Mr John Stewart: Assembly records
All of Mr John Stewart’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Members who tabled the motion. It is obviously a critical issue that affects every one of our constituents. Across the country, our roads are in a diabolical state: that is not an exaggeration. Today, we are not debating minor wear and tear, seasonal deterioration or the usual spikes and complaints after…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline the work carried out between her Department and economic development units within local councils since the start of the 2022-2027 Assembly mandate.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail when any (i) surveys; and (ii) repairs, have been carried out on the damaged seawall steps and handrails along the Belfast Road and Rhanbuoy coast roads, Carrickfergus, following the storms in December 2025.
We have heard about how Northern Ireland was wonderfully showcased last year at the Open, and the Minister has touched on the discussions at the meeting. What more is being done to promote Northern Ireland's sporting tourism around the world, be that in golf, motor racing, football or country pursuits, when there is…
I thank the Minister for the statement. I pay tribute to Enterprise NI, our local enterprise agencies and Young Enterprise. You will be aware, Minister, that we have an economy that is fundamentally based on micro- and small businesses, key to which is encouraging people, particularly our young people, into…
The roads in East Antrim are in a dangerous and diabolical state, and people are losing faith. Constituents contact me, as do your officers, to say that the website simply cannot keep up with the number of reports that are going through the nidirect portal. The website removes reports of potholes before they have been…
I will address an issue that goes to the heart of fairness, social cohesion and economic common sense in Northern Ireland. As many Members know — they have already spoken about it — from April of this year, Northern Ireland faces a funding cliff edge that is avoidable and totally unjustifiable. The funding to address…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the reason why the traffic lights on the A2 Bank Road, Larne, and the Main Road, Glynn, over the single carriageway at Carnduff railway bridge, habitually fail under storm conditions.
I thank the Member for East Londonderry for securing the Adjournment debate. As you will be aware, I am also not a Member for East Londonderry. It is rare that I leave my bubble of East Antrim, but I am pleased today to speak on this issue in East Londonderry, particularly Ballykelly and Kilrea. I am grateful to my…
Like others, I welcome the change and welcome anything that will save lives on our roads. However, like the Speaker and the Chair of the Infrastructure Committee, I am deeply concerned about the way that it has been handled. It is a slight on the scrutiny of our Committee, which works in a collegial way with you and…
Minister, you said that the plan was for Reval2026 to be fair and reasonable. It is not fair and reasonable to the hospitality industry or to the constituent of mine whose small hotel has not made a profit for four years and who, despite having filled out all the necessary requirements, will see their rates bill…
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether her Department has considered reforming parental or shared leave entitlements, to recognise the specific caregiving demands associated with multiple births.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any consideration her Department has given to the potential impacts of current parental leave arrangements for multiple birth families on (i) maternal health; (ii) family wellbeing; (iii) gender equality; and (iv) long-term workforce participation.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail (i) whether her Department has examined comparative parental leave policies, operated by other public sector employers in Northern Ireland, including those that allocate leave on a per-child basis; and (ii) any scope that exists to explore similar approaches within…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any assessment her Department has made of the adequacy and fairness of current (i) maternity; (ii) parental; and (iii) shared leave, entitlements in relation to parents of twins or other multiple births.
How does one follow that contribution from the Member? I appreciate, however, that he made some valid points. I welcome the new Member for Newry and Armagh to his place. I congratulate him on his maiden speech and pay tribute to his predecessor, who was a great ambassador for the constituency. I agree with the Member…
I thank the Minister for her statement. What specific targets has Waterways Ireland set for carbon reduction, biodiversity protection and sustainability, and how will progress on those be measured and reported on?
I take the opportunity to pass on my best wishes and send good luck to Carrick Rangers Football Club and the amber army ahead of the County Antrim Shield final against Cliftonville Football Club at Seaview tonight. It is a very important opportunity for the town. Ahead of tonight's final, as you can imagine, a great…
As you know, Minister, the lack of capacity in waste water infrastructure is having not only a massive environmental impact but a huge economic impact. On the current trajectory, what is your assessment of the total cost and time frame needed to bring the entire sewerage network up to standard and relieve the capacity…
