Mr Jonathan Buckley: Assembly records
All of Mr Jonathan Buckley’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Rising Energy Prices To ask the Minister for the Economy for her assessment of the impact of escalating tensions in the Middle East and the resulting rise in global energy prices on households and businesses in Northern Ireland.
Let us be honest, Minister: the Northern Ireland Climate Change Act in its current form has been an unmitigated disaster for infrastructure in Northern Ireland. The A5 is in court with over £100 million spent and not a single piece of tar laid; the A4 Enniskillen bypass is on hold; and the A1 upgrade is delayed again.…
We are right to focus our attention on NI Water's pollution of our waterways, but let us be honest: there are blatant double standards, and the statement does not create a level playing field. The double fining of farmers, for example, which was introduced by the Minister, means that they will be penalised twice in…
The Minister's statement referred to the impact of generative AI on our education system by and large, but particularly, in this instance, on examinations. Has the Minister had any feedback from school leaders, examination bodies and, indeed, his Department about how, potentially, generative AI has contaminated the…
Over the years, this place has seen some very silly actions, some very callous actions and some selfish actions. However, the fact that, as we have heard in the last two days, the First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, has on not one but two occasions refused to attend Cabinet Office briefings on the situation in the…
First Minister Attendance at UK Security Briefings on Iran To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for the First Minister’s assessment of why she has failed to attend UK Cabinet briefings on the situation in Iran, including matters pertinent to the wellbeing of Northern Ireland citizens currently in the…
I thank the Member for giving way. I also thank her for recognising some of the challenges and difficulties caused by the Windsor framework. Can the Member outline the changes that the Irish EU presidency and, indeed, the Irish Government could adopt to solve that problem?
I thank the Member for giving way. He mentioned the West and Europe being engaged in warmongering, particularly in recent days over Iran. However, does the Member consider the actions of the Iranian regime, which recently slaughtered 40,000 of its own people and has sponsored global terror proxies across the Middle…
I thank the Member for giving way. Does he agree that the actions of the Irish Government, propped up by the SDLP, Sinn Féin and, indeed, the Alliance Party, should give no succour to anybody in Northern Ireland, including unionists in the House, that they would ever act in our strategic national interest?
I thank the Member for giving way. We have heard much from the Sinn Féin Benches about Members' disappointment that the debate is now focusing on defence. However, although they want us to believe that the focus of the motion is on mutual interest, funding and engagement, there is no similar disappointment about the…
I thank the Member for giving way. As someone who has had the burden of sitting on the Winter Framework Committee with him since its inception, will he agree with me that it is a case of our needing less EU interference rather than more?
This is another motion that rehashes the Brexit debate. Whenever the issue comes to the House, we are often accused by nationalist parties in particular, and by Alliance, of being negative, backward and against growth. In the debate on this issue today, however, when the motion has been tabled by the SDLP, it is…
FlaggedConstitutional question, Brexit, the Windsor Framework and sovereigntyCriteria met: Identity framing.
I thank the Member for giving way. How does the Member react to unionists' opinion that the Republic of Ireland's conduct throughout the Brexit process would really bode well for them thinking and acting in the strategic interests of Northern Ireland as part of the United Kingdom?
On Saturday, the world was liberated from a dictator and head of global terrorism: the Iranian supreme leader. There should be no tears shed over his taking out. There should be no tears shed for others in his regime who, over decades of oppression, systematically destroyed family after family not only in Iran but…
To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department and its arms-length bodies have provided any funding to Mears Group, including grants, contracts, programme funding, or programme delivery costs, in each of the last five years.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any current live contracts between his Department, or its arms-length bodies, and Mears Group, including (i) the contract value; (ii) commencement date; and (iii) duration.
To ask the Assembly Commission to outline any actions it has taken, following the Supreme Court judgment in the case For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, to ensure access to female toilets and other single-sex private spaces within Parliament Buildings is managed in accordance with the law.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any steps her Department is taking to ensure that Freedom of Information requests are responded to within the statutory timeframe.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the average time taken by her Department to complete Freedom of Information requests, broken down by each division within her Department.
To ask the Minister of Justice whether she will make a copy of the recent independent review into psychology services within the Northern Ireland Prison Service, available to the wider public.
