I welcome the vital work that the Minister is undertaking to provide support to local communities. Will he outline how his Northern Ireland community infrastructure fund can impact on rural communities? Has the AERA Minister shown his support?
I also welcome the opportunity to speak. I thank my constituency colleague John Blair for securing the Adjournment debate. As my colleague Trevor Clarke said, we have had this conversation many times in the House. Nevertheless, it is an issue that remains a vital topic. My colleague Steve Aiken also spoke so well. The…
I thank the Member for her important point. I reiterate that we absolutely acknowledge the disappointment that has been expressed. There are others who are not so disappointed, but we understand that there is a range of views. We have to make sure that whatever we do is fit for purpose and meets the needs of the…
I thank the Member for that important question. The public inquiry will tease out some of those issues, but, if the Member wishes to write to the office, we will ensure that he receives a full response.
I thank the Member for that important question. Yes, of course, we acknowledge that some victims and survivors were disappointed by the proposed 2011 posthumous date in the Bill. We are actively listening to their concerns, and we also welcome the Committee's views. There is no precedent for posthumous claims for an…
We are pleased that the Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill passed its Second Stage before the summer recess. Ministers welcomed the opportunity to meet the Committee Chair and Deputy Chair to discuss the Bill before it entered the Committee Stage. We…
I beg to move Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I speak for junior Minister Reilly and me when I say that we feel honoured to move the Second Stage of this important legislation on behalf of the First Minister, the deputy First Minister and the Executive. It is our view that it is one of the most significant Bills to be…
I thank the Member for her question. If I had finished my previous answer, I would have said that we will absolutely evaluate all the outworkings. As for the Executive's collaborative work, "Working Better Together" is one of the six outcomes in the EVAWG strategic framework and is embedded in the Programme for…
I thank the Member for that very important question. The change fund is an important part of the delivery plan. We are investing £3·2 million up to March 2026 in community-based action to help end violence against women and girls. The Member will know that the change fund provides grant funding directly to local…
There has been significant progress on the actions contained in the first ending violence against women and girls delivery plan since it was launched last September. The local and regional EVAWG change funds represent a £3·2 million investment for community and voluntary sector organisations in partnership with…
I thank the Member for that question on the success of T:BUC. I will give a little bit of an update on what is happening and what has been delivered. The Community Relations Council is a key partner in the delivery of good relations, as we all know, under the T:BUC strategy. The CRC works collaboratively with the…
I thank the Member for that question. The cross-cutting commitment to peace will make sure that everyone feels the benefit of a growing economy, an improved environment and a fairer society. Equality of opportunity and good relations are, obviously, central to that goal, and they support the immediate priority of…
The groups that are delivering under the central good relations fund and the Community Relations Council core funding programme undertake vital work in our communities, bringing people together, promoting good relations and contributing to the Programme for Government’s cross-cutting commitment to peace. For 2025-26,…
I take the opportunity to raise awareness of the fact that this is the month that we dedicate to ovarian cancer awareness. It is vital that we recognise the significant contributions of individuals who have worked tirelessly to bring this disease to the forefront. I pay tribute to two extraordinary women: Una Crudden,…
I congratulate the Randalstown Ulster Scots Cultural Society on recently receiving the King's Award for voluntary service. The organisation has truly become a beacon of hope and unity, offering a welcoming environment for everyone in the local community. Each week, it hosts an average of 10 diverse programmes that…
I take the opportunity to raise an issue that affects the residents of Monkstown Mews in my constituency of South Antrim. At the outset, I pay tribute to my party colleagues for their work on the issue before the constituency boundaries changed. The houses in Monkstown Mews were built almost 20 years ago. It is a…
I thank the Member for the question. There is some finalisation happening, and we appreciate that some victims and survivors may choose not to come forward to the independent panel. We must respect that, and it is an important part of the agreed process. There is clear value and expertise that that non-statutory…
I thank the Member for her question. We are not in a position to provide a definite timeline for the opening of the standardised payment, because we need to follow the Executive and Assembly processes to pass the required legislation. However, we remain committed to progressing that work at pace and are keen to ensure…
I thank the Member for her supplementary question. The next steps in the truth recovery programme, following Executive consideration of the final proposals, are to finalise draft legislation, after which we can press ahead with the introduction of the requisite legislation. Meanwhile, work is ongoing to establish the…
We thank all those who responded to the 12-week consultation that closed in September 2024. The 269 responses to it were reviewed, and a draft report was then shared with the consultation forum to ensure that the terminology used was sensitive to victim and survivors. A copy was also provided to the Committee for the…
I thank the Members opposite for tabling this important motion. I know that the House is committed to improving the lives of our autistic community. That has been demonstrated time and time again in the Chamber, including in the unified support for my private Member's Bill — now the Autism (Amendment) Act (Northern…
