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.
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. In light of the number of points of order, I ask the Speaker's Office to review the serious abuse of points of order during this session.
We had another statement filled with sanctimonious slurs from the Alliance Party. It is right that that is called out by the Minister and others on these Benches. The Minister has rightly identified a problem and is taking action to address it. In his statement, he talked about changing the system or changing nothing.…
When we talk about Lough Neagh in this place, it is often through an environmental lens. Although that is important, it is often used as a stick with which to beat the rural, farming community. For many years, many farmers in my constituency of Upper Bann have had their land destroyed by flooding that is associated…
I thank the Member for giving way. Will he accept that this debate is every bit as legitimate as the 10-plus non-binding private Members' motions that the Member's party has tabled during his term as leader of the Opposition?
To ask the Minister of Justice to outline the number of incidents of attacks on prison officers that have taken place within prisons in each of the last five years.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the work undertaken by their Department in the last 12 months to implement the Armed Forces Covenant.
I thank the Member for her original question. Whilst we know that children and parents face significant challenges in dealing with severe allergies, additional stress is also put on teaching staff who have to administer medication and, often, feel under-equipped to do so. Can the Minister outline whether those steps…
As has been said, today is a big day for our US friends, who today will see the inauguration of President Trump for his historic second term. It is a presidency that, indeed, I welcome. During the first Trump Administration, the then First Minister, Arlene Foster, and the then deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness,…
Just when we thought that six months of Labour's grubby hold on power could not sink to any new depths, it did so last week. Two-tier justice is no longer just the perception of some but the reality. Through the Labour Government's removal of a section in the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act…
I thank the Member for giving way. We are now having an important and respectful debate on the subject, but, going by that theory and the statistics that he has quoted on sectors, segregation and traditional communities, many of the integrated schools that the Minister referred to yesterday would fall into those…
I thank the Member for giving way. I will follow on from Mr Brooks's point about what is special about ethos. I could apply the ethos that Ms Nicholl described to many schools in my constituency. In fact, many parents choose those schools on the basis of the ethos that they provide. Does the Member accept that what he…
I thank the Member for giving way. Perhaps he could provide a bit more clarity. By "segregation", does he mean different sectors? As was noted in the debate yesterday — it is appropriate that we put it on record again today — so many of our schools from those different sectors have naturally integrated. In fact, as…
Every form of poverty is a stain on any nation. Does the Minister agree that a Labour Government whose policies have made pensioners poor, made farmers poor and made businesses poor and have killed growth in the UK economy in the meantime will do absolutely nothing to create the sustainable, healthy economy that we…
Will the Minister agree that one of the most regrettable aspects of the debate is the misrepresentation and mis-characterisation of many of our controlled schools, maintained schools and schools from other sectors, which already provide that naturally integrated and inclusive education? It is clear that, for some…
Whilst I accept that some applications that fall under the Northern Ireland Environment Agency's remit have not supplied the appropriate details, vast swathes of genuine planning applications across a range of sectors are being held up with a point-blank, "No" or a delayed response from the Northern Ireland…
Where a dog behaves in an aggressive manner, I have no problem whatever with the authorities dealing with the individual dog, but I have always had concern regarding the designation of a whole breed under the legislation. The Minister knows that. He will be aware of Max, the five-month-old puppy in Lisburn and…
I thank the Minister for his comprehensive statement. The Minister will know that we are all concerned about the huge and rising numbers of children with special educational needs in our education system, the impact that that has on the child and the parents and how teachers, in many ways, feel under-equipped to deal…
People say that you can judge an individual or organisation not on their words but by their actions. In six months of the Labour Government, their actions have amounted to no more than betrayal, deceit and destruction. In Opposition, the Labour Party said that it supported a public inquiry into grooming gangs — gangs…
Mr Buckley asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, given that the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) continues to be a stumbling block for many planning applications in the system, whether he is able to update us on the agency's progress.
