over the last 14 or so years, it has been really important to have a figurehead in the Irish state who has stood tall with principles that have helped us carve out a better, fairer and more just world. Given that the familial…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail when their Department will respond to the letter sent by the Accountability Project, to Ministers, on 29 September 2025.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the number of times the Enterprise train service from Belfast to Dublin (i) was delayed; (ii) was cancelled; and (iii) did not leave the station, in the last 12 months.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the number of sales, under the Housing Executive's House Sales Scheme, in each of the last 5 years, broken down by constituency area.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) the number of children in households impacted by the two-child limit; and (ii) the number of children not eligible for the additional child element, since its introduction.
I thank the Member for giving way. I said both things in my comments. I said that he should not have gone to Israel and that doing so should be enough for him to go from office, but I also stated that he broke the ministerial code and blurred the lines when it came to actions that he should not have taken as a…
As others have said, today really shows the absurdity and the lack of accountability that we have in the House when it comes to holding Ministers to account. We had a democratic vote encompassing several parties, with a majority of MLAs — 47 — voting for a motion of no confidence in a Minister, while 33 voted against,…
Minister, it is better to break the stringent, out-of-date fiscal rules than to break working-class communities. I asked this question before in the Finance Committee and got a mixed answer, so I would appreciate it if you could bring some clarity for me: can you outline how much of an overspend Departments can enter…
Like the Member for Lagan Valley and other Members, I was contacted over the weekend by EOTAS workers who are concerned about the EA's announcement of the suspension of referrals to their provision. Workers are furious about that decision. Minister, have you carried out any assessment of how it will affect vulnerable…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Is it right and fitting for the Member to repeat things that are categorically untrue — Mr Buckley has done it once again — such as that I am antisemitic. That is a slur and a lie, and he should withdraw that remark right now.
I beg to move It is clear that the Minister of Education has lost the confidence of the majority of parties and MLAs in the House. I thank the parties who have supported the motion today — Sinn Féin, the SDLP and Alliance, as well as the independent MLA, Claire Sugden. The Minister has lost the support of tens of…
To ask the Minister of Health for his assessment of strengthening inspection frameworks to include monitoring of quality-of-life outcomes and safeguarding measures beyond paperwork compliance, for adults with learning disabilities in domiciliary care settings.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the number of occasions he, or his officials, have met with representatives of the Israeli government, or military, in each of the last two years.
