Mr Keith Buchanan: Assembly records
All of Mr Keith Buchanan’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, what more could be done, for instance, through the media, to educate people about wildfires? I am talking not only about young people, because older people are doing it, as well. What more could be done to educate people about what happens when they do those stupid acts?
In previous debates, we have highlighted the need to ensure that NI Water fix the problems in different areas so that everyone can get the service that they require. However, not much has been achieved yet, with people, developers and businesses still restricted in what they can develop or grow. Many places in…
Minister, I have never visited the Middletown Centre. As Minister, what impressed you from your visit? Can you provide further information on the work that it is doing now and that it is planning for the future?
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline what resources are in place to protect the Sperrins from gorse fires and wildfires.
I commend Killyman District on its fundraising event, "Killyman Does Strictly", on Friday and Saturday night. I am hard to impress — in fact, I am very hard to impress — but, on Saturday night, I was certainly impressed. The dancers were excellent, as was the planning, and a considerable amount of money was raised for…
Mr K Buchanan asked the Minister of Education to indicate the consequences of the request for an extension of the Committee Stage of the School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill until 3 December 2025.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of people currently awaiting an initial assessment with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
While many important issues are discussed in this place, there is a pressing issue that affects our environment and our communities: littering and fly-tipping. The charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful is inspiring people to create a cleaner, greener and more sustainable community. Through behavioural change…
The Minister has more or less covered my question. I take it that the Minister will agree that the fleadh should have representation from the wide range of culture and music that exists across Northern Ireland.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any action he is taking to reduce occupational therapist assessment waiting times for (i) adults; and (ii) children in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust.
We see a lot of waste along our roadsides — crisps packets, food waste, cartons etc. What can the Minister do, along with councils, to address the issue? It is getting worse year after year, and we see no resolution.
I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, have the terms of reference been agreed, and is there a team or individual in your Department responsible for overseeing this?
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether her Department will consider the inclusion of (i) Maghera Primary School; (ii) Donaghey Primary School; and (iii) Newmills Primary School in any future roll-out of the part-time 20mph speed limits at schools initiative.
Following the recent accident near Castledawson, when Caitlin-Rose McMullan tragically lost her life, what are the Minister's thoughts on changing the law to stop vehicles overtaking stopped or parked buses that are letting children on or off?
I thank the First Minister for her answer. What is her assessment of how the fund is distributed to the relevant groups? Based on their outputs, how is it assessed?
Minister, I spoke to a farmer in Mid Ulster about bird flu, and he was highly complimentary about the way that the Department handled it. It was a big loss to him personally, but he was very complimentary about the way that it was dealt with. On that note, it has been a few weeks since the last outbreak of bird flu,…
The Minister's predecessor reduced verge cutting that improves sight lines on roads etc to improve biodiversity. It was classified as No Mow May. Miles and miles of hedgerows have been removed along the A5, and I would call that "Devastation in December". What is biodiversity best practice across the transport sector?
