Mr Gerry Carroll: Assembly records
All of Mr Gerry Carroll’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Thank you, Minister, for that and I look forward to that further communication. Concerns have, I am sure, been raised with you and the Department by people who live in the area and are affected by the site as well as by environmental campaigners. Are you willing to meet them with me to explore solutions and hear those…
I thank the Member for giving way. Will the Member indicate whether all the anti-immigration protests that he has attended over the past two or so years were notified protests and whether he engaged in any road blocking?
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. You know that that is not what I said. I implore to you to encourage the Member for North Belfast to retract that lie and scurrilous remark.
I thank the Member for giving way. Does she share my concern about the attempt to describe what happened as having all been the work of outsiders when, in fact, a large number of Garvaghy Road residents were on the Garvaghy Road, first on the Saturday and Sunday and then throughout the two weeks? Is that her…
I begin by paying tribute to the Garvaghy Road residents and the community and the tens of thousands of people from across Ireland who came out to support them. They are not a rabble; they are not a mob: they are good, decent people. For 28 years, residents were told that a march would come back one day and that there…
I have said several times that no Minister, including the AERA Minister, is beyond reproach. Repeatedly, I have said that the approach adopted by the Executive and the Minister to Lough Neagh in particular has been pretty disastrous and hands-off. Lough Neagh, it is worth reminding ourselves, supplies 40% of our…
Minister, you are well aware that the health trusts have been told to make cuts of 4% every year for three years, which, the unions have said, will cost the jobs of porters and cleaners. At the same time, the highest paid director of the strategic planning and performance group (SPPG) has had a £40,000 pay rise in two…
First Minister, like you, I was proud to stand with the residents of the Garvaghy Road during the past week. It is worth reminding ourselves that, less than a year ago, the majority of MLAs in the Chamber voted that the Education Minister had failed to uphold the Pledge of Office over his Israeli Government-funded…
I thank the deputy First Minister for that answer. Two is a small number of Palestinian children given the scale of destruction meted out to them by the Israeli state. As you said, those are children who were injured in a war, a war carried out by Netanyahu and the genocidal Israeli state. Minister, will you give a…
When I initially wrote my comments, I wrote that it had been a long day, but it has obviously been a long few days over two weeks. I pay tribute to the Bill sponsor for proposing the Bill and, like others, staying throughout the debate. People have waited a long time for conversion therapy to be outlawed, so,…
Minister, is it important to defend the principle of the right to peaceful protest, including that of people on the Garvaghy Road, given what may happen in the coming days and weeks? Is that an important principle to defend?
Thank you, Minister. I heard you — if you did not say it, I will take it back — compare a legal protest about racism to the Garvaghy Road. If you did not make that comparison —.
I am making the point. I do not care what people call me, but I question whether it is moderate or temperate language to refer to the people of the Garvaghy Road. I remind Members that the great socialist James Connolly once said: "All hail, then, to the mob, the incarnation of progress!"
Mr Speaker, it was said often that the Members who took part in Sunday's demonstration were part of a mob. Frankly, I do not care what people call me —.
I stood on the Garvaghy Road on Saturday night, and I was back again for most of Sunday, standing shoulder to shoulder with residents. I commend other parties and MLAs who did so, including the First Minister. I will tell the House what I saw. I saw elderly men and women who lived through 1997 refuse to be moved off…
I extend my condolences to the family, friends and party colleagues of Paul Butler, a republican who was held in high regard not only by his colleagues but by other organisations and across the political spectrum of republicanism and more broadly. I knew of Paul when he was an MLA for Lagan Valley. I read a lot of his…
Thank you, Minister. I welcome some of that, but I did not pick up you saying that you are opposed to the cuts. If you did, I apologise. Maybe you can clarify your position. There is concern about hospitality workers and low-paid workers getting home late at night. I am sure that you know that Translink's equality…
Ba mhaith liom labhairt i leith an Bhille seo, ní hamháin mar ionadaí d'Iarthar Bhéal Feirste, ach mar thuismitheoir, agus páistí agam féin atá ag gabháil don Ghaeloideachas. Chím tionchar cruálach Stormont ar an phleanáil, ar acmhainní agus ar thacaíocht a chur ar fáil d’earnáil na Gaelscolaíochta, chím sin achan lá…
Will the Member elaborate on why he thinks that it is the business of a sports coach, regardless of whether it is GAA, football or rugby, to change a member of a club's sexuality?
