  1. Debate contribution: SEN Reform and Classroom Assistant Provision

    • Opposition Business

    I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. As a parent, I see every day the transformative impact that a classroom assistant can have. My son benefits from that support. I know first-hand the difference that it makes not only to his engagement with education but emotionally and socially. For…

  2. Debate contribution: Mobuoy: Remediation Strategy

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I look forward to welcoming the Minister back to the city to hear his planned way forward for closing the running sore that is Mobuoy. While I welcome the fact that he is going to meet us, as elected representatives, it is important that the information gets out to as wide a range of stakeholders as possible. What are…

  3. Written question AQW 42034/22-27

    • Department for Communities

    To ask the Minister for Communities, pursuant to AQW 40924/22-27, to detail (i) the reason why the Housing Executive does not record the number of applicants who seek emergency accommodation but cannot be accommodated; and (ii) whether he will ensure this information is formally collected and published, to better…

  4. Debate contribution: Finance: Chancellor’s Spring Forecast

    • Ministerial Statement

    I thank the Minister for his statement. I concur entirely with him that the British Government are responsible for the mess that has been made of the local growth fund, but the Executive have a responsibility to look after people here and to protect the hugely important work that is being done by so many organisations…

  5. Debate contribution: Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill: Legislative Consent Motion

    • Executive Committee Business

    This is a good day, and it is not just because it is my birthday. It is good to get the opportunity to speak today on the long-overdue removal of the two-child limit. It was a significant driver of policy on these islands in recent years, and the impact has hit hardest and been felt most severely here in the North.…

  6. Debate contribution: Road Network: Resilience

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thanks, Mr Deputy Speaker. Divisional offices will be working up their investment and action plans for next year. Those have been getting slimmer every year, which is a sure sign of austerity, with fewer schemes being brought forward. Once the survey is complete, will such a survey be rolled out again, or will…

  7. Debate contribution: Waste Water Regulation and Enforcement

    • Ministerial Statements

    I welcome the Minister's aim and, in principle, the actions proposed in his statement. We would need a bit more detail on the sliding scale of penalty notices, but any efforts to address failing water quality are to be welcomed. However, much of what you have outlined today, Minister, such as withdrawal from SORPI,…

  8. Debate contribution: CCEA GCSEs, AS Levels and A Levels

    • Ministerial Statements

    I welcome the Minister's recognition and acknowledgement of the impact that exams have on the mental health and well-being of young people, but I do not know how he reconciles that with his stout defence of the transfer test. Where else thinks that testing children at the age of 10 or 11 is good? What are the…
