Minister, in your statement last week, you noted that 74% of legal aid expenditure went to just 22% of criminal defence counsel. What more can be done by all involved to ensure that funds and work are being better distributed?
I thank the Minister for her statement to the House. My question is on a similar theme. Minister, you referred to work by Waterways Ireland to transition its operations fleet to hydrotreated vegetable oil. Has there been an assessment of the long-term sustainability and cost of that practice, given the pace of change…
Tackling Motor Insurance Costs for Young Drivers That this Assembly expresses alarm that Northern Ireland recorded the highest increase in young driver insurance costs in the United Kingdom in the final quarter of 2025; notes that Northern Ireland is the second most expensive region in the United Kingdom for young…
Minister, there are significant disparities in the operation of council planning functions, a fact that is raised repeatedly by the Northern Ireland Audit Office and the interim commission. What can be done to ensure greater efficiency and sharing of best practice across the 11 councils?
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the rationale behind the disposal of unopened medication within care homes when the medication is no longer required following the patients death.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline any action she is taking to address youth unemployment to ensure that young people have access to the skills and opportunities needed for long-term economic stability.
Christmas is a time of warmth, hope and togetherness, as families are reunited and the busyness of life subsides for a brief moment. Sadly, however, the Christmas period is often a time of great tragedy in our communities. Unfortunately, last Christmas was no different. The sudden death of Mr Callum McVeigh from my…
To ask the Minister of Justice to outline the actions her Department will take to resolve the dispute over Crown Court legal aid fees to ensure the criminal justice system can properly function.
I thank the Minister for his statement. I see a bid from DFI relating to the Ballynahinch bypass, but I have not, as yet, seen it on the list of awards. Will you update the House on that priority project, which, hopefully, is due to start soon?
As we move towards Christmas and the focus of many turns to the Christmas story of the Christ child of Bethlehem's manger, I pause to remember the many babes conceived in recent months whose lives have been cut short as a result of the practice of abortion. I was saddened to see that, between April 2024 and March…
Thank you for your answer. It is vital that everyone can access the estate. Does the Commission have any plans to assess whether the current number of disabled parking bays is adequate?
I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, how will the Department ensure that the new standards will be applied fairly and proportionately across all farm types?
Mr Harvey asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline the support that will be made available to those small and medium-sized farms that, following the launch of the farm sustainability standards regulations, are struggling to meet the new environmental and welfare compliance…
I welcome the statement by the Minister. Minister, you have elaborated about road safety, and I had the privilege of attending the launch of your drug-driving advertising campaign last week, which was also attended by Road Safe NI and The Road Ahead NI. On research and innovation, will you elaborate a wee bit more…
I thank the Minister for his statement. Minister, can you provide some clarity on whether you are engaging with the Treasury on the design of a scheme to ensure that Northern Ireland households get the benefits of energy cost reductions?
I thank my party colleague and fellow Strangford MLA Michelle McIlveen for securing this important Adjournment debate. For many years, she has worked tirelessly to raise the issue of traffic flow across Newtownards, and I pay tribute to her for continuing to battle the Department on the matter. Anyone who lives and…
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Multi-year budgeting has long been called for in the House. It would be difficult for anyone to deny the obvious benefits that it would bring to the functioning of government as a whole and of individual Departments. Many points have been eloquently made in the debate, but,…
Minister, in recent days, some schools have been unsure about whether they have been acting lawfully by continuing with school assemblies. Can you confirm that teachers can continue with assemblies and that they are within the law in doing so?
