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 his answer. Minister, the reason for the question was that there was a huge spin-off, which you mentioned, from the 2019 competition but Portrush was described as a "ghost town". There was very little footfall on the peninsula, and businesses and traders lost out in the overall economic…
I congratulate Ballywillan Flute Band from just outside Portrush. It celebrated its 140th anniversary with a special event at the Lodge Hotel in Coleraine on Saturday evening. In recognition of its anniversary, the band presented commemorative medals to current and past members and lapel pins and key rings to their…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the waiting time for patients who have been recalled for a biopsy following a routine breast screening, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) who is responsible for the safety of pupils on school transport; and (ii) how he can ensure that seat belts are available on all buses transporting school children.
I thank the Minister for his statement and his answers. Minister, you have outlined some of the issues around the housing crisis, but will you give an update on the progress of your housing supply strategy?
To ask the Minister of Finance to outline how many businesses have benefited from the 50 per cent rates discount since the launch of the Back in Business scheme in May 2024.
To ask the Minister of Education whether discussions have progressed with the Education Authority and the Ulster University regarding a site for the new Causeway Academy.
I thank the Minister for her clarification. Her points are well made. Clauses 9, 10 and 13 relate to a juvenile justice centre. Will those clauses enshrine in law that no young person under 18 will be held anywhere other than a juvenile justice centre? While that has been the practice since 2012, there may be cases…
The Bill introduces significant reforms across various areas of justice and law enforcement in Northern Ireland. Part 1 refers to the retention of biometric data. It implements a 75/50/25-year model for biometric data retention based on age, offence severity and case outcome, replacing indefinite retention; it…
I thank the Minister for her answer. In view of the circumstances that abound in England because of overcrowding, prisoners are being let out early. Does she envisage anything like that in Northern Ireland?
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline his Department’s plans to work with Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council to maximise the tourism potential arising from The Open at Royal Portrush in 2025.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether any booms have been installed in Lough Neagh to prevent the spread of algae into the Lower Bann.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to detail the number of fines in the last 12 months for XL Bully dog owners who have not registered their animal, broken down by local council area.

To ask the Minister of Education whether any consideration has been given to providing long-term substitute teachers with the same rights as other employees in terms of holiday and sick pay.
Thank you, Minister. I could not agree more with your response. What is the expected timeline for decisions concerning controlled schools? Are the Minister and his Department working to a timeline?
I will speak about the sad loss of a friend and former council colleague, Gerry McLaughlin, who was laid to rest on Friday. The nature of this place and the short time available in which to organise meetings and deal with constituency matters greatly impinges on our ability to attend funerals and ad hoc events.…
I thank the Minister for coming to the House today. If the Labour Government continue to cancel finance for projects that benefit citizens, they could go down as the worst Government ever, headed by the worst Prime Minister ever. That is only my opinion. Minister, you have mentioned some of the nine projects in the…
Minister, your Department is not solely at fault for the state of the water; other Departments are at fault too. Everything that goes into Lough Neagh comes down through Coleraine, where it is pumped into our reservoir. A gentleman left into my office two samples that he wants tested. Thank you for your assurances on…
