Mr Maurice Bradley: Assembly records
All of Mr Maurice Bradley’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 that answer. I acknowledge that he is working hard on the matter, but it is an approval that was issued by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and is waiting for a call-in from your Department. Hopefully, the matter will be resolved soon so that the hotel can be completed for the 153rd…
Mr Bradley asked the Minister for Infrastructure when his Department expects to announce a decision on application LA01/2016/1328/F, which is for the Merrow hotel and spa complex on the north coast?
I thank the First Minister for her answer. It is important to advertise Civil Service jobs and either make new appointments or make temporary appointments permanent. It has to be done sooner rather than later. Over 2,000 temporary appointments is too many.
Mr Bradley asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they agree that over 2,000 temporary promotions across all Executive Departments is excessive to say the least and would not happen in the private sector, and what plans are in place to advertise Civil Service employment opportunities to reduce the…
I thank the Minister for her answer. Minister, temporary promotions are not intended to last for more than one year. While there is no strict maximum duration for temporary promotions, prolonged periods going from one year to over four years can lead to complications. For instance, if an employee remains in a…
I thank the Minister for his statement. It is very welcome. It gives schools in my constituency an opportunity to apply for much-needed funding. Can the Minister explain why he believes that the programme is needed? Can he also give us an idea of whether schools that have next to nothing will be given some sort of…
I rise to highlight the further delay to the commencement of work on Portstewart's Merrow hotel and spa complex, which will be a tourist destination of immense benefit to the tourism offering in the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area. The hotel project has finally been approved, following prolonged legal…
I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, given your subregional economic plan and the recommendations to send £45 million to be dedicated to kick-starting the economy in that area, what engagement has your Department had with Invest NI to explore the use of the land across East Londonderry and the Causeway coast…
Minister, thank you very much for your statement to the House. The proposed reforms are well intentioned and address critical issues in the justice system. However, their success depends on clearly defined goals, realistic financial planning, effective stakeholder engagement and phased implementation. Addressing these…
Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank everybody who took part in this informative debate this evening. I value the opportunity for all in society to be the best that they can be in education, sport, employment and all other aspects of life in Northern Ireland. As my party colleagues mentioned, the Democratic…
I thank the Minister for her answer. Minister, has your Department had discussions about enhanced pre-release housing assessments, strengthening partnerships between prisons, councils and homelessness charities or introducing a mandatory post-release housing plan? What regular audits and reviews of prisoner…
I thank the Minister for his statement. He has already answered most of my queries. It underscores the need for pensioners to review their benefit entitlements to ensure that they receive the support available to them. Has the Minister engaged with any Department other than DWP to ensure that nobody misses out on the…
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I will be brief. I congratulate Coleraine-based charity Ashes to Gold, which has been awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Service 2024. Ashes to Gold is a registered charity that serves the people of the Causeway coast and glens area. Its work is dedicated to promoting positive mental health…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail any engagement they have had with the Minister for the Economy on the opportunity to use The Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club in 2025 to promote (i) the East Londonderry constituency; and (ii) Northern Ireland as a place to invest.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether the High Street Task Force will work with the new Coleraine Future Town Fund Board to develop a town centre masterplan.

To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) the number of Diabetic Specialist Nurses currently employed in each Health and Social Care Trust; and (ii) any plans to increase the number of these nurses.
To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department has considered issuing a permanent award of Personal Independence Payments or Disability Living Allowance, that is not subject to review, to a claimant who is living with a condition that will not improve.
I thank the Minister for his answer. On the Minister's regional balance strategy, I look at the recent funding allocations by the university, which were supplied to my colleague Phillip Brett. Capital spend in the university for 2023-24 was £4·183 million for Magee; £7·658 million for Studio Ulster; £1·252 million for…
To ask the Minister of Justice to outline the number of prisoners without a permanent home address who were released from a custodial sentence in the last year.
