Ms Kate Nicholl: Assembly records
All of Ms Kate Nicholl’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I welcome the opportunity to talk about the AI strategy. I do not think that any Member has asked more questions about it than I have. I think that it is something like 80 at this point, and that is not because I am evangelical about AI or because I am frightened by it. It is just because AI exists and because, as the…
I welcome the motion and the leader of the Opposition's positivity. I share in much of what he said. The fleadh was amazing. There was maybe only one day on which I did not go into Belfast while it was on. The shared spirit spoke to all of us about the society that we really want to create. I will not reiterate the…
Twenty years ago, 17-year-old Jane McVeigh died after she ate a piece of food that was contaminated with nuts. I did not actually know Jane. I was in the year above her at a different school, but I had lots of friends who did know her. The impact that her death had on them and on the community was profound, and I…
A Bill's Second Stage is about its principles, and I could not agree more with that principle, not just on regional balance but on any issue. I go back to the point about separate legal entities. We know that we operate in silos and that there are issues. The issues to which we are trying to find policy solutions…
Like others, I thank Sinéad for introducing the Bill. She is such a wonderful champion of regional balance. Any time the term is mentioned at the Economy Committee, everyone instantly looks at her. I am delighted that the Bill has got to this stage. You deserve it. You are a wonderful champion of your constituency on…
We are very lucky to have an energy nerd in the Alliance Party. I benefit greatly from my colleague David Honeyford's expertise in this, and it is good to know that he has company in other parties. Over the summer, I spent quite a bit of time trying to get up to the same stage as him. I met a number of renewable…
To ask the Minister of Finance (i) to detail any engagement he has had with the UK Government in relation to the changes to procurement policy set out in Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 026; and (ii) whether any assessment has been made of its implications.
To ask the Minister for Communities (i) to detail any engagement he has had with the UK Government in relation to the June 2026 Home Buying and Selling Reform Roadmap; (ii) whether any consideration will be given to introducing any similar changes in Northern Ireland.
I thank the Member for giving way. I am struck by the point that he makes. He is obviously proud of his great-great-grandfather, and that historical flag has a specific meaning for him. Does he agree, however, that the meaning that it has for him will be very different from that that it has for someone who was a…
That is completely true, and it is not a threat when people know who has put the flags up. We hear time and time again from businesses at the Inns Cross, in Finaghy and on the Lisburn Road that the issue is not national identity or the flag itself but that, so often, they do not know who has put the flags up and what…
I was in the Chamber for the answers earlier. I congratulate the Minister on his particular flair when responding to questions in such a politically pointed way, which I always enjoy. I have also noticed that the Minister has made a number of announcements that often do not have any funding attached to them. He…
Does the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs agree with me that his duty is to serve the entirety of Northern Ireland within the full remit of his Department, as opposed to being beholden to one vested-interest group?
The deputy First Minister will know that I am delighted that the AI strategy has been published. I have tabled many questions about it. From my engagement as chair of the all-party group on artificial intelligence, I know that there are different views on AI depending on the sector. The tech sector is excited about…
One of the reasons why I stay in politics is that I do not want my children to move to Australia; I want them to stay and have a future here. I want every child to be proud of living here. The stories that have filled the airwaves over the past few weeks give concern to, I think, everyone in Northern Ireland, but…
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 44117/22-27 , to detail any reasons why his Department does not routinely collect or hold waiting time data specifically categorised as non-urgent breast pain clinics.
To ask the Minister for the Economy, pursuant to the £800,000 funding announced for short courses at the Ulster University Business School, to detail (i) whether this funding decision was assessed against the continuation of the Skill Up programme; and (ii) whether she will provide any criteria that informed this…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail the total loss of funding for further education, between 2021-22 and 2026-27, broken down by (i) institution; and (ii) financial year.
