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.
The Minister will be aware of Four G, which conducts a similar service in the Dundonald area for a number of boys and girls who fall into the category. Minister, there is a dearth of provision once special educational needs pupils hit 18. Will those young people be a priority for your Department, and what action will…
I thank the First Minister for that. Will she, the deputy First Minister and the Economy Minister undertake to take action? Will she outline the action that she will take to secure the integrity of the business?
Ms Bunting asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether, given that the media are reporting the potential sale of Spirit AeroSystems, they agree with group chairman, Sir Michael Ryan, who has said that any dismantling of the business would be extremely detrimental to the long-term future of Belfast…
The Minister will be aware that not everybody is willing to engage with the new bodies and that some innocent victims and their families have trust issues with the new arrangements. What reassurance can she give to those families that they and their cases will not be left behind?
I did not say that the motion was virtue signalling. I said that when addressing the issue, it was important not to virtue signal but to make points of substance. That was my point.
From the outset, let me state that abuse of a person, physically or verbally, because of a protected characteristic is serious and on the increase. We in the DUP are clear that crimes against persons due to their race, religion, disability, sexuality, gender or age are totally unacceptable. Frankly, I take the view…
This is a concerning situation, which, unfortunately, has resulted in reputational damage for the Minister, her Department and, indeed, the House. There were significant unintended consequences that were missed, despite all our collective procedures, because, in the last mandate, this institution was rushed and…
I will not. The Department of Justice's flexibility is extremely limited and the bulk of its Budget is allocated to inescapable pressures but it has sacrificed for Health. The justice system is already picking up the pressures from the Department of Health until it is almost at breaking point itself. At the Committee…
I am delighted to have secured the debate on an issue that is crucial particularly for but not restricted to my constituency of East Belfast. Towards the end of last year, Belfast Met launched a pre-consultation on the proposed closure of its Castlereagh campus. Castlereagh college, as it is known in our part of the…
Prisoner numbers have been at almost 2,000 for a sustained period. Current officer recruitment will only bring levels to that required for a population of 1,450, leaving officers and regimes under considerable strain. What can be done to expedite recruitment to bring officer numbers to the level appropriate for the…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the number of children of (i) primary school age; and (ii) post-primary school age that are currently on a waiting list for counselling services.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the number of social houses built since 2004 in (i) Belfast East; (ii) Belfast North; (iii) Belfast South; and (iv) Belfast West.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail what Equality Impact Assessment or Human Rights Assessment have been conducted on people living in temporary accommodation.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the number of children living in temporary accommodation who have been offered housing more than 35 miles from their current place of residence.
I welcome the Minister's announcement. Hearing it makes today a really important day for Northern Ireland. The Minister mentioned east Belfast in his statement. What additional information can he give us about such a project in east Belfast? I am also delighted to hear that Longstone School has been prioritised. Will…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) how much of the £75.3 million, allocated to her Department following the restoration of devolution, was received by the Northern Ireland Prison Service; (ii) for what purposes; and (iii) how much of such allocation went towards the 2023-24 pay award.
