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.
I thank the Member for giving way because this is an important point. Will the Member square the circle for me that the largest area of growth — the 1% growth — comes from areas outside the grip of the Windsor framework?
I thank the Member for giving way. If he has been following that point, he will have noted that there is considerable dispute over those figures, given that the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) data that, I imagine, he is referring to is two years old. Two economists suggest that there is…
"Common sense" is a term used often in the House but certainly not about Mr Tennyson. The Member talks about not wanting to fight the Brexit wars of the past, but, surely, by the rhetoric in his six minutes and 32 seconds of speaking so far, he has done just that.
There has never been a more dangerous time to drive on our roads. The Minister says that she has a plan, but it is evident to everybody that it is not working. The Department's transport budget is around £850 million a year. Our constituents know that, in times of emergency, you prioritise that which matters. Will the…
Christian-based collective worship and RE were an integral part of my school upbringing, and, indeed, that of many of my constituents, and we deeply value its meaning, purpose and worth. We would be deluding ourselves, Minister, to think that there is not an attempt by some in the Assembly and by activist…
FlaggedDecided on a second assessment.Religion and belief (including people of no religion), churches, faith communities and religious prejudice (including antisemitism and anti-Muslim prejudice)Criteria met: Identity framing, Cultural grievance politics.
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail any cost incurred for feasibility studies conducted by her Department for projects that did not proceed, over the last five years.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on any actions being taken by her Department, to implement the use of permanent 20mph speed limits outside of schools in predominantly residential areas and town centres.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any cost incurred for feasibility studies, conducted by her Department for projects that did not proceed, over the last five years.
I thank the Member for giving way. Does he agree that the primary interference from the Committee that day was the Committee Chair's private meeting with the witness, Michelle O'Neill, the First Minister?
I thank the Member for giving way. Does he agree that it is a gross slur from the Alliance Party to accuse Members on the DUP Benches and, indeed, the Ulster Unionists of misogyny in this instance? There is no such thing applied in this instance.
At the outset, I say that today's debate is a complete and utter waste of time for the Assembly. An hour and a half in which we could be discussing health, education or roads is being spent adjudicating on a spat between two Members — a breakdown in the relationship between Members from two different political…
This is one of the last questions, and it is fair to say that the smell of burning rubber is still fresh in the air following the Minister's handbrake turn. We, as Members, will forgive him not for the dangerous driving in the run-up to this but for the direction in which he has ended up. Anybody with a titter of wit…
Sinn Féin-led Departments are in chaos. There are pothole pandemics. We have a Minister for the Economy who seems more intent on losing than creating jobs for the Northern Ireland economy and a Minister of Finance who has had to do a reverse ferret on a rates increase that would have decimated the hospitality sector.…
Potholes: Road Safety Fears To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline the steps she will take to address road safety fears arising from the extent of potholes throughout Northern Ireland.
The Member for Strangford is absolutely right to point out the blocker that waste water infrastructure causes to local business development. It is not the only blocker. With that in mind, what discussions has the Minister had with her Sinn Féin counterpart in the Department for Infrastructure about a totally inept…
One of the most important tasks of any Economy Minister around the world is to ensure that their country is a welcome place for investment and job creation, in order to ensure that their citizens have the best chance to thrive in any sector. However, Sinn Féin's foreign policy outlook is damaging the Northern Ireland…
