All of Miss Nicola Brogan’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
As Sinn Féin's spokesperson on the environment and climate, I am happy to speak in support of both motions. Last month, 'The Lancet' countdown on health and climate change report revealed that people in every country face record-breaking threats to health and well-being from the rapidly changing climate.

Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank all the Members who participated in the debate. I thank the Minister for being here — for listening and responding — and Paul Frew for summarising Members' comments. Sinn Féin tabled the motion because it is clear that the lack of regulation in the non-surgical…
An emissions trading scheme, if properly designed and operated, is an efficient and practical means of helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All too often, the burden of carbon reduction schemes falls on the consumer, not the producer. A well-designed ETS could help restore that balance. Indeed, until Brexit was…
Has the Minister given any consideration to specific biodiversity legislation or does he feel that existing strategies are enough to reverse the decline in biodiversity here?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an leas-Chéad Aire as a freagraí go dtí seo. She will, no doubt, agree that investing in infrastructure is key to growing our economy. Can the deputy First Minister, therefore, outline how she will ensure the successful delivery of the investment strategy?
Inniu an Lá Idirnáisiúnta um Dhíothú an Fhoréigin in aghaidh na mBan. Maraítear bean amháin gach 10 mbomaite. Nuair a léigh mé an fíoras sin, a Cheann Comhairle, baineadh stad asam: maraítear bean amháin gach 10 mbomaite. Phléigh muid go min agus go minic sa Teach seo an foréigean in aghaidh na mban. Chuala muid uilig…
I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion as we defend the future of farming families and the rural communities that sustain us all. The British Government's autumn Budget does not prioritise farmers and protect the rural economy in the North of Ireland. Those are not oversights; they are political choices that…
We come together today to address a challenge that is central to rural life in the North of Ireland. Bovine tuberculosis persistently threatens animal health, burdening farmers with economic, emotional and social costs. To support the motion is to recognise the heavy toll that bovine TB takes on our farmers. For many,…

How would the…

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire fosta. He will be aware that the Climate Change Act recognises the importance of treating the island of Ireland as a single biogeographical unit. It also requires that we harmonise climate action in the North with steps that are being taken in the rest of Ireland. Will the Minister please…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas. The statement is very welcome, particularly because the Finance Minister prioritised Health and Education.
