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.
Alexander McCartney was a global sexual predator: a vile paedophile who targeted hundreds, if not thousands, of young girls across the world. He blackmailed and exploited them, ultimately resulting in the deaths of a young girl and her father from the United States. The test of any society is how it treats its…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for his assessment of the impact of the Chancellor's Autumn Budget 2024 on family farms in Northern Ireland.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on progress relating to the negotiations between his Department and the development consortium for the completion of Phase 3 of the North Lisburn Feeder Road.
To ask the Minister of Finance to detail the current status of the Community Ownership Fund as pertaining to Northern Ireland, following the Autumn Budget 2024.
There is huge potential with biomethane, and it is encouraging to see such innovation in the mid-Ulster area in particular and further afield. Does the Minister anticipate any clauses in the new regulatory Bill that will come forward from the Department that will deal specifically with the direct injection of…
Under business and trade matters at the plenary meeting, was there any discussion surrounding the chief executive of Invest NI's comments that there is no evidence that dual market access had attracted any foreign direct investment? Do those comments, coupled with the continued barriers to trade east-west, confirm…
I associate myself with the congratulatory remarks to President Trump on securing a historic second term in office. Although I was convinced that President Trump would win the election, the scale by which he did so came as a shock. It was a decisive victory at the electoral college: some 312 votes, compared with…
I thank the Member for giving way. I know how personal the issue is to him, and I commend him on his private Member's Bill. He mentioned Lynsey Courtney. She was not only my friend but my constituent. Does the Member agree that the way in which those families have had to fight has compounded the grief that they have…
I thank the Member for giving way. From my time on the Committee with him, he knows that we are both extremely passionate about this issue. I agree that the fight that the Roberts family has had to go through has been nothing short of disgraceful. Does the Member agree that the current system encourages cover-up…
The deputy First Minister will know that yesterday marked a significant day for many of us who attended acts of remembrance. Last night, I attended the UDR Association act of remembrance in Mountnorris Presbyterian Church, where I joined UDR widows, including my great-aunt, who lost her husband in the Glenanne army…
I thank the Minister for her answer and her invitation to visit the facilities, to which I have replied. Minister, I am sure that you will agree that, on the face of it, an investment of £13·3 million in a kitchen and cafe seems excessive. How confident is the Minister that that will deliver value for money? Is she in…
In the interests of transparency for victims and survivors, just last week, the First Minister's party leader, Mary Lou McDonald, faced calls to correct the record in the Dáil after she appeared to have misled the House in relation to the age of the victim of former Senator and former Sinn Féin Lord Mayor of Belfast…
Minister, the headline in the statement is that you will legislate to ensure that children will remain in education or training until they are 18 years old. Are there specific case studies that the Minister or, indeed, the independent review panel looked at to suggest that that delivers the best outcomes? Will the…
Seventeen years ago, 21-year-old Paul Quinn was lured to a farm just over the Monaghan border and brutally set upon by what appear to have been 10 to a dozen men. They beat him with iron bars and nail-clawed pieces of wood, breaking every major bone in his body from his neck down. Members in the House will have been…
Mr Buckley asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to explain what on earth possessed the First Minister's party to release a glowing tribute to Senator Ó Donnghaile, which talked about him serving "diligently", and how that matches a victim-centred approach, given that the Sinn Féin leadership knew the…
To ask the Minister of Finance for a list of (i) groups; (ii) individuals; and (iii) organisations she has (a) met; and (b) declined to meet since she took office.
I thank in particular my colleague Diane Dodds MLA for bringing the matter to the Chamber. It is an issue that she has championed and sought to raise awareness of during her time as DUP health spokesperson, a member of the Health Committee and an MLA for Upper Bann. As Diane rightly points out, there is an issue of…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. We have just been informed that the former Sinn Féin Lord Mayor of Belfast and Senator, Niall Ó Donnghaile, has been removed from his party and charged with having sent inappropriate messages to a person under the age of 18. That is another serious safeguarding issue. Following…
Release of Police Ombudsman’s Report into the Kingsmill Massacre That this Assembly condemns the callous, sectarian and terrorist murder of ten protestant workmen at Kingsmill on 5 January 1976; stands with the sole survivor, Mr Alan Black, and the bereaved families in their ongoing pursuit of truth and justice;…
To ask the Minister of Justice for a list of (i) groups; (ii) individuals; and (iii) organisations she has (a) met; and (b) declined to meet since she took office.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of sexual assaults that have occurred in each (i) Emergency Department; and (ii) hospital site, in each of the last five years.
