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.

I thank the Member. Does he also share concern about the amendment's talking about taking "difficult decisions", which usually means closure and running down services? Will he express concern about it for that reason also?
Last week, the Minister for Communities removed intimidation points for victims of paramilitary-style violence. Minister, does your Department have any concern about the impact that that will have on people's safety and on their ability to live a life free from paramilitaries?
