Miss Nicola Brogan: Assembly records
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.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. Today is a hugely important day for the people of west Tyrone, and a significant step forward for the delivery of the A5. It was understandably a very emotional day for everyone involved in delivering the project, particularly the families who have lost loved ones on the A5. I think of…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. The Minister said that 48 members of staff have received veteran-specific training. Will the Minister outline how many members of DFC staff have received bespoke disability and inclusion training in this mandate?
Gabhaim buíochas leis na Aire as an fhreagra sin. Does she agree that planning for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in 2027 should begin as soon as possible so that we maximise its potential economic, societal and cultural benefits?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas. Given that so much of the theme of the meeting was around supporting communities, can the Minister explain his plans and how he will support the community and voluntary sector, which has seen massive and really devastating cuts to its funding since Brexit and the loss of EU…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. The Minister will understand that the loss of a baby is devastating for mothers, fathers and families. This recognition of life and loss is meaningful for many. What impact has the scheme had since its introduction?
This year's Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Belfast truly was a transformative event for the city and the wider region. In just eight days, the fleadh generated a massive economic boost, estimated to be in excess of £65 million, for the city. It showcased the city not only to the rest of Ireland but to the rest of the…
The Minister will know that the all-Ireland fleadh is coming to Belfast next year. Will he outline what discussions he has had with the Arts Council about potential funding programmes for the bands that take part?
I thank the Member for giving way. In the South, our Opposition actually bring solutions to the table, whereas I have not seen any from the SDLP in the North.
While we all wish that progress was faster, the fact is that most of the projects outlined in the motion are moving forward. It would be lovely if we could simply snap our fingers and produce major infrastructure developments out of thin air, but the reality is that projects of that scale and importance require…
I am pleased to welcome the legislative programme from the Executive Committee. It is an ambitious body of work for the session and one that I am sure that we are all eager to get our teeth into. As a member of the Communities and Infrastructure Committees, I am glad to see several pieces of legislation come our way…
The issues of housing, fuel poverty, energy costs and climate change are all deeply interconnected. That is why it is so important that the overarching, cross-departmental Climate Change Act was created. The truth is that there are very few issues here that are not in some way affected by climate change. Climate…
The Minister will know that it is not just about one family. Many families have been victims of racist and sectarian intimidation. Has he held regular meetings with the Housing Executive about those families? Has he personally met any of the families affected by intimidation?
I thank the Minister for his statement. As he will know, I am a representative of Omagh. This is, obviously, concerning for our poultry farmers and farmers across the constituency, so I am glad to see that swift action has been taken. The Minister mentioned two temporary control zones: one of 3 kilometres and one of…
In keeping with the previous debate, will the Minister outline how he will ensure that regional balance is factored into the scheme so that everyone across the North can benefit from it?
As a representative for West Tyrone, I am very aware of the damaging effects that regional imbalance has had on services, infrastructure and communities west of the Bann. For generations, indifferent British Governments and Stormont regimes have starved the west of resources and infrastructure, but that tide is…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire for his statement. I am sure that the Minister agrees that the principle of co-design and co-production with the disabled community is essential if we are to have a strategy that is fit for purpose and supported across the board. Will the Minister confirm whether the co-design group has…
I thank the Minister for his answer, but to hear that 3,000 people are waiting for an autism assessment is really stark, and it puts such stress on lots of families. Will the Minister give an indication of how autism assessment waiting lists in the Western Trust compare with those in the other trusts in the North?…
Last week, at the Communities Committee, departmental officials mentioned that the Minister is seeking additional and alternative funding for the football fund. Can the Minister confirm whether he is seeking additional and alternative funding for other sports or projects, or is it just the football fund that he is…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I will speak in support of the A5 and of the amendment that my party colleagues and I have tabled. I am really disappointed by the original motion and the obvious political intent behind it. Anyone here with any real understanding of the devastation that the road has…
I join other Members in welcoming Peter Martin as the new Chair of the Infrastructure Committee. I am sure that we will continue to work constructively together as a Committee. I also send my very best wishes to Deborah and her family as they embark on a whole new adventure. While the Water, Sustainable Drainage and…
