Mr Gerry Kelly: Assembly records
All of Mr Gerry Kelly’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a fhreagraí go dtí seo. You announced that the matter will go out for consultation. Do you have a view on the impact that raising vacant property rates would have?
I thank the Minister for his statement. Accountability and implementation have been mentioned a number of times. The test in all of this will be the speed of implementation. I declare an interest, in that my sister Peggy, who was next in the family to me, spent time in Muckamore many years ago. I mention that because,…
Go raibh maith agat. Sinn Féin supports all three of the amendments in group five. As we know, amendment Nos 74 and 75 will introduce new powers to allow the police do drug testing at checkpoints and road traffic collisions, which will bring drug testing in line with existing alcohol breath testing. It is a necessary…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra. Given the serious staffing and resource pressures that Irish-medium schools face, does the Minister understand why many people see his proposal of an AI lead as little more than a Google Translate solution, instead of properly investing in the sector, and how that…
First, the Irish Government have not cooperated with the ICRIR because it is not article 2-compliant, as former Irish Government Justice Minister Helen McEntee outlined. Secondly, following the 2023 Tory legacy legislation, there was no reciprocal agreement with the Irish Government on legacy matters such as…
It is no surprise where the Member is coming from, given his history, but to deny that there was collusion is completely erroneous. As he said, Mr Justice Scoffield said that the reports should not be withdrawn and should stand but should state that the ombudsman had exceeded her powers. OK, but let us be honest here.…
I think that we will get everybody in agreement here. Although my colleague Carál said that she did not want to go through some of the statistics, it is worth bringing them up. I will go through some of that, but I will keep within your parameters, Mr Deputy Speaker. All Members — not just those who are here — are…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht an fhreagra sin. First, I welcome the fact that that land has been found and handed over. Has the North City Business Centre got any early plans for how it will maximise the use of the new land for the benefit of the local community?
Let me contradict you: there is agreement that Casement Park will be built. The fact that you mentioned the money that has been put forward for Casement to be built is evidence of that. Let me ask you that simple question in another way: do you believe that the stadium that has been talked about should be built at…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a freagra. As I think the Minister is saying, the links between domestic abuse and suicide are well established. I argue that there is still a case for expanding domestic homicide reviews to include deaths by suicide. The real argument that the Minister has given is about resource.…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a fhreagra. I, too, know that a lot of great work is being done around Cave Hill. Will the Minister provide assurances that the Belfast hills will be enhanced by that funding and safeguarded against further environmental damage? Will he outline some long-term protections that could be…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an leasChéad Aire as a freagra. Does she accept — she did not answer the question — that the families of those killed and injured on Bloody Sunday are, like all other victims, fully entitled to truth and justice? Will she answer my question about what her party leader said last week?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra. To put it in context, there is a storm warning for tomorrow. Minister, you will be aware of the recently reported situation in which 11 people from Belfast were not provided with accommodation during the recent cold spell in early January. I note that you have…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. I welcome reports that, in December, the footfall increased by 31% from 2024. I also welcome the success of the late-night transport services, as the Minister mentioned. Will those measures feature in the Department's vision for the eastern transport plan 2035, as it is developed?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a fhreagraí go dtí seo. The Minister knows that this is much wider than a data breach. I think that he pointed out at the beginning that the police are vastly under-resourced. Can the Minister outline what steps he is taking to support the Justice Minister and Chief Constable's call…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra — — I think. The Minister has been in post for 18 months, and, as yet, we have no date for the language strategy for the North. I can tell you that Gaeilgeoirí across the North are getting very frustrated and concerned that it will not come at all. Can he give a firm…
Minister, as was mentioned by the previous Member who spoke, intimidation points were done away with in, I think, March. I agree that they were being abused, but, in situations such as the recent case, in which it is obvious that there was intimidation — indeed, the police have said that the UDA was involved in such…
While I understand that the PSNI also requires mutual aid to come here on occasion, the sight of the PSNI being used to arrest peaceful protesters in London at the weekend has given rise to deep concern. That is especially so given that senior members of the Conservative and Labour parties are talking of increasing…
Consensus has broken out, so I will keep this short. There were a couple of points that I really wanted to make, but some of them have already been made. I thank Phillip Brett for bringing the topic to the Chamber. It is opportune. Planning permission was granted in 2020 for what was sold as a £500 million…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chéad-Aire as an fhreagra sin. I think that the First Minister has already alluded to this, but will she do everything that she can to continue to commit to supporting the development of the Irish language? There is much more to do.
