All of Mr Mark Durkan’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 Minister for his statement. I welcome much of what was in it. There was a lot of positive news on the positive work being done. On the matter of corporate governance, Waterways Ireland does not currently have a board in place. I believe that that issue was being considered by the NSMC. It had been raised…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas. A total of £88·5 million of the Irish Government's €600 million contribution to the A5 has been earmarked in this year's budget. Given the Minister's welcome indication yesterday of his intention to recommend approval, can he advise us if any money in DFI's capital budget…
I thank the deputy First Minister for her statement. Minister, how do we compare with those other jurisdictions in our trajectory towards our renewable targets, and is there any learning that we can take from elsewhere — on planning, for example — to make our targets more realistic and realisable?
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the total number of complaints received by their Department requesting improved cleaning and maintenance of Ebrington Square in each of the last three years.
To ask the Minister of Education to provide clarity on (i) the non-consolidated recognition payment in lieu of back pay for eligible school support staff 2025-26; and (ii) when he will be in a position to confirm this provision.
It is welcome that the decision will be made, so I implore the Minister to make the right one. Cognisant of his long-held interest in mental health and the absolutely appalling and disproportionate mental health outcomes for autistic people, does he agree that we need to urgently provide specialist mental health…
I am glad that I gave the Minister the opportunity to clear that up after he misspoke when answering an earlier question. The north-west transport hub celebrated the milestone of reaching one million passengers last year. That is brilliant and shows the real appetite for public transport use. That figure has been…
I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, £4·7 million is a far cry from the £97 million that you told the House had been approved for the project. You say that the project is proceeding as planned, but it was planned to start in 2025, and this is the second 12-month slippage that we have seen in your first…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas. I welcome some of the content of the statement, but, like my colleague, I question the timing of it. Does the Minister agree that all school support staff should access full entitlement to their hard-earned pay award, and will she work with the Education Minister to ensure…
— related to alcohol and drug misuse, will the Minister commit to exploring and exploiting opportunities to improve addiction services by looking at them on a cross-border basis?
I thank the Minister for his statement. North/South collaboration on health is extremely important to my party and was, indeed, the subject of an Opposition motion last month. I welcome the progress across a range of issues, as outlined by the Minister. With specific regard to the progress on the strategies to prevent…
Mr Durkan asked the Minister of Health, having noted that the role of autism reviewer is a critical requirement of the Autism (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, to state why that role has not yet been realised and recruited for and whether he agrees that it is critical to monitoring and evaluating the…
Mr Durkan asked the Minister for Infrastructure whether, pursuant to an answer to an earlier question, he stated, and the Member is fairly sure that he did, that construction work on phase 3 of the Derry to Coleraine scheme will commence in 2026.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of tooth extractions carried out in hospitals for patients under the age of 18 in each of the last five years, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.

To ask the Minister for Communities, following an additional funding allocation for social housing, for an estimate of how many social homes can be built with £20 million.
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 13062/22-27, to detail (i) the number of individuals who (a) are currently facing prosecution; (b) have been prosecuted for purchasing counterfeit weight loss drugs in the last three years; and (ii) whether his Department has considered utilising social media as a tool to…
To ask the Minister of Health (i) for an indicative timeframe for the introduction of a Baby Loss Certificate Scheme for parents who have lost a baby during pregnancy before 24 weeks; and (ii) to detail the engagement he has had with the Department of Finance on this scheme.
To ask the Minister of Education for a breakdown of the number of successful free school meals and uniform grants applicants who are (i) self-employed; and (ii) single parents, in each of the last three years.
