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.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail all planned maintenance schemes for Housing Executive properties, including home adaptations, scheduled for the Creggan area, Derry, in the next five years.
I thank the Member for giving way. I just went down a bit of a rabbit hole. Does the Member share my shock, horror and surprise at discovering that Alliance councillors in Mid and East Antrim Borough Council voiced concern about and opposed a wind farm a couple of years ago?
I appreciate the Member's giving way. I apologise for not being quicker to respond when his colleague invited an intervention. I was digging out the piece to which he referred: Derry City and Strabane District Council voted for a: "presumption against any developments unless ... they would not adversely impact or…
Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker, far be it for me to question your integrity or timekeeping, but I just want to point out that Question Time with both Ministers overran the allotted time. I just suggest that the Speaker might have his clock cleaned.

I thank the Minister for her answer. This issue predates not just the Minister but these institutions. She referred to the Buncrana Road's place in the north-west transport plan, but, given that it appears in the investment strategy for future years, is she able to confirm that her Department has or will bid for the…
I thank the Member for giving way. It is not fair or accurate to say that I said that it could be fixed in isolation without further fixes. Later in my speech, I alluded to the additional investment that would be made in band 5 and 7 nurses in emergency departments.
I beg to move I note and welcome the amendments that have been tabled. We do not disagree with the sentiments expressed in either of the amendments, as they recognise the interlinked issues that have aligned to leave our health service in such disarray, but the wide-ranging calls in both amendments, worthy as they…
Mr Durkan asked the Minister for Infrastructure to outline what role her Department has in the removal of unauthorised flags, posters and signage from our street furniture and roadsides and what action it takes.

Tackling the Financial and Societal Impacts of Division - Amendment 2 Leave out all after ‘communities;’ and insert: ‘calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to introduce a statutory duty to cooperate for all Executive departments to reduce the cost of division, by improving collaboration between…
