Ms Joanne Bunting: Assembly records
All of Ms Joanne Bunting’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I rise to acknowledge the historic four-day visit of the Royal Navy's flagship aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth to Belfast. Seeing that truly magnificent vessel, which is a titan of British engineering, standing proud against the Belfast skyline was phenomenal, as was borne out by the many — my husband included —…
Exclusion of the First Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that the First Minister no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly because, by participating in the unlawful protest on the Garvaghy…

I am grateful to the Member for her question. We understand the seriousness of the issue. The Member will be aware that issues around domestic abuse also factor into the Department of Justice. The deputy First Minister indicated in an earlier answer that letters of offer have gone out. That applies to those engaged in…
With your permission, Mr Speaker, I will answer questions 5 and 12 together. I may need slightly more than the allocated two minutes to give a wholesome answer to the Members. Ending violence against women and girls is an Executive priority and a key part of our Programme for Government. Our first two-year delivery…
I beg to move It is not an exaggeration to say that today is a momentous day. It is an honour and a privilege for me to move the Final Stage of this important legislation on behalf of the First Minister and the deputy first Minister, junior Minister Reilly and, indeed, the Executive. Before turning to the detail of…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Is it right for the Member to infer that I could not give such a guarantee when he knows well that all of that is based on decisions of this House? It is not for me to pre-empt decisions of the House on what a consultation might be and what Members might approve or otherwise. It would…
I thank the Member for giving way. The Member reflected on correcting the record about the Exceptional Further Consideration Stage. In my time here, which dates back to 1998, the Exceptional Further Consideration Stage has happened once, as I recall. I stand to be corrected, but I recall that it has happened once. It…
Thank you, Mr Speaker. This group of amendments addresses important and sensitive issues, and I begin by again recognising the lived experience of all those affected, some of whom are with us in the Public Gallery today. Further, I commend Members on the tenor of the debate, given the extremely sensitive nature of the…
I am grateful to the Member for giving way. In light of the things that he has said, does he accept that part of the reason for having the inquiry was to get to the bottom of what happened in the workhouses so that there could be an evidence base and we could take the matter forward from there? The inquiry will inform…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. My remarks on the group will be brief. Before I sit down, I pay tribute to the victims and survivors in the Gallery and thank them for their courage and attendance today, as well as for sharing their lived experiences, some of which have been incredibly harrowing and difficult to hear. I…
I appreciate the Member's intervention. It allows me to clarify. We raised that issue at our meeting with the Health Minister, and there are difficulties, because some of those records are still used in current-day circumstances around adoption. To centralise them all could cause difficulty for people who are…
It is not about TEO trying to narrow anything. As I indicated, posthumous dates are standard in redress schemes; they are absolutely standard. Where there is an issue is in landing on the right date. I will come to the issue of the records. The reason why I raised it in that context was to do with sensitivity and…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am grateful to Members for their contributions to the debate and for the considered way in which, and tone with which, the amendments have been debated. This has been and continues to be a deeply sensitive and important piece of work. It is right that the Assembly has taken the time to…
Just before the Member sits down, may I ask for clarity on a point that she asked for clarity from me on, just so that I can address it in the course of my winding-up speech? It might be beneficial to the House. The Member raised the issue of looking for clarity around "blockage". Will she reiterate that point so that…
