Mr Matthew O'Toole: Assembly records
All of Mr Matthew O'Toole’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I beg to move I am proud to move another motion. It follows neatly from the previous motion marking 20 years since the St Andrews Agreement, with all its flaws, and recognising the progress that we have made and that which we definitely have not made. After last night's difficult debate and the past few weeks of…
First, there is no determination around the events that are happening on the Garvaghy Road, but the Member is entitled to make the point. The Member has mentioned lawbreaking. Several of his Ministers — not to engage in whataboutery — including some who are still serving, were found to be in breach of the ministerial…
I beg to move After the division and toxicity of last night, the Opposition are doing what we have done for almost the past three years, which is getting back to the business of focusing on people's needs, on their public services, on how we work together in partnership to make this place work, on how we live up to…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail how her Department will ensure proper enforcement of Tourism NI certification rules for short-term holiday lets.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any steps she is taking to ensure short-term holiday lets have the correct planning permission, before being certified by Tourism NI.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any steps she is taking to ensure individuals can report instances of poor management of short-term holiday lets.
The Member said that there are no good relations at all from the SDLP. I will point out to him what I said in my speech; I have it in front of me, because I read it out. I talked about the Ulster-British tradition being "on proud display". I said that Orangeism is intrinsic and valued on this island, but I drew a…
The Member has raised good relations and has mentioned the money that has been, as he says, "poured into" it. May I ask, genuinely out of interest, given some of the remarks by his party leader over the past couple of days, including the use of the word "sanitise" and things like that — for many people, that was a…
For the sake of clarity up front, we will not support the various motions of no confidence in Ministers before the Assembly today. They are a distraction from what we actually need to do in this place. Let me say first of all that I and my party welcome the Secretary of State's decision to ban the parade. We should…
I will be brief. The Minister said that he wants to give workers a pay rise but that that cannot happen in the absence of an Executive Budget. Will he agree that, if we all get a pay rise but the many tens of thousands of healthcare workers who deserve a pay rise do not, it will bring this place into utter disrepute?
With the greatest respect, Mr Speaker, that is not good enough. Working for legal contingencies when the British Government could, at any minute, step in — a British Government who, we all agree, do not prioritise this place — and impose a Budget on this place, preventing pay rises, is a completely unacceptable…
Minister, you said in your initial answer that the Executive cannot conclude public-sector pay deals without setting a Budget, and the Executive have not set a Budget. Will you confirm for public-sector workers who want to know when they will get their pay deal that, unless the Executive agree a Budget, they cannot…
Mr O'Toole asked the Minister of Finance, noting that we are now more than halfway through the financial year and have heard today about "continued engagement", and further noting that, as he acknowledged, there is no legal mechanism to give workers in the health service, in education or across the public sector the…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they have (i) had; and (ii) requested, any meetings or briefings in relation to the Irish Presidency of the European Union.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any steps his Department is taking to regenerate the Wider University and Lower Ormeau area, given an increasing number of students living in purpose-built student accommodation.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any steps his Department is taking to improve the public realm along the Lagan, near the proposed site of the Lagan Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge.
