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.
This is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it was a true joy to attend Cancer Focus' Pink Run yesterday. Well done and congratulations to all who were involved in that. Today, I commemorate those who fought bravely and lost; congratulate those who have come out the other side; pay tribute and give heart to those who…
I will outline some aspects. The research has been commissioned to identify evidence gaps, as the Member outlined, in understanding attitudes and behaviours of men and boys in the subject area. The research will focus on boys and young men aged 16 to 24. The research process is under way and includes engagement with…
I thank the Member for asking that important question. The Power to Change campaign is really important, because it urges men and boys to play their part in effecting a cultural and societal shift. That cannot be done by women and girls alone. It challenges men and boys to check and change unwanted behaviours and…
I fully appreciate where the Member is coming from, but it is abundantly clear that the Executive take the issue seriously. Although the strategy sits with TEO, it has been agreed by the entire Executive, and there are indeed regular updates. There are also oversight bodies to which other Ministers contribute. I…
By way of context, the framework is based on four themes with six outcomes, eight guiding principles and 19 priority areas. It sits alongside an initial two-year delivery plan comprising 14 actions, all of which are progressing well. We are determined to do everything that we can to stop the harm and abuse faced by…
I am grateful to the Minister for the answer. I am sure that he will be aware that this causes great distress not just to the women involved but to their families. What reassurances does the Minister plan to give women across Northern Ireland that they will, indeed, be seen within the target time for red-flag breast…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Sectarian and Racist Intimidation from Homes”
Sectarian and Racist Intimidation from Homes - Amendment 1 Leave out all after “such attacks;” and insert: ‘notes the commitment by the Executive Office to bring forward a refreshed Good Relations Strategy alongside Together: Building a United Community to address sectarianism and racism through a whole-community…
I will not reiterate my party's position on genocide and famine, as colleagues have done so. I will address other points. I draw Members' attention to some posts. One from 11 hours ago stated: "25,056 boxes of aid delivered today ... Free and efficient aid, given directly to Palestinian civilians." Another post…
Drug Smuggling To ask the Minister of Justice, in light of the BBC Spotlight investigation highlighting that international cartels are targeting the Irish coastline to smuggle drugs into the United Kingdom via Northern Ireland, whether she intends to hold discussions with her counterpart in the Irish Government…
I rise to pay tribute to the Irish Guards in their 125th anniversary year, following a weekend of commemorative events. The Irish Guards are an extraordinary regiment, renowned for their bravery, loyalty, passion and willingness to serve King and country even unto death. Theirs is a proud and distinguished history of…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) the policy for future consideration of temporary release; and (ii) what factors are taken into consideration, in the event of a prisoner absconding from temporary release, granted on compassionate grounds.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) the policy for future consideration of temporary release; and (ii) the factors which are taken into consideration, in the event of a prisoner absconding from temporary release.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) the policy for the temporary release of prisoners prior to (a) final release; and (b) release on compassionate grounds; and (ii) what factors are taken into consideration.
To ask the Minister of Finance to detail whether any conflicts have been identified or addressed in relation to notional payments under the Injury Benefits Scheme.
To ask the Minister of Finance to clarify (i) the use of notional payments under the Injury Benefits Scheme; (ii) whether these are set out in legislation; (iii) where the rules governing the Injury Benefits Scheme and the use of notional payments are published; and (iv) how they are made accessible to affected…
I draw the deputy First Minister's attention to paragraph 6 of her statement relating to Intertrade UK. Obviously, the protocol and its bureaucracy are a considerable impediment to internal trade. Was the protocol's impact raised? What was the outcome? Do the Government accept and understand the problems that the…
I have had enough of listening for months in the House to misinformation and propaganda with nary a word about what the Israelis have suffered. Of course, we do not want to see any people, especially children, starving or hurt, but let us get real about what led to this. Some in the House are all too willing to gloss…
I declare that I have an immediate family member who works in the legal profession. Of course sentencing should not be a populist undertaking but a punishment; a punishment that is commensurate with the crime, that is fundamentally effective and that acts as a deterrent. However, there can be no doubt that sentencing…
I am grateful for that answer. I would be grateful if the Minister were to look into the issue, because we hear that more detained persons are being sent to hospital now than prior to the scheme and that, apparently, the medical staff present in custody suites will not help police officers who suffer minor injuries in…
